Just can't stand disorganization when you spend money to send and provide transcripts. A successful program is when you have your act together.

For those of you interested in the new certificate program being offered at UCSD you better be prepared to be disappointed. The program seems to be on the right track but the person overseeing the program is so disorganized that its going to have some clear issues.

The tartness of the beer is derived from the acid that exists in that fruit. Once the yeast has continued to do its Jon which is to ferment the sugars from the fruit, all that's left is the acid from that fruit. It's hard to determine how much you will get. Did a Cherimoya Wheat and left the...

My Willamette down here in SoCo is only about 2 feet long right now but climbing

Yeah you only need the zest of the orange. The additional sugar from the wedges will increase your alcohol but the acidity will stay behind as well. In other words, don't be surprised if your beer is tart. If you want that orange essence, next time makes these additions in your boil. And add...

When I've made unblended lambics, I rack my base beer to a "sour only" bucket before pitching my sour blend. Since a sour is typically supposed to be more flat then effervescent I wouldn't add additional yeast because you don't need to carbonate

Definitly three piece. The S is for looks. Comments acknowledged and apologize for *****y remark. If you're calling me a child, that's fine by me. Outdated doesn't mean it's wrong, just outdated and "perhaps" less applicable but not inaccurate. Hey, when you have your own Yeast strain on loan...

I could make money from this. The rentings of Jeff the all knowing. Thanks guys. Dropping off samples for a BJCP blind review of Oktoberfest beers right now. Cheers respected brewer and his sidekick

You are more then welcome, I only mentioned the Davis connection because the assumption was that I was homebrewer that couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground. I can't by the way! Going to start an IBD certificate course next month to see if the Brits do it any differently. Drink away!

Amen to that

***You have every right to believe what you want. No one will stop you from saying what you want to say. I just figured that I had to dum it down for you. If you wanted me to get technical with you, you should have just said so. If I read your posts correctly, you brew, you place your carboy in...

I think the advice was that if you did everything right, your 1 vial of yeast should be perfectly fine. The starter is only intended to start fermentation faster and increase the number of cells. I've been actually doing a two yeast strain combination with nice results. I'll track down what...

And the "I disagree on most of what you shared above. " yeah, that seems to be your trend without providing any valuable experience

So you know what a carboy airlock is right? You know that bubbles come up right? When fermentation slows down the bubbles slow down right? Do I have you at this point? The slow down tends to line up perfectly with the typical fermentation slow down or typical primary fermentation for particular...

I would say bottle do mature over time for certain types if beers (stouts, barley wines, manic if course) come to mind. Yes, you have to be quick with recapping after re-priming. The same is true with injecting them with new hydrated yeast. Sorry but I disagree with your airlock comment. I...

It's not about taking offense guys, it's telling and dictating what is right from wrong. Theory and hands on practice tell us one thing, you guys come across as "the authority", saying things like "these guys don't know what they're talking about" or it's" bad advice ". There is no bad advice...

Grab a beer and enjoy! There's my insult. Now go pound grain!
