      Hi folks,
      So last saturday I brewed up Saison Buffoon, from Radical Brewing. As I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, I am used to brewing on damp, if not rainy days. We have been having a heat wave here, which is one of the reasons for brewing the saison. I have always used the default evaporation rate in BIABacus, with excellent results, however this time, being 30 degrees out and bone dry, I seemed to have missed the mark and I managed to brew 4.5 gallons of beer with an o.g. of 1.082...

      Jolly. let it ride for a little while longer. Personally , I would not add any top up water now as you are into the process a bit much. As PP stated , you could add some soda water to it when pouring to see what difference it turns out to be.

      Hi all,
      
      So I have really been getting a kick out of this beer lately, and wanted to give it a go. The only clone attempt I can find out there is on byo.
      
      Looking at the brooklyn website, they say the beer has Hallertauer Perle, Willamette, Fuggle and Cascade. The byo recipe has only Willamette and EKG.
      
      Two questions; Could anyone help me to make this recipe a little closer to Brooklyns beer? I'm not looking for spot on, just something that is reminiscent of the Pennant Ale and tasty. Second,...

      JollyBombadil,
      
      I am no expert with recipes. So take what I say with a grain of salt. I try to trust a recipe the first time. I figure that the brewer tried many times to get the clone close and he or she is proud of what they have done? If however they are way off? I will go on from there on my own. But like I said, I try to replicate what they have done first. Not having heard of or much less tried the beer I am at a loss anyway as to say they hit the mark or not!
      
      Trust your fellow brewer...

      Hi folks,
      
      So I've been bumbling around in biabacus and think Im getting familiar with it. I would love for a more experienced brewer to have a peek though and check that things look good. This recipe is Bambi's Best Blonde Ale from Randy Moshers book, Brewing Radical Styles.
      
      VIF in section B and VAW in section D have both been inputted from section K's estimations. Is this an efficient way to estimate these numbers if my recipe only states volume into packaging?
      
      Thanks for the help and...

      Quick update here. Its been a while since brew day, and I must say I'm a big fan of this beer. I split the batch into three parts, one part as is, one on raspberries and one on apricots. The original beer is good, but the apricot blonde is a delicious beer. 2 2.5 gallons on 5 lbs of fresh apricots for 2 weeks did the trick. I like the complexity that it adds. My wife enjoys the raspberry version of this beer, but I find it lacks body and tartness.
      
      Anyways, thanks for the help. I would strongly...
