  I think they are high enough they'll be ok. If the stars aligned and a hurricane came up the
  Chesapeake Bay with a storm surge during a full moon. Then they might flood out. But that is
  like a 50 to 1...

  Planning on planting my year old bines this weekend near a river off the Chesapeake bay. Do you
  think the roots could grow too deep and tap into brackish water. They'll be planted about 6
  feet above w...

  Cool, sounds good. Mine has finally slowed down after a couple days at around 74 degrees. I
  think I'm going to bottle it in a couple days.

  I don't have any equipment like that. I only make ales and I ferment in a small half bathroom

  Well I don't think I can get it up to 90 but I can attempt to get it up to 80. I think after
  all the advice I'm going to check the gravity. If its done I'm going to take it to my basement
  and let the ...

  I haven't checked the gravity yet, that's my next step. It's going a stead 8 bubbles a minute.
  And has been at that rate for well over a week. I have yeast settling in the bottom but the

  I made a Belgian wit on Jan 19th and its still fermenting. I used Wyeast brand Belgian Witbier
  yeast 3944. My OG was 1.057. Temp has ranged from 65 to 70 degrees over the last two weeks. I'm
  pretty an...

  like the one for sale here. Mine doesn't have the two large flaps on the main box. Mine is
  also older, serial number 1090 as opposed to the 1437 here. How much older, I don't know.
