Hey everyone, Each year on my youtube channel we do a beer bracket. Last year we did an IPA beer bracket. This year we are doing 16 beers, but we will not do all the same style. We are going to do 4 mini brackets almost like South, East, West and Midwest: Belgian Stout Brown Ale Viewers...

I was thinking the FG would be lower on mine also. Like you I wouldn't change anyting.

This is a good beer. I took this to a Christmas party and it was gone in 4 hrs. I will be making this more. I'm not sure why, but the color was more dark brown than black so Ill have to look into that. From start to finish was 55 days. I ended up with a 5.6% ABV. I did make a tasting...

Nice I might have to try that in the next one I make. Thanks for the info

I like the setup but I wish I would have put space for a mower. The spacing I used was my weed eater. I didnt think about getting in between them to pick them. I can do it but If I have a lot to pick its hard. As long as I train them each day Im fine, but I did get some tangles. Most of the...
