After being on here for a couple months, I've realized that this site is the little brother of BA.

Let's make fun of a newbie. How pathetic are you guys? Never mind your help. Thanks anyways.

Lol to the carrots comment. Serious question though: what are those floaters?

Why can't it be malty?

Actually the color of it is the same as what other websites are showing in pics that it should be. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Already whipped it up. Tasted a sample last week. Was good. Smells good as well. Looking forward to the finished product. Didn't get any harshness either.
