Brew Like a Monk?

Has anyone else taken a look at the new "Brew Like a Monk : Trappist, Abbey, and Strong Belgian Ales and How to Brew Them" book by Stan Hieronymus? I finished going through all but the recipe chapter last night. Lots of interesting history and current info about the Belgian Ale producers. Scattered through the discussion of various producers are some interesting tips and tidbits about the production of the beers. It triggers thoughts on still more experiments I'll have to conduct which will result in still more Belgian beers I'll have to drink, what we do in the name of research in this hobby :-) -- Steve Piatz piatz(a)cray.com Cray Inc. 651-605-9049 1340 Mendota Heights Road cell: 651-428-1417 Mendota Heights, MN 55120
