I found it. Disregard. Got lucky when cleaning bottles today for the next brew. No mistaking.

I lost my notes (shame on me) for a beer I successfully harvested dregs from 3 months ago. It's terrible, but true. The label had "Ano 1216" on it, but through far too much searching I have come up with nothing. Can anyone identify the Abbey! Yes, it was a Belgian Trappist of unknown...

This thread is very useful to your ocean water cause - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/sea-water-gose-456209/ Note the fella who found the salinity (probably average as each I ean has a documented salinity...all of which are different) then converted that to ounces per given volume - now...

Yooper, great point, from all grain and using the software I havent thought some of this math through. Yes, much of the grst is purely unfermentable serving their own purposes from flavor (pale chocolate) to head retention (carpils and wheat), well played. IM relearning my brewing software...

Yes, the haze is very, very prominent as i racked to secondary. Perhaps when using oat flakes a standard recipe change is the addition of irish moss...hmmm

There is only sporadic info on the use of oat flakes in a brew for added mouthfeel. I have an irish red steeping, its an extract brew with specialty grains. I altered the recipe to get it further from a Killians and closer to a Smithwick's...Having said all that lets learn something here...

Hello, first thread, here we go. Just racked a "holiday ale.". Tossed one bulb of nutmeg into the secondary two weeks ago and when I popped the lid it was floating and had a patch of white fuzz on it. Any cause for concern? There was no fuzz floating on the beer, just on the portion of...
