Hi
So it seems to me that the general consciences around here is that it takes practice to become a good mazer. I want to make a 5 gallon batch of BOMM. I can follow a recipe to the letter with no problem. I understand and practice good sanitation techniques. I also understand step feeding and so forth.
So my question is this. If one follows these things without deviating what might be some things a newsier might, or might not do to mess things up? It seems like in a general sense newbies are suggested to "practice" on one gallon batches for a while.
I haven't yet been doing this long enough to have harvested any of my batches but they are seemingly all doing well so far. The ones that should be clearing are doing just that and I have tasted everything along the way when I'm racking and they all taste ok and others actually taste pretty good already.
I want to make a BOMM for Christmas and was just wondering what I should know that is not in the written material.
Thanks
Ryan
