Hot damn, the Wisconsin cool front came down over the night, so I can fully enjoy the Undercrown Maduro toro with some hazelnut joe and bask in the 69° early morning air.

I loved his cigars. In the top 3 from little Havana vendors. What did you end up getting from el titan de Bronze ?

What are your other Little Havana Favorites? I'm planning a day down there. It's only 40 minutes away, but want to make the most of it.

Nomad, by Nomad Cigar Co. lancero and being enjoyed with hazelnut joe and another surprise, 61° in temp. I expect our brother @ChuckJr is a bit brisker than myself as he. Is in the panhandle. Have a good day gents.

Which yeast?

That guy, el titan de bronze, and I forget the name of the other one. But to be honest you can walk the whole area in like 1 hour. It’s maybe 10 blocks long. Great vibe. Great food and of course cigars

 

[JoeGibs]

Which yeast?

Wyeast 3068. I’ve tried every Hefeweizen yeast out there and if you’re trying to make something in the traditional hefe flavor like Paulaner, 3068 is it. My next runner up is white labs 300. An obscure one I liked but gave more of a Belgian wit end product was something called forbidden fruit by I think wyeast. Seasonal, tough to get. I harvested some after brewing, did some big starters, then froze it with some goofy concoction that they say will keep it viable for a couple years. Never used it though, kept going back to 3068

ETA, forgot to mention, this isn’t a normal hefe either, this is my mango hefe recipe that I created

I can now say I have smoked a cigar in a hurricane..

Thanks!

I've spent time down there, but previously have never been into cigars to appreciate that side of it. Looks like Padron is in the neighborhood also.

These Regalias are pretty dang tasty. Went back for another one.

Is that the Weihennstephaner one? It's been too long, so I don't remember all the numbers, but I tried them all and settled on that one fermented in the high 70s. Damn I miss making beer!
