    Specific Heat of Wort (A Scientific Approach)

    Hi, all. I've been a long time (mostly) lurker here on the forums and I've learned a whole bunch from reading countless threads. I've always wanted to give something back, and I think I have a worthwhile contribution to offer. I brewed a batch of beer yesterday and decided to conduct a little...

    My first experiment with roasting gluten free grains...

    My interest in roasting grains comes mostly from wanting to try to make something like the recipe by Lcasanova here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f78/gluten-free-pumpkin-spice-ale-147707/ If anyone is interested in reading my post in that thread, they'll see that I'm not going to exactly...

    Amylase / Alpha-galactosidase and wacky ingredients

    I've been reading a bit on the forums here about using these two enzymes to convert complex carbohydrates to simple sugars that yeast can then consume. I have a basic understanding of how the temperature and pH of the mash affect how well the specific enzymes function. I'm not entirely clear...

    Please help me learn by critiquing a recipe.

    I'm still a rookie brewer. I've done about 6 batches of beer and 4 of wine over the last 8 months or so, and I'm pretty happy with my results for the most part. I have one clunker here that I'm not happy with the outcome, and I'm interested in hearing what someone else would have done...

    50 Back American Lager

    Did a quick search on here, didn't see any other threads about this beer... Apparently it's only available in MA. If I was able to buy it, I'd gladly throw some money their way. Seems like a legit company and for a good cause. Maybe someone else on HBT might be interested in it for their...

    Like beer? Like video games too?

    This might be right up your alley, then: http://www.dreamarcades.com/octane120.shtml :rockin: I did a search, and this does not seem to be a re-post... I figured there had to be at least a few other people out there besides me that would think this is just about the coolest thing in...

    Article on wacky beers...

    Thought I'd share this: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/food-for-men/weirdest-beers-030311 I'd definitely be up for trying that Peruvian one. The roadkill? Just a gimmick. It actually has nothing to do with the beer, just how it's packaged. But, the weasel poo might be too much for me...

    Homemade malta from extract?

    I've recently taken a fancy to malta soft drinks. I like Goya, Hatuey, and the generic store brand that's available near me. I know some people think it's gross, but I enjoy it. I have been able to find very little malta-related info here on HBT, mostly people using it when making a yeast...

    The Straight Dope on brown glass bottles...

    Did a quick search and I didn't see this posted already, thought I'd share: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2979/are-brown-bottles-better-for-beer Regardless of what you think of Uncle Cecil's opinion on what color glass bottles to use, there's some neat stuff in the archives...

    Potassium metabisulfite / sorbistat K questions...

    I'm pretty new to brewing and I've jumped in with both feet. The info that I have found on HBT has been priceless, but there are some things I guess I'll have to learn by trial and error and personal experience... I've made two 5 gallon batches of wine so far; one from a muscat concentrate...

    Newbie question, re: yeast for Munton's light / dark extracts.

    Hi, all. I've nosed through the first 5 pages of threads in this forum and tried a couple of different searches, but I didn't come up with any clear answer to my question. I've already brewed one batch of the Munton's American style light with the yeast that comes packaged with it, and I was...

    Why do I have trouble capping Heineken 22 oz bottles?

    I've tried searching in this forum, but I can't seem to find any other reference to this problem. When I try to cap these bottles with a regular ol' red wing capper, the cap doesn't seem to seat all the way. Is the opening on these bottles a different size than standard 12 oz bottles? Do...

    Can you culture a MOV / SCOBY from unpasteurized apple cider vinegar?

    Hi all. Short time lurker, first time poster here. I had never heard of kombucha before stumbling across these forums and I'm excited to learn about and maybe try something new. I've read a bit over the past couple of weeks about kombucha, vinegar, and fermenting in general. I understand...
