Thanks, I thought more people would reply to this thread too. Good information, I knew that any differences would be negligible because my beer has been turning out fine, I just wanted to know a little of the science behind it.

Does anyone out there know if there is an effect of altitude on the carbonation of beer in bottles during conditioning. I ask because I live in Laramie, WY at 7200'. My beer is carbonating fine, I'm just curious about the logistics of this. My guess is that since the air is thinner the higher...

The Belgian Black is called 1554 and it is one of my absolute favorites. Also the loft is fantastic. If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Ft. Collins, CO they should definately make the trip. The new belgium brewery has a fantastic brew tour and lots of free samples. Some beers they offer...

What do you all think of the New, New Belgium TV ads? They recently launched their TV campaign nearly nationwide. The ads are very artsy and were directed by Ridley Scott's Son. I just ask because New Belgium is close to Laramie and their marketing guy and PR guy came up to the University of...

Not that I know of, I have been and still am in college there, University of Wyoming. As a beer drinking college student you can imagine I've been exposed to the dangers. I've stayed clean for six years (knock on wood) so I'd say that the myth is busted. But then again, I like to think I have...

Yeah, they were pretty small, 1/4" probably. It's good to hear that others have seen this too. I hope that it's nothing to worry about. I'll poke it with a stick so to speak tonight and see if it is CO2 or what. I may taste it too. If my Gravity is low enough, I may rack to my secondary...

Ok, I hope I'm jumping to conclusions but I am a little scared that I may have a contamination problem. I brewed an IPA on Thursday night. (tons of hops) I left town for the weekend so I didn't get to watch it do anything. Last night (sunday) when I got home there was obvious evidence of...

I'm getting ready to brew my third batch soon (IPA) I think. I just have a quick question about testing my gravity when my beer is in a carboy. I have been using a graduated cylinder and filling it with dips of my racking tube and then testing with my hydrometer. I just poke my racking tube...

I also just tasted my Pale Ale which is my first batch of beer. My girlfriend and brewing partner racked to the secondary when I was out of town for the weekend and forgot to check the gravity. So I used that opportunity to test the gravity and taste it too. Tasted flat but good and the...
