There's another thread somewhere around here about cutting up red oak lumber, burnishing, and soaking in whiskey. Sounds like a terrible idea to me because even if it's not pressure treated, who knows what they might add to the wood for "quality" or whatever. It seems like smoke chips would be...

Is this practiced? Sounds too easy.

I wonder if Jack Daniel's oak chips (for BBQ) could be used to oak a beer in secondary?

I'm about 150 and 6'3''. Lean. Shoulda got the small. That's okay, I think medium will be great for working on the bike in the shop. Thanks for the link!!

Yes, you're right, and I certainly managed to overlook the history of potatoes. I think I even watched a documentary on the topic this summer too. No excuse! There would have been a few available sources for starches and carbohydrates in beets (sea beets?), other tuberous vegetables and even...

Do they run big? I don't want it baggy. . . Anyone size 38" order a medium or small?

I would imagine that early skandinavisk alcohols were made with potato starches, berries, and herbs. For some reason the use of potato starch seems to be very overlooked and there might be a reason for this that I am unaware of. I think it's probable that there were vegetable additions as well...

Ooh foreign girls brewing beer! Is this what the dancing banana icon is for? I've been confused about this one. :ban:

Looks like a good system. Are you actively monitoring your temperatures? Was there a point where you did? I would hate to risk infection from measuring and messing around too much.

What is the approximate temperature of 5 gals of fluid vs ambient temperature? Fluids tend to stay slightly cooler, don't they? I'm in the northwest and it's been 40-50 outside which might translate a little through the floorboards(?), but on the other hand the fermentation process generates...

This article answered a lot. I'm still reading. Thank you.

I'm looking to make a rough india pale ale. I prefer a utilitarian beer with enough water to be refreshing. I've carefully selected my grains for specific characteristics as I'm attempting my first partial grain/extract brew. I picked out a total of 1.5oz of specialty grains, one pound of dry...
