This will be my first gruit. Looking forward. Yours is guaranteed to be the best I've ever had. I won't think it through any further than that.

Ah, good point.

I gotta say I have no ******* idea what this thread is about. But I wish you luck! 😁 :mug:

Could it be ambient contaminants? This is something I've wondered about, not even because of a problem. Just pops into my head every so often: If I had mold in my walls, would it end up getting into my beer, despite any sanitation efforts I make? We know sanitation doesn't get rid of...
