I enjoy making and drinking lots of different beer, but my favorites tend to be Belgian style ales. But then again, there's nothing like a nice fresh IPA.

I won a "best of show" for a Southern English Brown ale, which I then got to help brew at Howe Sound Brewing. London Town Brown: https://untappd.com/beer/320937

comment Using trub directly vs. yeast rinsing.
How did you store the trub for 5 months? Refrigerated? Room temp?

comment Bottling and Caps are loose
Ah, it was a loaner! I thought it was maybe a worn-out capper at first, but you said this was your first attempt at brewing. I had a capper that was great for about 8 years, and then I started getting all these non-sealed bottles. I got a new capper and everything's fine again.

Maybe you could just add "for an all-grain mango porter" to the end of the question.

Is it bottled yet? If so, how did it turn out?

Cool, thanks. I don't think there's any significant bacteria in mine, either. And thanks for the correction... I've edited the question.

comment What is the proper way to use Melanoidin Malt in a recipe
Can anyone list some widely-available commercial examples of beers with this sweet/fruity maltiness?
