Thanks! My OG was a little light, so I ended at ~9.4%. Original recipe is 9.9% ABV.

Equipment delays have me behind schedule. I have just taken ownership of a new to me system that I want to do a test run with something a little less complex so I am probably a few months out from brewing. I won't sell any, but if you want some I will put some aside for you. Will probably brew 10 gal and keep half as is and add coffee and bourbon soaked cacao nibs to the other half because bourbon.
Finally got a chance to leave town for the first time in forever this weekend. It was an epic day comprising of 1 cigar factory and 4 brewery stops with 3 tours.
Started Saturday off with a trip to El Titan de Bronze where they were working on some new El Oso and La Colemna stuff. Their house lines are fantastic. From there we hit J. Wakefield and just happened to walk up as they were doing a bottle release of Dragon fruit passion fruit Berliner. After snagging bottles we hopped over and got tours of both Wynwood and Concrete Beach before ending our night at MIA Brewing.
DFPF at Wakefields
A buddy of ours at Wynwood their training to be one of the assistant brewers.
Their BA stuff...
MIAs system...
Space they just bought to expand(and some DFPF lol)
Taproom
And some sweet graffiti from around Wynwood...

So... what's the official recipe? Scanned past posts lightly didn't see it. Got a week off come Thursday, and some gift certificates to LHBS to burn.
All the stuff that's 7.5oz can be rounded to an even 8oz to make things easier.
Hehe...maybe out of scope for the thread, but nice brew pron none the less!
Oh crap, haven't been following the thread, where's the recipe?

12 days in the bottle and I had to try.
I am impressed. The pour produced rolling carbonation, thick tan head. Very thick mouth feel! Dark chocolate and sweet maltiness on the top of the tongue, strong coffee on the back, and a hint of alcohol in the nose. I would say it's a relatively dry finish. This is gonna drink good. A few more weeks in the bottle will only make it better.

Brewing this tomorrow! Headed to homebrew mart now. I expect to be brewing this multiple times over the next few weeks to share with local BOTL!!
My favorite part about one gallon batches: $15 for ingredients!!

Nice @jasonsbeer!
Absolutely no problems covering the shipping if I end up getting the chance. As well as for anyone else brewing this if they decide to send some out. Shipping, brewing costs, whatever.

Beersmith never seems to scale linear. If I'm scaling I usually just double everything so it gives me even figures. If I do use it to scale I go back and round everything up to even/easy to work with numbers.
Same, makes life so much easier than adding .2 of this or that
