Yup, it's been done before. Google Papazian zapap. (yes, seriously...zapap) http://brewingtechniques.com/library/backissues/issue6.5/depiro.html It's an old methodology, but it would work.

In October of 2011, a collection of experts from the International Association for Food Protection wrote an article based upon their experiments titled "Growth and Survival of Foodborne Pathogens in Beer". This is the abstract of that paper: "This work aimed to assess the growth and survival...

I don't know enough about your financial situation. Perhaps she is in the right to "*****". Or maybe not...

Don't see what there is to be ashamed about. Seems festive and appropriate for this time of year.

I remember REALLY loving the Sam Adams version last year, but I'm not feeling the 12 pack I just picked up. Strange....it just seems to have an odd after taste. Samples of the O-fest I've been lagering for a few months are mighty tastey. Can't wait to tap it fully for a party next weekend.

http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style03.php It's under European Amber Lager

For what it is worth, AHB is my local store. They tend to keep 2 or 3 recipes on tap there to sample and I have tasted the Pennsylvania Lager. It's really good, and very close to Yuengling.

What if the earthquake oxidized my beer!!! Should I dump it? (Sorry, just got back in my building to get my keys post quake. Little slap happy. Lesson learned, keys always go in pocket.)

Second the foil suggestion. I use foil for all of my lagers only because I don't have enough clearance for an airlock in my freezer. Haven't had a problem yet.

I just tapped a keg with a Citra/Cascade blended APA. It is phenominal, I really love this hop combination. I find the grapefruit-iness of the cascade really balances out the tropical fruitiness of the Citra. 60 Minute: .45 Oz Magnum 15 Minute: .5 oz Citra 10 Minute: .5 oz Citra 5 Minute: .5...

I bottle condition at 69 degrees for 2.5 weeks. :(

This would have gone a lot better for you if you had stated "Being close to a Saint I have invited my cancer stricken MIL into my house for care. Unfortunately it is lung cancer and I think the smell of brewing may be bad for this..." Or something along those lines. Whatever, the way this...

Based upon the listed dimensions, no it looks like these are proper ball lock kegs (not converted pin locks). jonp9576 may very well be correct in that they had some either lidless or non-functioning lids kegs and this is a more cost effective way to move inventory. Now, however, I am...

Well, I've always used pinlocks, and none of them have pull releases. So a couple items here while you make your decisions. 1) Absolutely you can bleed the kegs. You just have to push down the poppet valve to do so. Perhaps not as convenient as a pull valve, but extremely easy. I even have...

I dump my hot wort all the time and my unrefined palate picks up no ramifications and my untrained eyes pick up no clarity issues. OP, I think you'll be fine. I base this on nothing but personal experience, though I have had some peer reviews of my beer and they seem to like it. :)

I don't think the sugar in the cinnamon sugar will be helpful for what you are trying to do. All it will do is get fermented and dry out the final product. I would work to a relatively high mash temp, low attenuating yeast, and add the cinnamon at flame out. (At least that's when I add the...

These little braconid wasps are my heroes. They DESTROYED some hornworms in my garden last year. Not sure that this is a helpful factoid, unless it is possible to purposely introduce them to your backyard. I just got lucky. They take out the hornworm in a couple days and leave nothing...

Honestly, if a bartender can hold a glass and pull a lever, I'm happy. I don't require a dissertation on the particular style of liquid moving into the glass when said lever is pulled. ...Also helps if she's hot.

Studies like this are almost always reported as the percent increase of occurrence. It's the bigger number, so it makes for a more exciting story. Writing that heavy beer drinkers increase their risk of some disease from .005% to .00875% would be boring. (just an example, I have no idea what...
