    @mors sorry I meant postie in it's own thread. So I did it anyway.

    Beeteedubbs, this looks pretty good... Have you done this before or was this just a spur of the moment kind of thing?

    It was no sparge so the OG was only 25 brix.

    Either way that's a big dang beer! Anything North of 1.100 is "big" in my book. (Drop the jokes all you wankers, we know it's funny "haha".)
