      This time I will be brewing sober to record everything that I am doing. I will be brewing 7 gallons of wheat beer and splitting it into 2- 3.5 gallon batches to later add cherries in one and the other will be lemon. Here is what...

      Ah! Caught out by one of the seven !
      
      Good find kmcace :salute:. It's more common than you think. Make sure you check the other six things though as they are also common and often happen in combination :o.
