Theirs reminded me of soap a little bit, but for a commercial example it was pretty good.

It seems that you enjoy the sage flavor, do you know any mainstream sage beers that are worth trying? Seems like if all the ingredients were right, it might turn out pretty good.

I know not the best review, but the problem wasn't the spice addition it was the saison yeast I used. It crapped out real early and left the beer overly sweet. Some people loved it, some people not a big fan. Myself, if I brewed it again and the FG was lower I would keep the sage addition the same and kick the pepper addition up a bit, maybe add a second pepper for more dimension. Eric – it turned out OK.

The last few times I had beer that had "hints" of sage, it was overpowering and I didn't enjoy it at all. Maybe since its homebrewed and you control the amount of sage it'll turn out nice.

Yup, still kegging, no, no new techniques per say, just a more efficient approach at this point I suppose. Actually, I did get the guage fixed at a reasonable price, but maybe a year ago the adjustment screw on the regulator froze and then broke. I had the whole thing taken apart to be fixed, but no one really wanted to get into it, oh well. Hey Eric, thanks.

Its been a few years since you wrote this post, are you still kegging? learned any new techniques. hope you got the gauge on the regulator fixed for a decent price, that could add up and be very irritating. i feel like i may be a little late to this, but still want to congratulate you on your first kegging.
