I'm looking for some kind of source to prove to someone that yeast sediment in bottle conditioned beers isn't just safe to drink, but actually quite healthy. I've heard there are B vitamins etc, but I'm just hoping someone has a link to a site that blatantly points out what I wasn't able to...

woops i meant $12 for a 6 pack... that stings.

Thanks guys. Does anybody have an adjunct fermentability chart or something that can guide me through the math for a 19 L batch? I've been searching all over the site and with the search tool but I haven't found anything like that yet.

This is a noobie question I'm sure. I'm making cider, and I'm going to add molasses, honey, brown sugar, & maple syrup... Is there any reason to believe that any of these adjunct sugars would not raise the gravity reading on my hydrometer? I'm 99% sure that they will all raise the gravity...

Unless you live in Canada where it's $12 for a 12 pack, then it's a huge money saver!

We need a confirmation on the CLR effectiveness!

how'd it turn out? 2 years later...

Alright, alright I was kind of snarky and I might have just been skimming, saw that guy's post and replied... anyways haha

No it's a by-product of the refining process for cane sugar, like molasses. And it's way too good, I want some for pancakes or waffles

Why is it that people love to throw their vague opinions around but no one will commit to giving any facts, like how much honey to use for priming?

I reeeeally like vanilla, so a strong flavour wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing..

they adjusted it for me, but i think it'll be about 6 %

I'm brewing a clone of the GIB Winter Ale today. I got the recipe from Dan's Homebrewing Supply in Vancouver. Their recipe was for a stronger ale (about 8%) but I want to make one closer to the GIB version (5.5%). 8 Lbs. Pale male extract Steeping Grains: 1.2 lbs. crystal .25 lbs...

I think Vanilla beans would make a really good winter mead. Anybody else?

I really like the vanilla taste in my christmas ale, I wonder how much would be too much. 2 beans, 3? 4? Maybe it would jsut get better...

I think that's a fair theory. Especially the part about needing to keep the bottles at the same angle. Always.

I put my nice new carboy full of sanitizer outside and forgot it over night then I checked the next morning and the carboy had shattered and there was a carboy-shaped block of ice sitting there instead...

Has anybody heard of any homebrew competitions in BC or anywhere in Canada?

I want to build a rack that holds my grolsch bottles on a 90 degree angle so that while my brews condition, the yeast sediment collects in one corener of the bottle. This would reduce the surface area of the yeast sediment, thereby reducing the amount that would be stirred up while gently...

I'm curious about making root beer and/or cream soda with actual vanilla beans, because I'm pretty sure it would be freaking amazing. I need to know how much the typical dose of beans would be... and if anyone has a good, simple recipe for a soda that could use vanilla beans, that would be aces.
