At a restaurant last evening looking over the relatively good beer list. After being told "we no longer have that on tap" I said no problem, I'll take a tall 60 minute IPA. He responded "good choice! Doghead is great" He brought me a Fat Tire.

Sorry, misread your post. Dme needs to be pasteurized. Canned lme is sterile in the can. Would have recommended sterilizing the water but I say use it. You can always taste and smell your starter prior to pitching.

Really depends on the temp of the water. As long as it has been pasteurized, you are fine. Above 161 for 15 min or so.

So I have never been to New Orleans. I have a business trip that will land me there for the weekend. Any suggestions on what I should check out?

Pic?

717-hit the floor as a result of my enjoying homebrew while brewing. 718- While joking about breaking another hydrometer, we made it through the day. I cleaned it and put it back in the tube. I realized my autosiphon still had water in it so I turned it over to pour out in the sink. The...
