As to being worth my salt, I just scored a 43 in a BJCP comp, and best of class for my Berliner Weisse. Does that count? Depends who you ask.

In anticipation of this arriving in the LCBO, I am going to brew the clone recipe from CYBI '09, with some minor tweaks based on ingredient availability. Targets: 12 Gallons - 1.071 OG - 111 IBU - 9 SRM - 7.2% ABV Grain Bill: 27.75' 2-row 2'10" Carapils 1'5" C55 1'5" C20 4" Acid ...
