  (the summary of those 5,000 posts, though, is, no, it is fine to sit on a yeast cake for a good
  long while. assuming you're storing it at fermenting temps or lower, before you run the risk of
  autolysi...

• Posted in thread: Found this recipe and had a question please on 01-24-2010 at 05:59 PM
  I am trying to understand this recipe. I read that it boils for 90 minutes...the first hop
  addition is at 60...does this sound right? I have never done a 90 minute boil before so I
  assume it boils for...

• Posted in thread: Chocolate Stout review from Stout experts please on 01-16-2010 at 02:45 PM
  I think the truth of it is, the burnt flavors of roasted barley can over power any chocolate
  flavor from the baking cocoa (or at least mask it, so they compliment but the chocolate is not
  pronounced),...

  I second the above, your yeast should be fine. Now that it has gotten started it should take
  care of its own business.When you say you added "semi-sweet chocolate," do you mean like
  chocolate chips, o...

• Posted in thread: What is your experience with peated malt? on 01-11-2010 at 10:35 PM
  Could you use the peat as a steeping grain?I mean, with so little of it in the grist it is not

  instead of m...

  Thanks! I ended up mashing at about 150, or that is what I aimed for.. I think it might have
  been off a bit, maybe closer to 152, but damn close... I forgot that the beaker I usually
  measure my gravit...

  Thanks for the input. I had planned on starting the ferment down around 62, and ramping it up
  every few days until it was around 70, and it will probably take a solid two weeks for the
  ferment, if not...

  It just fades... I dont know where it goes, its a beer mystery... The worry of CO2 carrying off
  hop aroma isnt in the bottle conditioning, though, as you're right, it is a closed system. It
  is when yo...

  IC works well for most folk. If you have a decent length of hose hooked up to your IC, get

  coil all of your...
