I did a Lemon Coriander Weiss from Midwest Sunday. My first time with a burner and it was great to be able to do the entire 5G boil in less than 3 pots on the stove.

Not brewing anything this weekend as lucked out and got myself a 4x2x2' soon-to-be-kegerator. I also have my Clutter Buster nugget just abour ready to bottle, but seeing as it is SWMBOs favorite it wont last long so I thinks me needs to get the CO2 refilled and put it on gas. Next in line is Centennial Blonde. Hopefully that will beef up the pipeline so I can start working on getting some longer term bottle conditioning beers in the works.

Just kegged 5 gallon of Zoo House Saison 565.
Use White Labs WLP565 Saison yeast, pitched at 68* and ramped the temperature up to 85* by the end of week one. FG is 1.004, so I think it's done.

This zoo house version of his should be a good bit different then the other - There is a big flavor difference between Belgain saison and French saison yeast, especially if you get you fermentation temps up. I like both but personally prefer the French (and loved the Zoo House with it), but if you like DuPont then you would like the Belgian better.

Anyways, I bottled the Wai Iti Wheat saison today, so now I just need to wait for a few weeks and can try the "American" wheat version and the "Saison" version side by side. It was like 0.98, and has been that way for a week. 11.5g pack of Bella Saison does bad things to 2.5 gallons of 1.047 beer at 72-74 degrees. It tasted like a WIT beer crossed with a bone dry Saison. I think I like the Wai Iti. I know I like Bella Saison.

I can tell they will both be nice summer beers for the small effort I put into them. They both tasted good at bottling.
