  Be sure you didn't try to bottle condition some of your beers in the fridge. Your bottles need
  to be between 65-75 (roughly) during bottle conditioning so the 34-40 you'll find in your
  fridge won't al...

• Posted in thread: Ah Nuts! (using nuts in brewing) on 04-26-2010 at 12:47 AM
  The real question for me right now is whether to try one of these ways of adding nuts (making a
  liquor infusion, adding them to the mash, or "dry-nutting") or to just use some extract.
  Extract is defi...

  I'd like to revive this thread because I'm planning a beer that will also utilize nuts. I want
  to soak walnuts in bourbon and add the bourbon to a porter either in secondary or at bottling.
  Anyone els...

• Posted in thread: How easy is it to oxidize my beer? on 04-05-2010 at 11:03 PM
  The other day I was transferring my Milk Stout to a secondary and all of the sudden my
  auto-siphon started spewing bubbles that were seemingly coming from nowhere. I think the rubber
  ring around the p...

  I am also curious about using orange blossom water. I find it hard to believe that no HBTers
  have used it before. Anyone?

• Posted in thread: Samuel Adams Boston Ale Homage on 03-27-2010 at 05:07 PM
  As an employee at the SA Boston Brewery, I'd recommend using WLP008, 'East Coast Ale' as they
  call it, that is a strain derived directly from the SA ale yeast which we use in most of our
  ales. It will...

• Posted in thread: Dry Hop Failure....well not total failure on 03-22-2010 at 07:32 PM
  This is something I've also struggled with.The first time I used pellets and a nylon hop bag,
  results were mostly good but the bag closed with a little tie-string which could not keep some
  of the pell...

  CO2 is heavier than O2. So you probably had a nice layer of CO2 sitting on top of the beer
  preventing any bacterial infection (barring anything in there prior to fermentation). Since
  you're almost don...

  So, I brew at my parents' house in Plymouth, MA although I live at my apartment in Boston and I
  come to the house about once a week to brew, bottle, transfer to secondary etc... Today I came
  to the ho...
