Especially if some one accidentally adds one of them blue pills instead of 5.2 pH stabilizer :wink:

Now I understand why I can never quite get the perfect English pint. I can see that when I learned to brew there were some steps left out.
Drinking:Saison (in bottles), Belgian Dubbel (in bottles), Oud Bruin (in bottles), Olde Ale (in bottles),
Abbey Triple (in bottles), Munich Helles, Best Bitter (TT Landlord clone), English IPA
Conditioning: Traditional bock bier, CAP
Fermenting: Munich Dunkel
Next up: Bitter (London Pride like), ESB
So many beers to make, so little time (and cold storage space)
