Just brewed up another Pliny clone and for the first time a Belgian Quadrupel. Got to watch that Belgian though, the fermentation is going almost "nucular". It should clock in above 9% but will need 12 weeks until done. I doubt you can get the same hops or the proprietary yeast -- to the extent that matters. It tastes remarkably close to the real thing. Tons of different hops and it needs to be dry-hopped twice in secondary fermentation. It would probably be possible to extract and grow the yeast from a store-bought bottle. Problem is, you can hardly ever buy the stuff and that is the main reason why I brew it. Soon I'll have 50+ bottles of it. They should be left alone for a couple of months for aging but that requires a level of self-discipline I have a hard time with. I used yeast I extracted from a Koelsch that I brewed two weeks ago and just racked off to secondary. So my Pliny clone is 1% German I guess. You should skip the Clorox fest and go watch the Tour of California. Stages 5-7 are in your neighborhood. The Friday stage starts in Folsom. Hmm, I have to see because I actually get through that area on my road bike. Though I find road bike races utterly boring. People wait and wait and wait, then the peloton zips by, followed by a few stragglers, and that was it. https://www.folsom.ca.us/visitors/th...california.asp Maybe I can sneak into a celebration ride but with panniers, non-Lycra clothes, MTB pedals and mud caked onto the bike frame they'd probably kick me out.

There ain't much hair left on top to care for. And no, I am never getting into the habit of shaving leg hair just to squeeze another 500 milliseconds out of a 4h ride. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
