There are a lot of other factors. Like age and health, that would determine the level of benefit. If you're wondering, then there is no reason why you shouldn't try it. I took 30 day absence this year and realized my gut pains weren't from drinking, but rather back pain from sleeping too long...

Hey, in as Grathan. Good luck. And thanks Ryan for doing this again.

Hey, any chance for an invite? thanks

Hey, any chance for an invite?

I think a brewery with a tasting room on one side and ingredient store on the other. It would sell exact clone recipe kits.

It looks like distilled purified water with some iron. Perfect for brewing.

Had #7 the other day on tap. I thought it was the best IPA I had ever drank. But since I had never heard of it, I chalked it up to not have tasted a beer in months. Heavy Seas - Loose Canon Some nice surprises on the list.

If you measure in ppb you have to be careful with the sample. I think breweries inject a needle probe right through the beer can to sample. Even then I wonder if the needle would carry some 02 through into the beer.

This is a copy of my inventory. I crossed out the stuff I plan on using as well as changed a couple quantities to red to show the amount that I could offer if not the full quantity. Not looking for anything in return. *EDIT stuff is all gone, thanks.

The headspace in the bottle might contain 02. I've read the bottle filler can cause 02, but I don't understand that. Another idea would be using a blichman beer gun to bottle. I'd be interested in hearing about any further testing you do.

I use a spreadsheet. Some things I find useful: -How many packages. Like 13+1+1 would be 13oz and two additional 1ozpackages. This makes it easier to see if something is open or if a bulk package exists. -Columns for years. This makes it easy to see what is getting old. Though it makes for...

It's not very pragmatic if you don't mention oxygenation. As Adam suggested the trub is yeast fuel. If memory serves you oxygenate with shaking which means the trub beer benefiting hugely from the trub.

Removing ingredients after boiling them together for an hour to see if their is a flavor impact part II. Neat how stupid things fascinate us when it comes to brewing.

Doing spring inventory on hops and grain. I have way too much old hops and grain if anyone wants some.

Why would the copper have to merge? Why not create the manifold/tees out of plastic and nylon outside of the brew pot?
