What's everyone brewing?

I've just bottled something. Went for the parameters in beersmith of a wee heavy. Came out pretty nice, pre-carbonation.

Thanks for letting me know, it was my first time using apple juice extract. Probably won't do that again. I've never had this issue with liquid malt extract though, do you suppose that's not treated?

Sure it is not, grain is not fruit after all. I think grain will turn into angry shoggoth if threated with metabisulfite. At least it would be a mess.

Damn it, now I want a shoggoth beer. Eldricht flavours beyond your tongue's comprehension!

Really didn't think so, but you've shaken my faith slightly so I thought I'd better ask. Thanks again.
