I just finished cleaning up after brewing 3 gallons of drsmurto's Landlord. My LHBS didn't have 1469 (W. Yorkshire) or 1187 (Ringwood), so I went with 1318 (London Ale III.) I've been working my way through Graham Wheeler's cask ale book over the past couple years using whatever English ale...

You may have already seen this, but if you haven't, it's a really nice Russian River APA. Row 2 Hill 56 Clone by Jukas

Oh wow! Looks like I'll be getting a pH meter soon...

I've been ordering from them since 2017, more so since the owner of my local homebrew supply shop got viral cardiomyopathy (and closed the store.) I think the free shipping over $65 happened in early 2022, possibly late 2021. (I have invoices from before 2022 showing shipping charges. Even back...

Yeah, fortunately for me, I have access through my academic institution. I can't post the pdf publicly because it violates copyright, but I think I can get away with sharing the pdf privately, for educational purposes, should anyone be interested.

I know Holden has a good practical solution worked out, but I found another reference in between checking on the roasting turkey. This one is pretty cool. Evaluation of gas diffusion through plastic materials used in experimental and sampling equipment It uses equations for the diffusion, plus...

Yes, you are right; the PhD thesis mentions off-gassing the membrane prior to the experiments, but their experimental procedure section is vague as to how long they do that. (Guessing it is hours, but that is a guess.) I wish I were more familiar with the NASA Outgassing tables, since we could...

If you have time to do more research, it would be worth considering the transient aspects involved here. We probably should consider the lag time before steady-state is achieved, because if our transfer time is below the lag time number, I shouldn't think we transfer significant mass during the...

I haven't found much, but the reference that might have vague information (but not likely stuff like recipes) is "The Story of Rockford," Michael Vala, M. F. Vala Publishing, Dubuque, IA, 1970. A description says, "Histories of the churches, businesses, schools and politics of Rockford, Iowa...

Iowa City Beer Caves Iowa City Breweries part 1 Iowa City Breweries 1880s part 2 The last two articles are good, and have references. I really need to go attend my mash now. Mary

I love looking up this type of thing. I'm brewing at the moment, so I can't spend a ton of time this morning, but I got a quick hit on ~1860s McGregor, Iowa breweries. Iowa Beer Caves Seems like these folks were brewing 7-8% lagers, aged in caves. Alright, back to my mash! Mary p.s. I grew...

Oh cool, thanks for the information and the new calculation! I know very little about kegging, even less about the chemical aspects of equilibrium carbonation in a keg, and have been a bit timid about posting in this forum, where so many are experts. (Long-time lurker, first-time poster here.)...

The temperature in the ideal gas law needs to be absolute, which means-- if we stay in American Engineering Units--that we have to add 459.67 to the temperature in degrees F. (The addition process means the unit change doesn't cancel out for the temps, but you are totally correct that we can use...
