    Is my saison infected?

    I've been brewing for 3 years, and I've never seen this in my bottles before. What do you guys think? It tastes fine. It's a little funky, but I expected that with a saison.

    What can I do with these grains?

    Hi everyone. I have some leftover grains from a recent brew and I was hoping to figure out what I should brew with them. I have 4 oz each of chocolate, Munich, and English medium crystal. I also have 8oz of roasted barley. My initial thoughts are a stout, but that's what I just brewed. Thoughts?

    May have overcarbed cider. Bottle bombs?

    Hey guys. I bottled a dry-hopped cider a week ago and I'm concerned I might have bottle bombs. The cider was fermenting for two weeks and I assumed that it was completely finished because the yeast had dropped out and it was clear. So I went ahead and bottled it with .9oz table sugar (for a 1...
