Pacman Yeast

OG 1.048

This was a simple one. Just pale malt and 3.5oz of cascade divided at :60 :30 and :10. Then the remaining 1.5oz of cascade was dry-hopped in the secondary. Here are some photos:

 

Blueberry Saison

5lbs Wheat Malt
3lbs Pale DME
1oz  Hallertau (@ 60min)
1oz  Hallertau (@ 30min)
1oz Saaz (@ 10min)
Wyeast 3711 French Saison
6lbs frozen Blueberries (In Secondary)

This one turned out alright. I don't think I would make it again though. I think fruit is more suited to a yeast that does not ferment out all the sugars. Tastes slightly medical. Here are some shots:

Bag of Crap Ale

I made this beer with all my left over supplies that were living in the freezer. It was a 3g batch that was 50/50 wheat and pale malt, some crystal and dme. Hopped it 1.5oz of assorted left over hops. For yeast I used pacman yeast that I re-cultured from two Yellow Snow IPA bottles. Got to love free beer! Here are some photos:
