    I have an LG refrigerator. No moving parts to go bad. In the past, I had a LG refrigeration unit. It saved money over electricity. If it cools or heats, LG should be more efficient than electric. Problem is whether you have personnell familiar to install and service. That can be a problem. LG is...

    John Palmer says aluminum is good.

    I prefer copper kettles. Ceramic pots work well too but takes more energy to bring to a boil.

    Dead Yeast?

    Since you have no LHBS and are brewing. You could use bread yeast from the grocery store. I'm not recommending it as an alternative, but is viable in an emergency where the wort will contaminate without proper fermentation. I used to brew both wine and beer successfully with bread yeast in Saudi...

    Dorm Brew

    I wish my country recognized full rights of adulthood like Austrailia. Instead we give it in stages. For some things a 12 year old might be considered an adult. At 18 we can vote and also fight and die in uniform. But, we must wait till 21 to legally have a drink. And because of this sort of...

    Today in History: First Canned beer

    I believe those first cans were zinc-steel. Talk about aftertaste after a few weeks or months aging. Aluminum cans used today are quite an improvement.

    Ring around the bottle neck

    I find a ring around the bottle neck is more often a contamination and contains lots of hops particles. Most of us are brewing ales and those are bottom fermentators. That is the yeast sinks to the bottom.
