Just pour the yeast into the primary next time-- then introduce the wort down on top. At 68 F, rather than 100 F. Wort is mostly water, so there is the rehydration. It's full of nutrient already. --Adam Selene

I don't know, but IBU is a measurement after the fact, not a prescription, nor prediction. --Adam Selene

It's literally like making tea, in every respect, including NOT squeezing the teabag over the tea pot as you take it out. Don't continuously heat the grain, just infuse it once. --Adam Selene

You need a BIG funnle. Just small enough to fit into the neck of the carboy. The bag, once saturated with beer will be harder to pull out, Because your pulling it all out at the same time. Without a big funnel, put the hops in a plastic bag, invirt it and fasten it to the neck of the carboy with...

Don't know. Just pull the airlock/bung out, and plastic wrap the top of the carboy with an elastic band. --Adam Selene

Still can't get the spell check to work. Oh, well. Let them float. Puting them in a bag will make it harder to get them out again. Do the funnel chop stick thing. Then rack the beer down ontop. At first they look half dry, but they eventualy whik the beer up. Some whole hops are like feathers...

Couple options. Boil some water in a tall electric tea kettle (or pot or whatever) imerse the end of the line in the hot water. It will streighten the vinal hose reseting it's "memory". If you imerse the whole line in very hot water, then lift it up, and let gravity pull it down, it will have...

Ok. No flames. Even after someone compares what I have to say to dog beating. I never. I had this coming though. I KNEW this would hurt people's feelings. For what? It's just beer. The intimidation of beginners is what hurts my feelings. More so than the fetishism. I'll re-iterate what...

I appreciate what your trying to do. Reduce the ******* pressure on this thread. I don't like it either. What about sanitation? That can be a bit of a show stopper. How can I do that if I don't know the other conditions involved? A beginner will have to choose one, or the other in...

... DARK MATER... through a chromatography column. Now I know I've guessed it.

**** Papazian.

Planes land on air strips. If you build an air strip, planes will land. Cargo Cult. (Google it) --Adam Selene

... ARGON?? It's not Co2 right? Your not dropping dry ice in one end and somehow condensing the product on the other end? I know that your not going to tell me, but... is that something that you have tried? =D

... Nitrogen??

That's OK. That last point, I have made more than once in this thread. Or using a population that's already viable. It's not YES, or NO, it's what-- under what circumstances-- and why. The HOW fallows from that. "HI! I've never made beer before, but I'm totally stoked! Do I need a...

Oooooh. And yes I get the direction mixed up as often as I get left and right mixed up.

Well, have you counted each cell and asked them if they were still alive enough to wake up or not? Do you know how well they have been stored since the date of manufacturing? Did they sit for three weeks at room temperature in a where-house, before your reseller put them in the fridge? OR, were...

Yes, don't be afraid to splash the hell out of the wine, once or twice. Even the action of the siphon helps some. The trick is to get the pmbs in there at the same time so that oxygen doesn't get a chance to take the co2's place, and aerobic bacteria don't get a chance to horn in on the...

What's the phosphoric acid do? --Adam Selene
