Hi everyone, looking for some expert advice.
In May 7, 2015 I made a 100% brett beer using Brett Brux. The grain bill was 80% pils and 20% wheat. We made a starter over 2 weeks, about 600mL in an erlenmeyer flask under sanitized procedures. OG was 1.058 and by May 17 (10 days) it was down to...

Hey, I realize this thread is a bit dated, but I hope you're still around. I'm also a homebrewer living in Africa and I could use some advice. I'm wondering where you found that malted sorghum and what part of Africa you are in living in? I'm in Nigeria.
All teh best
