IMG_0994Jeff, our itinerant Brew Nazi, really turned up the anal-retentive Monday. I didn’t even know the dial went past 10, but apparently it goes all the way to 11 (anyone? anyone?).

Fortunately, I think the fascist control of our mashing temperature can only help our latest pass at a Belgian. We decided to go with a classic dubbel. Our yeast starter got off to a great start over the weekend and we were only a few points off of our original gravity target, so we’re pretty excited about this one.

Joel is excited for a different reason. He thinks a “Belgian beer” is one that’s made out of really big waffles. They’re so cute when they’re clueless…

    Explain. What special control did he add to fermentation temp?

    After all, I’m always lookin’ for ideas :-)

    Yeah… I may have exaggerated. The “special control” involved keeping hot water handy in order to add to the mash if the temperature was off.
