Hey, don't try to fool me about this not being a Covid post by showing boobs.

People will tell you all kinds of stuff. Personally I find that if fermentation is 50ish (F) (not above 55F) a diacetyl rest is not needed. Ferment 2-3 weeks, lager (like in the fridge around 32F) in secondary 2-4 weeks.

Not for over 4 hours I hope!!!

From scratch with no info is kinda tough as CostalBrew mentioned. It's a bit easier with some information which I do not really find on the site. Just OG, FG, ABV, IBU and a mention of "American hops". You could just randomly fill in the blanks to fit the specs. Maybe Pale ale malt with some...

For the decimal point.

When I was brewing extract kits I turned pieces of the different kit's instructions and things I picked up in brew forums into my own instructions. This would mean that all the kit instructions were lacking something.

It doesn't. It's an optical illusion. Have you ever noticed the strange triangle cuts the pizza shop makes?

A better article about both couples. In the article: It is believed both couples died after adding almost pure 97 per cent alcohol in the form of ethanol into their home brew..... A relative, who asked not to be named, told IOL Media: ‘They drank home-made ginger beer which apparently had pure...

Interesting. Well enough as in 1 all grain brew, 10 all grain brews, 100 all grain brews......then something changed and there are issues?

Still no real follow up article with the results of any investigation but surprise there is an article about another couple dying from homemade beer. One comment below the article says, "The previous couple did NOT die from homemade beer, rather from ingesting household spiritus with their...

You can boil malt extract for the whole boil but do not add too much. I believe it is no more than 2 lbs per gallon otherwise your beer will be darker than it is supposed to be. Less is better than more. Add the rest after the boil.

Yeah, but for bitterness the hops need to boil for 60 minutes so you would want to use enough water to account for boil off.

Yeah, you can boil hops in either just water or water with UME mixxed in. Some people think you need something for the hops to "bind" to and others think that is bunk, so either should be okay. Hopefully you will be using a brewing calculator with the actual AA of the hops.

Fill in the blank. When you accidentally rack mead onto sanitizer = When you accidentally __________ on your grandmother. Pretending like it never happened will not work.
