the cursed belgian is dead

So yesterday I had to dump the dubbel down the drain because after two weeks in the secondary there was a layer of mold across the top of it. It was doomed from the get go. I would have felt worse had nothing gone wrong during the brewing process but because all the stuff that could go wrong did, it wasn't a very big deal to dump it. We'll give it a try again some day, but for now, I'm going to stick to American and British style ales.

In the bottle- Long Pull- British Brown
Steam Boat - Cal Common
Bitter Beer Face - German Pils
Primary- I Am Hefe - American Wheat (it's on day 8 in the primary and still bubbling away, maybe the OG was higher than my initial thought of 1.050)

Next Brewday - Probably RyePA

Tasting notes
Anderson Valley Brewing Brother David's Tripel- not really a fan. I have had plenty of belgian style ales that I like, a lot. Ommegang brewery's dubbel, Russian River Brewing's Damnation. And most of the stuff Anderson Valley puts out I like. Their Hop Ottin IPA is one of my favorites, and most potent. The Tripel just didn't do it for me. Oh well.
