They were at a brewery, so I am sure it was fine.

+1 on the Brewery!! A few us us took home some unfermented wort to finish ourselves but the bulk (most of it) will be on tap at the brewery in a few.... Trying to figure out how to convince the SWMBO that I need a setup like that!!! :rockin:

Ok so I didn't post pics, I suck. Ok, I'm over it. This beer was a total bust anyway, first beer that I've killed. I mashed too low and ended up with a super cloyingly sweet beer. I think the only thing that fermented was the honey. Too low of a mash temp would make non-fermentable sugars right? I think I was @ the 145-147 mark on my mash, I usually mash around 152. Thoughts?

temps too low usually ends up with a dry beer, not sweet.
