Homebrewing equipment and technology are constantly evolving. With so many great companies competing for space in the homebrewing industry, we are seeing more and more innovations than ever before. This is great for current homebrewers and future homebrewers. Making things easier and more consistent is good for everyone in the homebrewing hobby.
We've had "Mash and Boil" systems for a while, but now the shift is to new "Ferment and serve" systems. These new "Ferment and Serve" systems will help all homebrewers, especially new homebrewers, create great tasting beer very early in the homebrewing hobby.
The iGulu and the KegKing Solstice are just new equipment showing off technological progress in the homebrewing sector.

I believe that this beer style should be better represented in both bottle shops and at our local breweries, but sadly, most people probably have never had the opportunity to enjoy a good Saison, also known as Farmhouse Ale.
The style lends itself well to an excellent refreshing Summer ale, as well as a great base beer for spiced and fruited specialty ales.
If you're looking to brew a great fruit beer, consider a Saison style, as it lends itself to fruit beers with numerous complementary aromas and flavors from the chosen yeast.

The goal here was to provide home brewers with information on calculating their grain-to-water ratio, aiming to include as much helpful information as possible. Additionally, it was a valuable learning experience for me, which I am, of course, sharing.
?@davidhall158? Credit for sending me down this Home Brewing rabbit hole. We had a great discussion, and he got me thinking, so I had no choice but to research the information.
