Thanks for the info guys. I'll give it a taste this weekend and post the results.

It smells beautiful!! :mug:

Hey guys, about a year ago I decided to do a little experiment with the leftovers of a brown ale I had. I bottled some for a competition and threw in a packet of Roselare yeast to the remaining 3 gallons. After peeking in on it over the past year, its developed quite a funk. At first, there was...

Hell yeah congrats Don!! :mug: I can't wait to try it out! I haven't been able to make it in lately due to being very sick the past couple of weeks. I'm glad to hear things are going so well!! Hopefully I'll be able to make it in soon!

And you couldn't have done it without us around, right?? Heh heh. Sounds really good man! Can't wait to sample a bit!
