    ABOUT ME

  • Data Security & Integrity
  • How / Why did I get started homebrewing? Easy: It was the wife. I've been making home-made soft drinks since High School (Root Beer, Ginger Ale -- that sort of thing), and have been going pretty strong ever since in the soda world. But, SWMBO made the observations that 1) I was forty-two years old and 2) I needed to grow up and 'Brew something real'. She then presented me with a gift-certificate to the nearby LHBS, and I've been here ever since.

    Howdy, all;While I'm aware there is a Balling scale when taking hydrometer readings -- I'm
    looking for a bit more of the background literature behind it.I'm assuming there's a Dr.
    Balling, PhD, somewh...

    Went to the New Belgium website where they have a "Learn More about Red Hoptober with the Beer

    I see the addition of the spices in secondary -- I'm assuming you treat them like dry-hopping,
    in terms of removal.But what about the spices that go in with the boil -- do we keep them in
    during prima...

    Fire (which is an Android tablet))... so long as the tablet is also a phone. "Phone" is a
    requirement. And ...

    dunnright00;I did NOT clean it out after the blowoff, and I'm sure it IS wort in the airlock
    getting moldy. I'm just concerned that the mold can somehow traverse the wort and then back
    down into the f...

    Howdy, all.I checked on my carboy this morning, and found the airlock full of white fluff.
    (it's a three-piece bubbler, not one of the S-curve ones).While I filled it with vodka when I
    first started t...
