You could very well be right, I don't know why I thought they would bottle condition beers. I guess my opinion was from seeing the bottle labels on netetiket.dk. But you are likely right, they probably weren't bottling much if any of the stuff. > Just some loose thoughts (while I am supposed to be working) What is this work?!
