My question is, how long can I keep a premixed solution in another...
I am getting ready to step up to AG and purchase all the necessary equipment to batch sparge. I want to create my own recipe, but I am having some trouble understanding some of the calculations. I am using BeerAlchemy to formulate a Belgian Golden Strong Ale. My questions are...
