OK, so I was under the impression that alpha acids were hydrophobic, and had to isomerize in order to dissolve into water... does this sound familiar?
On p 64 of the Homebrewer's Companion Papazian says "Recall that alpha acids must be dissolved before they can become isomerized and affect beer bitterness."
just a curiousity kind of question...
oh, and did anyone see the IU-Duke game? we were SO close!
