    Grain of the Month Club

    With Canadian rates shipping a pound of a low cost-by-weight item will leave much of the revenue with the shipper. People with easy access to an LHBS will have a hard time justifying the shipping expense. I don't have easy access so depend on Internet and mail order. Purchasing in my neck of the...

    Anybody know what this thing is?

    Do they offer really expensive courses and accreditation for using it correctly? If that's the case it is a revenue generator.

    Wort chilling when a chiller can't be used ?

    I'm going to try running a slow, thin stream of wort from the boil to the primary fermenter through a copper tube submerged in ice water. I tried it with 20' of 3/8" silicon but it was too fast, wide and the material is not ideal for the purpose. At some point a thin, slow moving stream of wort...

    Melanoidin Malt head retention?

    Cereal mash with local wheat it is. Looks easy enough - but then again doing things is usually the part that adds the complexity. Thanks

    Melanoidin Malt head retention?

    I have a lot of wheat berries which are generally milled for bread. Will it act like flaked wheat or is the flaking process required to have it work correctly?

    Melanoidin Malt head retention?

    OK, that's good to know. I just cracked a stout with great flavour but a more determined head would be nice. It's only been in the bottle a month but I was curious. If it's a problem I will try some flaked barley. Thanks

    Melanoidin Malt head retention?

    Does Melanoidin malt aid head retention? The benefit is availability. Carafoam and others are not available to me presently.

    Independent Malt Producers?

    I'm amazed what I learn when I let my guard down. I've long been impressed with the transfer of the company to a cooperative and just assumed they milled the flour. They even say they buy milled flour in a video on their site. Lindley Mills is no new kid on the block. They've been around...

    Independent Malt Producers?

    Valley Malt looks interesting for those in the area and inspiring for those who aren't. Have they expanded beyond "the Northeastern craft and home brewer" as stated in their mission statement? Gambrinus in British Columbia seems to be part of Cargill...

    Independent Malt Producers?

    Are there cooperative or small, local malt producers? Malt producers appear to be owned by very large companies (e.g. Cargill. GrainCorp). From the King Arthur Flour cooperative to small local entities there are a lot of great food producers not using the multinational corporation model. It...

    jasonsbeer Good concept label. I would add a hint of highlight to the eye(s) and bring them up just a bit to add more life to the model.

    Champion juicer grain mill attatchment

    I use a Champion with the GrainMaster for wheat and rye flours used in bread. It just fine ground 2.2 pounds of rye in 3 minutes. A course grind (photograph) would be much quicker. I do more than ten pounds regularly when processing whole wheat and never had to delay or stop...

    Text to explain pouring on the label?

    To ensure highest quality pour without disturbing sediment.

    AVG fixed the problem. An update may need to be forced (right click AVG icon, select 'update now') to implement the change.

    Beersmith - Multiple Threat Detection - AVG

    There was a very recent upgrade to Internet Security 2012 and it has all the appearances of a false positive so I reported it to AVG.

    Beersmith - Multiple Threat Detection - AVG

    For the last few days the Beersmith websites have been blocked by AVG Internet Security on my system with the AVG Alert message "Multiple Threat Detection". For the Beersmith program AVG LinkScanner blocks the site and puts up the message "Threat was blocked!" AVG normally doesn't block sites...

    There are a lot of great and individual labels here. With 164 pages it will take time to view them all. With such impressive labels I can only imagine the beer is also very good. I made too many so created a link: Beer Labels In thinking about it I could have included fewer.
