I enjoy science, music, brewing, politics, economics, and any controversial or important topics of the day.
Most of all, I love good information. I joined this site to learn and spread the best information available on the subject of brewing. - biochemist

I started home brewing in college while at the same time I was studying chemistry (a great tool set). During this time, I gained experience in all grain brewing, growing hops, yeast culture, building equipment, etc. After graduation, I quit brewing for a few years while I traveled. After purchasing my home, I set up shop in my garage where I continue to expand my knowledge on brewing. I also started to keg my home brew which has taken the hobby to a new level of satisfaction and efficiency.
I enjoy all styles. Currently, I am interested in brewing experiments that will yield great brew as well as confirm or deny existing brewing dogma. I encourage my fellow home brewers to experiment and post your data. Data is good. This will foster a more educated, aware, and creative brewing community. -

Ok you got me. Everything I said isn't really true at all. I made it all up. It is better to
accept dogma and push out any doubts or possibility that everything is not perfectly
understood. Are we in ...Posted in thread: Lambic early months fermentation during summer on 04-27-2012 at 01:12 PM
Let's correct some information here:First - saccharomyces IS present in the lambic blend from
WyeastSecond - cooler fermentation temps are a good idea for most ales but this is a completely

Yes. Counter clockwise will lower the outlet pressure. You had it wide open.Posted in thread: Mash Unmalted Wheat on 04-27-2012 at 02:25 AM
Old thread just got bumped...but I'll add a comment for those in similar situation. Why not
just do the step mash? You can do a step mash with just the raw wheat on the stove in your
kitchen, then add...Posted in thread: Lambic early months fermentation during summer on 04-27-2012 at 02:05 AM
Everything goes out the window with lambic brewing, and I don't think anyone can give you an
absolute answer. I say go for it, leave it at room temp. I've found that it's mostly ambiguity
and experime...Posted in thread: Post bleach water rinse: necessary? on 04-27-2012 at 12:21 AM

I would soak in a strong oxidizer. This will make compounds more water soluble. Try PBW or a
dilute bleach solution. Let the chemicals do the work. Let it soak for a long time, then hit it
with some w...Posted in thread: Jack White on 04-24-2012 at 07:38 PM
Jack White is one man and Zeppelin is...well a band. Having said that, Jack White is
multi-dimensional as Jimmy Page broke new ground. White is one of my favorite contemporary
musicians. I never liste...Posted in thread: Starter for a big beer on 04-24-2012 at 04:11 PM
I'd have to disagree, unless he's going to do stepped starter instead.A good reason supporting
your opinion would be nice for the OP. I've never had problems with high gravity beers using
the advice I...
