That's how I sanitize my bottles. Plastic wrap is also very handy for covering stuff. Thanks for leading the way guys. My booze is better because of your videos.
I have an old farm tractor, so I figured if you send me a couple cases, we'll test your theory, lol. Great video as always, James and Steve. I have no tractor, damn! Cheers guys!!
If your looking for anymore funk from your honey; let it boil a bit longer and the froth will rise to the top. You can then lower the temp and swish it back in the honey water before adding. In that froth is all the funky stuff from cross polinating, bee's legs the works. For making a honey brew without the funk; let it froth and just keep scooping it off an discarding it. Then in the taste you'll get more Busy Bee than Counto Gregorio.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and i think this will be my next brew. this is how i want to be when I'm as old as you guys are (no disrespect) you guys just enjoy beer and love life.
The problem I see and have read with sanitizing in the dishwasher is the water jets spin very fast and the bottle opening is small, so little, if any, water will get inside. For that reason, when I used to bottle beer, I always soaked them in a bucket of Star San.
It's all about the heat in the dishwasher. The bottles go in clean, then I use the hottest wash setting (no soap) and the heated drying cycle. I measured the temp in the dishwasher, and it topped 170F for more than ten minutes - more than adequate to sanitize the bottles. - James
That's the way I do it, too, when batch priming. The small amount of hot solution doesn't raise the temperature of the much larger volume of beer very much at all. I've never had any problems with the beer carbonating afterwards. - James

I'm watching this in Paris. You guys are right, the French are a casual bunch especially this time of year.
You guys are so relaxed, and I really like seeing the trees in the background. Watching this really relaxed me! I wanna brew some farmhouse now!
7% & it was your 2nd runnings? Well done! BRAVO!!
recipe should be included in the show notes. I'd love to try this out
Really enjoy your vids. Regularly use the bottle opener to the amazement of friends. Keep up the great work!
Excellent stuff as always, cheers fellas!
you guys are the best

is it possible for you to share the exact recipe? i know you guys said some stuff in the video but if there is anything else..
Aren't you diluting by bottling with beer? Since you boil out any alcohol? Interesting idea though, maybe just pasteurize?
So was it coriander or cardamom? Been looking for a good/simple saison recipe. This one sounds good.
David Howard Both. 1/2 tsp coriander and 1/4 tsp cardamom. - James

Isn t saison a style originated in west wallonia? (French speaking part of Belgium) cheers. Great video as always!
Yeah the French have the right idea -- to enjoy life :-)
Great saison brew.
Cheers Lads
great episode guys! what was the first beer of the partigyle?
excellent & hilarious
So you dumped the priming sugar solution into the beer hot off the stove? Hmmm.
That's the way I do it, too, when batch priming. The small amount of hot solution doesn't raise the temperature of the much larger volume of beer very much at all. I've never had any problems with the beer carbonating afterwards. - James
basicbrewing haha, I don't know... I've seen a few videos with carbonation issues!! Lol
Ha! :-) Time usually takes care of those. I'm usually rushing batches to get ready for shooting. - James
nice brew I will try this one out.....
Diesel Tractor Eh? lol Cheers
