    Looks infected to me. You perhaps have sanitation issues. Are you fermenting in a bucket with a
    spigot. If so, that is probably your infection source. Get some PBW and soak everything for an

    All noble hops are good in Belgian beers. Just don't overdue them. Most Belgians are low in

    I've done many small batches of tomato wine. Done with skins on and off. Doesn't matter. The

    tomatoes. Similar ...

    I assume grains of paradise are the same as paradise seeds? Do you crack them first? Also I
