Well it appears to be a moot point. Now into boil stage and no interest from the pup.

I'm glad your dog was okay but you gotta love his enthusiasm for beer!

You win the thread!

I mean I prefaced it with it being a ridiculous question. Think it's fair though. After all- music effects plant growth and under the right conditions sound can be used as a refrigeration device (it is by Ben and Jerry's if I'm not mistaken).

Oh damn... And you're from interior FL? I'll take what you say about mosquitoes as gospel.

I'll be inside but I've never heard that about propane before... Interesting. I'll prob just put a baby gate at the kitchen door.

Are you serious or are you mocking me?

Well good! Mine will probably get a solid dose of anything from Led Zeppelin to Kanye to Sam Cooke to OutKast to Passion Pit to Bach to Killer Mike all the way on over to Miles Davis.

Anyone have experience brewing around dogs? I did my first batch at my parent's house and my 10 year old was there but he mostly sleeps on my parent's bed at this point. I'm doing my second batch this weekend and have a 2 year old with me. She's got quite a bit more energy but doesn't...

Thanks!

I learned the hard way during my first brew that my parents flat surface electric stove will not boil 3 gallons of wort. I had to transfer the bot outside onto my dad's fish fryer halfway through in order to see an actual bubbling boil. That was months ago though and I now have a fish fryer...

I feel like this is a ridiculous question but one I must ask. Does loud noise near a fermenter effect the yeast at all? I'm not talking like ground shaking noise but just noise alone. I'm doing research this summer and it has provided me with the luxury of working from home about 4 days a...

bruguru great tip! I've been wondering about this for a few months. I'm going to do this later in the fall once and have a cola stout ready for the colder months (around my parts that's like 50*, but still). Soooo many Negative Nancys on here - I'm glad to finally found an answer. I presume...

I'm a relatively new member to the boards here. I joined for the beer discussion but hoped you soda guys could help me with something. I've been looking at an easy home carbonating system just for things like water, flavored water, juice, green tea, and maybe a few sodas. I really just...

Yeah, I'm starting more and more to think I'm just going to move everything to my place and just let it be for a week or two. If anything It'll probably be too cool as opposed to too warm (in terms of comfortable temps for humans) so I imagine the beer will be fine.
