  I'm not sure what to do with it. My girlfriend's family this passed Christmas did a secret
  santa, pick a name out of a hat and spend $50.00 thing and I got a brewer's best Belgian Triple
  kit. Even my ...

  P.S... is this a definite "No" on the muntons dry?

  huh, thats really not as bad as I thought it would be. I have kept even milder beers in for
  that long. Only other issue I could pick at would be how sour it would get, and of course how
  much oxygen th...

  I was afraid of that.... hahaha I am pretty timid of the brett. I fear the process of balancing

  I am trying to pick a yeast for my new, old ale...:drunk:..... I keep running onto a muntons

  I used .5 oz of Spaltz in my flameout leaving .5 oz in the bag still. I used clean hands and

  the women i...

  It's starting to look like my dubbel will finish a bit high at FG 1.019. I have been debating
  weather or not to pitch more yeast for bottling. I started at OG 1.079 and pitched 11.5g of
  Safbrew t-58. ...

  History: I had the common 1.020 conundrum recently for a couple days. I roused the yeast and
  ramped up the heat in my brew room 2 or three degrees and it's fermenting away again
  wonderfully. Here are ...
