Funny. I have a sweater with a hood on it; a "hooded sweater". Over there that would be a "bonneted jumper"? Sounds like something I would put on my little baby girl.

and if I told someone that I had "smoked a fag" it would mean something TOTALLY different than what you think of.

LOL.

Ahh, well, we also have hooded sweaters (hoodies). They are all the rage with the pubescent youth of our society. And yes, bonnets are little hats that baby girls and shepherdesses wear...

I have done this when, for some reason, they were not getting enough warmth where I was storing them. ONce I warmed them up, I put them in an area that I knew was getting warmth.

Simple and works.

I have tried this too in an attempt to get yeast activity up, but the carboy (and beer inside) ended up warm to the touch (water bath in the sink).

Do you think I fried the yeast??

Hope not, b/c I'm hoping to bottle the stuff soon...
