So I realize this is an old thread but after looking at the patent I am a bit confused as to what is being patented... I see in the claims there is a set of criteria a, b, c etc... does the patent include all this criteria as a whole or is it any one portion of the criteria? I would think the...
Pipe smoking is great but it is also something that you should still do in moderation. I love sitting on the deck and having a bowl of fine tobacco. I own two pipes one is of standard length and the other is a churchwarden. I am 30 and I think it's too bad that tobacco is now frowned upon in...
I use the same hoses for cooling as I do for mashing so they are also exposed to the high heat. I noticed the new tubing seems to have s rougher surface so maybe it is trapping more coloring from the wort than the other tubing. My main concern was that I had somehow got ripped off and the tubing...
All the tubes have copper before them so if it picked up something from the copper I would think they would all be discolored. Also none of the tubes used during mashing stained either. It was only the new tubing that I used to finish the wort chiller. I'm just amazed that brand new silicon...

Ok well if you are trying to standardize the homebrewing process you are in the wrong place. Lots of people here do things lots of different ways...You are the one who seems to be pushing their agenda. If you think I'm spreading false information by having a preference then whatever...
Yes I do understand what you are saying. Believe it or not, you aren't the only educated person on this forum. I dont have to use the same products everyone else uses..
I'm more concerned that the cleaning agents used are in the wine. I dont know why but cheap liquor always makes me feel horrible. My homebrew has never given me a headache like some store bought products.
