I'm very tempted to grab a glass of saison, but I promised myself to wait at least 3-4 weeks before starting it So, gotta wait another 10 days :( Gonna pour myself a mosi lager instead

Interesting, but 250 ml instead of 5 litres? Factor 20. Not sure if that gives the same intensity, but keen to hear the results of your experiment

Per 10 litre Bitter orange dried, max 15 gr at 5 minutes Citrus peel fresh, max 15 gr at 15 minutes Sweet orange dried, max 15 gr at 15 minutes (Taken from "verander water in bier", by Adrie Otte)

And snakes, don't forget snakes! Although mostly they disappear, we are not their prey. But my dogs may be So yesterday Sherlock (my Jack Russell) and Bibi (Jack Russell cross) killed a Mozambique spitting cobra. Both dogs are fine :)

That means an overseas trip... Not available here Thanks

It's often used in Belgian beers, I quite often use lime zest instead. I think I used something like 5 gr per 10 litre and at 15 minutes. I'll check and get back here

To me, the most dangerous around here are hyena and baboon. They have lost their fear of humans. But I am quite careful where I go, won't go deep bush on foot without a proper guide

They may still come...

Did you buy some? (They have been around for a long time)

Coffee, served in Germany :p

I can't like that post... But it's all pretty safe, we are not their normal prey and there is enough food for them on the other side of the border ;)

Yep, you guessed that correct!

Opposite my house. Went to have a quick look by boat

Ours come out in April/May

Just above 12 this morning here at 14 oC, but 35 day time

And the beer is still very young....

I had quite a lot of those last time I was in Northern Europe :)

I have brewed saisons (diastaticus) before but just can't remember how I cleaned the equipment :) I'll just use all methods, though not at the same time And in the meantime I can always use a different fermenter. I should probably have used my stainless one (hindsight)

I used a saison yeast. Lallemand Fermenter is only 10 litres. I've not got any campden tablets, but still very tempted to go for the chlorine idea. Then just put it outside in the sun till the chlorine smell is gone maybe

Any advice? I use a Speidel fermenter, so I can't use boiling water. I don't have access to a lot of the nore "standard" cleaning agents. I got Unscented dish washer Chlorine Vinegar Salt Caustic soda Star san And I think I got some oxyclean somehere
