I use less than called for as well (but more than you, 6 tbsp for 5 gallons). I also add warmed molasses about 30 minutes before using (when I top off the water)
I'm not sure about using that much less however, never tried it
Watch out with the fat flowers tea, it's a bubbler, I usually only fill up my brewer half way then top it off before I use it, and it still bubbles over
OES' new breeder, sticky finger, has a strain name that seems to ring a bell......hmmm.........I know it sounds familiar......some lesser known strain perhaps
Do sticky finger and Bodhi have a connection?
And it's different lineage
No need for apology, I've never ordered from em nor will (peak and sannies are the only reason to deal with customs), just thought I'd seen their banners before
Nice selection of varying breeders from all (little to no IHG, hmmmmm)......

I have only made one purchase with him (around Xmas). Got some of Mel's Buck purps and a pack of green life's silver Hawks, both were hand written on baggies
Are they some of your shoreline crosses he has?
