  I've only read through the first 8 pages of this thread so far so I apologize if this has
  already been covered but the huge British ale company, Marstons is using this technology
  commercially currentl...

  Beads?Yep. Rhymes with "reads", which you should do to the rest of this thread and then you'll
  understand. Adam

  Another possibility is that the alpha acids are the same between the two beers, but the absence
  of flocculating yeast in the beads beer resulted in less hop polyphenols falling out of
  suspension and t...

  speaking of diffusion of sugars...This sounds like it would be more efficient with simple
  sugars since the permeability of longer chain sugars would be naturally smaller. I wonder if
  the wine guys are...

  Yet, I've never heard of a commercial brewery actually going this route. I've got to imagine
  that if AB-Inbev isn't doing this, it's not because they haven't heard of it.I've only read
  through the fi...

• Posted in thread: Difference between kellerbier and hefeweizen? on 05-02-2013 at 05:04 PM
  KraphtBier did a great job with the wheat beer side of the issue. A kellerbier is just an
  unfiltered lager that's served at "cold basement" temperatures and has lower levels of CO2 than
  most lagers. T...

  I can't leave this thread to sit here forever like this. The oak chip tea thing is utterly
  ridiculous. These beers have NO oak flavor; not ever. The "oak" barrels that you sometimes see
  Kellerbier and...

• Posted in thread: Fermentation Profile for a Kellerbier on 05-02-2013 at 04:30 PM
  I've got a kellerbier (well technically a Zwickel / Zoigl) in primary fermentation currently
  but I'm really curious about what a typical German kellerbier fermentation profile would look
  like. The bee...

  biertourist - Have you gotten your dip tube from stout yet? I need another whirlpool return,
  and I'm debating between this and the one from Brewer's Hardware. Mind if I ask a few
  questions?Did you get...
