Thats an awesome friggin idea with the gallon markers.. why the hell didnt i think of something that simple. ehhhhhhhhh

I bottled both my Spiced Saison and my Pumpkin Coffee Ale last night!

let us know your experiences and how it turns out :) its very satisfying to make limoncello.. and you can have it in a bottle ready to drink in 7-10 days.. depending on the strength of the liquor you use to macerate. I personally use 195 proof neutral grain (Like 195 proof Everclear)...

bahahahah did you actually read the score sheet? lol

I'll agree that the steeped coffee i used in my pumpkin coffee ale surprisingly didnt add a lot of extra color to it. It went from an orange hue to just a darker or burnt orange color.. I used 28oz coffee for 5 gallons. You can also use this... its a new culinary product on the market...

Whats the name of the brewery?
