    Anybody interested in HB Club in Belgium??

    Hi, I would like to join / start a homebrew club in the BENELUX. Homebrewing is my hobby and I spend much time in pursuit, but I have problems finding folks I can relate to. My wife can only handle so much beer talk....I'd like to take part in (or put together) a monthly gathering with...

    Hello from Belgium

    Slow Fermentation

    Hello, I'm a newby and just brewed my fifth batch. I moved on to 5 gallon batches after only brewing 2.5 gallon batches before--I've had good results and it's a lot of work so might as well go with 5 gallon batches. Anyways, I just brewed a Belgian Saison. Did a hydro reading prior to...
