Re: How many carboys do you have?

Oh man, yea, there has been a ton of great advice. I think right now my aspirations are outstripping my possibilities. I'm restricted by money, and brewing stovetop in an apartment.

I am brewing a saison this weekend, and thought the wheat would be great to use. However, given that this is my 4th brew, I have no idea how to use it. I know i need to ...
