Gonna split this batch. Base beer with just pils, oats, and a small bittering addition. After the primary, half will be bottled. The other half will get a substantial dry-hop with the Calypso and Legacy. I figure that’ll give me a good idea of what the Crooked Stave "strain" brings to the table while additionally finding out how it works with a big aroma addition.

I was underwhelmed by my first batch with Calypso, too much over-ripe pear for my nose.

My first 100% Brett (Trois/Drie) IPA is done fermenting (~1.010 from 1.065), but still looks murky. I’m giving it a week cool to clear before kegging and dry hopping with more Citra/Centennial/Chinook.

Good luck!

I like the combination with Legacy. I’ve never had it by itself.

Anxious to hear how this beer tastes.

Thanks.

Yup, haven’t loved Calypso so far, and know nothing about Legacy....Looking forward to using Trois in 2 weeks in an Anchorage Brewing inspired beer.
