• Posted in thread: Anyone ever used WLP080 Cream Ale for Blonde Ale? on 11-16-2012 at 06:07 AM
  I used a slurry from a previous batch for the stout I mentioned above. Turned out great. I
  hadn't really thought about the whole blend thing. I'll be buying some again for a few upcoming
  batches so it...

• Posted in thread: Massive amounts of black malt...What's the worst that can happen? on 10-12-2012 at 09:17 PM

  I think that's a good call, B-Hoppy. Looks like I got a male. You think I can return it to the
