I was drinking and looking at the unanswered threads. Pol, you my friend get the medal for the most viewed thread and never a post. There was like 535 views on this thread, and not a single reply (until now). So I give you the “Unanswered Thread Award”...... And then have to take it away because it's no longer in the unanswered threads area

LOL

Pol-
I too have been looking at this recipe for some time now, but didn't want to be the male reproductive organ (Jaybird) who replied and screwed up your streak.

So how is this beer? How many times have you made it?
