Subject: Saison Voisin (yeast question)

Does anyone know if the "Giants" Brewery (Basserie des Geants) bottles
with another yeast, or is it the original saison yeast left in the bottle?
I ask in that I just had one, and would like to grow those critters, if
one can.

Their Saison Voisin tastes quite nice to me.

Subject: Coffee Beers

SWMBO fell in love with coffee beers at GABF. So we brewed a 
porter last weekend so we could try our hand at adding coffee to 
one keg. I did a coffee stout one time with 12 cups of strong
coffee per 5 gallons. Memory says it was good, but I am 
not the best note taker after the beer ferments. Anyone have
any recent experience?

Her favorite beer at GABF was Java the Hut, and it did win 
gold. In talking to the brewer he takes fresh locally roasted 
coffee and cold steeps it for two days then adds to the 
already fermented beer. How much??? Would it work with
a hazelnut coffee? 

Which brings me to hazelnut and beer. If the hazelnut coffee
is a no go, how much hazelnut do you add to a beer? 

As I plan on doing it this weekend and HBD does not have the 
traffic it once did please send replies to me AND HBD. In the 
future I will try to reply to more questions. AJ and -S keep up 
the posting we are still reading! -S were you / are you still 
involved with Albany Pump Station?

The Savannah Brewers League will host the Bay

Georgia Brewer of the Year Award. Entries in 
all BJCP categories but mead will be accepted.

Savannah is a great town to visit and the
Blues and Brew Fest will be that weekend!

Hi Spencer,

  As far as beer in New Orleans, the only places I've been to are the 
Crescent City Brewhouse (http://www.crescentcitybrewhouse.com/) and d.b.a. 
(http://www.drinkgoodstuff.com/).  Both are a reasonable walk from lower 
Canal Street, and worth the walk.

  The Fisherman's line of beers are available around my area.  I'd have to 
check to see if the pumpkin stout is currently available.  Send me an email 
directly, and we can discuss the details of a beer swap.
