Honestly, everyone raves about the raspberry puree from Oregon but I wasn't that pleased. I found it didn't have the acidic edge that the beer needs. I get this from the whole fruit but not from the puree. It's almost like the puree is a little too rounded in flavor. I need it to be sharper.

DUDE!!! Congrats! Another one for the trophy case! :mug:

Thanks! It's a great beer. I hope you like it! :mug:

I dry hop it in the secondary for 7 days then condition for a month.

Went through music school and got a masters in bass performance. I played professionally for a handful of years. Now I teach music at a middle school and play 2-3 gigs a week with mostly jazz groups and the symphony.

I'm not sure that there's a style that I wouldn't oak really. I have had great experiences with oaking a saison, barleywine, pale ale, IPA, and american brown. It all depends on the recipe and the intention. I even think that you could oak an american light lager and it would be nice. Given...

Congrats on the kid! Now start brewing and cellaring about 3 years worth of beer! :D :mug:
