Cucumbers: what are the recommendations?

Cheers Gerhard, for this input. FWIW, I started hearing about this a week or so ago, and yes it was even discussion fodder at the table of not-very-young Herren where I enjoyed a Seidla and Schnitt last week in Burgebrach. No salad for us tonight at home, but only because we're out and I'm making a Spargelsuppe of some kind or other. And to make this thread topical, here's another advantage to using the wide-neck 25 L carboys from Italia, demonstrated with the latest batch of Franconian Golden Ale: http://i51.tinypic.com/33fb1tu.jpg The hawk-eyed among us might see that it's reading about 2.5 Plato or 1.010 OG which is not bad for 2 days of fermentation. I think I'll just let that Würzespindel float in there a while. And before you Engländer lose your appetites over how murky it is, remember, it was brewed and the yeast pitched two days ago, here just racked to secondary. Primary ferment goes blitzschnell with 1.029 OG (7,2% Stammwürze/Plato) -- the temp rose from 20C/68F at pitching (ansetzen der Hefe) to 25C/77F during the first day! (Ambient temp 21/70) This one's probably 110 IBU: Columbus bittering, 2:1 Citra / Amarillo late hopping. Love, love, love the Nottingham yeast!
