Yep. Just iodine with a something to keep it soluble. One of my go to chemicals. I keep 2 or 3 bottles around the process area (house). Scrapes and cuts, sanitizing, starch test... Good stuff. Cheers!

If you are mostly fighting heat (trying to stay cool), a small chest freezer and one of the temp controllers is perfect. Set the freezer to fully on (cold) and use the controller to turn the power on and off to the freezer. Simple. I've been using one of the old mechanical controllers since...

+1 Can't really go wrong with this for that... yes? Cheers!

I'd just brew it. Let us know how it comes out. Have fun! Cheers!

I haven't bottle conditioned in a while, but this is exactly what I remember. Maybe the yeast are fewer due to the higher alcohol or maybe a little slower/weaker. I just remember when I brewed a high alcohol brew, it took longer to carbonate. It's hard to wait, really hard.... but give it...

Yep. Right on. Absolutely. For a beer like that, I think sitting in the primary is a good choice. I haven't always thought that and I still secondary lighter ales (sometimes), but a little warm in the primary will help that one. Cheers!

I'm thinking you might have a question about your recipe. Care to share? Cheers!

Amen to that. Wow. We should drop this. It's ok now. Cheers! Really...

Is there a question of some sort about the recipe? Cheers!

Having read much of your work, I'd be willing to bet real money you ask for specific info. I'll look, but if you've thrown out a "tell me anything and everything you can about this list of beer parts I'm thinking of using" post, at least in a lot of years, I'll send you a few of my next...

Excellent advice, but I must say I can't get too excited about this sort of thing. I just thought the "please comment on my painting" posts fit more in the "welcome to art" area than they do in the "if I had used more ocher in the lower sunset, my horses would have blended better with the...
