Who were you selling audio for? I worked for SSL for a number of years as a product specialist.

I'm in too.

I just listened to the Jamil Show episode about brewing a mild, which I'll be doing tomorrow night. He says to use 1 Wyeast packet or White Labs tube. He specifically states to not pitch it on th yeast cake.

I go to Brooklyn Homebrew. They're great people, always ready to answer questions and pleasant about it. In fact I just got back from there.

I was going to pitch 1 Activator pack of Wyeast 1968. That is is what Jamil recommends in Brewing Classic Styles, I'm using his recipe. I'll leave it for 3 weeks in the bottle, minimum. But I figured that a lower gravity ale can be bottled quicker.

I'm going to brew an English Mild with OG of 1.036. Do I need/want to leave it in the fermenter for 3 weeks or is 2 weeks enough since it is a lower gravity ale?

At the end end of the ceremony they had these 3 giant torches in a big sculpture. They looked like giant joints. I bet the snowboarders got excited seeing that!

A simple English Mild on Sunday night. I am using the recipe from Jamil and John Plamer's book. I guess my beer is my valentine. :mug:

That is double work!

I just had to say it. In the morning we did some stuff and then I was the only one left and other than eat lunch I did nothing. I almost napped but I hate napping in a chair. I may do one small thing and then go home, get a cup of coffee, plan what I am buying at the LHBS tomorrow and then play...

The goal was to just see what different yeasts would do with the same wort. A listener sent in the beer and the BBR staff tasted them and tried to figure out ( guess ) which beer was brewed with which yeast.

As far as sanitizing goes I use Star San. But I have never cleaned bottles with Ocyclean or PBW. But the reply that PBW and oxyclean are just better is enough of a reason for me to use it. I also heard the Chuck Tally interview and while it was interesting about using bleach and vinegar in...

I know many people here use Oxyclean for cleaning bottles and label removal. But what is wrong with using bleach for cleaning, not sanitizing? You have to rinse anyway and from people say here oxyclean can leave a residue. What am I missing here, other than hair?

The reason why I would think that it would not be a cold solder joint is that after the receiver has warmed up it is still being bounced around and I would think you would still have some intermittency. The OP is saying it is fine once it warms up, not intermittent. Also when it starts he is...

It sounds like your receiver is not putting out sound until it warms up. This happens on my home receiver. This isn't a problem for me because I leave the receiver on, but you cannot do that. What I would do is try to find out what level the receiver outs out and get a boom box or mp3 player...

I'm a maintenance technician at a television studio. But I'm thinking of switching to some sort of computer networking.

I am still using fermenting buckets. If do the t-shirt method do I need to worry about small amount of water dripping in by the airlock grommet hole?

I'm glad they are not ruining Honker's Ale. I have fond memories of working in Chicago for a couple of months and drinking Honker's.

Congrats! Last night when I was coming home I saw 2 neighbors of mine who had tried my first brew and were impressed, felt good. The whole time, standing outside my apartment door and talking, I could smell my current batch fermenting. I smell hops in my future!

I think you can just take it out, let it get to room temperature, and pitch it tomorrow. If the wort is clear on top of the yeast slurry then you can pour off some of that, but it's probably still cloudy. I did the worst recently. I activated a Wyeast pack over a month ago, realized that I was...
