I just met both of the Whites recently, both are good guys.....lets see if we can get a little banter going. I did 30 gallons of cider split into six batches in December....all with a different strain. 1056, 1968, 3711 French Saison, 3278 Lambic Blend(my fav so far), Rudesheimer and Champagne. In Feb did a Baltic Porter, March was Denny Conn's RyePA, April was Berliner Weisse, Kolsch in May and last week did 4 batches of Saison with the 3711, 3724, 3725, 3726. I cant frickin wait! On deck are three English ales, IPA, Porter and a Brown. As to ZZ's comment about knowledge/experience....I just have a lot of practical experience brewing a few beers a bazillion times. One thing I have enjoyed so far is the depth of knowledge that homebrewing community has, and wading throught he archives has already filled in some of the gaps for me. Yea Bub, the 3068 is the BOMB!! I used this at GordonBiersch and look forward to doing some for myself this fall. HopRunner and any one else in th PNW, dont miss out on HopMadness2008 in the Willamette Valley. From what I hear, its a great gig. Farm tours, free hops for on site brewing of fresh hop ale...frickin delicious! Check out
