Made a Maris Otter & centennial SMASH this morning. Dropped a wooden spoon in the wort before pitching yeast. Who thinks I'll be dumping thus batch down the drain in the near future?

Revvy - I'm new to forum but I had my aortic valve replaced in April of 2008. It was a tough couple of months but I'm 100% now. Glad to hear you are well.
