What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I brew…. How much % you want :)
Me too! I just finished a Wee Heavy that clocked in at 12%. That was a bit much. I usually try to keep my ipas at about 6 to 8% depending on the malt bill. You're my new best friend, you drive over with Luis and *Gar!

Will do brother. Then, while you're here, you can show me how to make my torches look more torchy like yours :)
 
What site is that? What a sale.
Cultivated reef. If you google it it's the first one to pop up and they are a R2R sponsor apparently. I also found out they are 15 minutes from my house :star-struck:
 
All my life I’ve been eating pork and sauerkraut on New Year’s Day for good luck. It never worked but it must be an accumulative thing and I finally reached it. Best way to start out the New Year!
