Subject: Whatcha Makin'? Another pLambic?




Just wanted to emphasize a recent thread that ran through here a couple
weeks back. Designate one set of racking equipment "Lambics only" and
another set as "not for Lambics". Otherwise, you'll find yourself making
a few more lambic-style beers than you might think.


So, is this latest batch a bad pLambic, or a _really_ bad brown ale? You
be the judge....
