Thanks for the heads up, LandoLincoln. Appreciate it.

Yikes! That's not the intention at all. It's about homebrewing being the perfect embodiment of the American dream.

Hi all, I'm working on an article that I'll eventually submit for publishing on HBT and I'm looking for any breweries in existence today that were founded by people who "belong" to a minority group (per the social science definition of the phrase, that is, as a reference to categories of...

Very cool, man! Very cool. I literally just started brewing Saturday morning with a Mr. Beer kit my brother bought me for my birthday. Yesterday, my fiancée texted me and asked me if it was OK to move the Little Brown Keg to a different room. A very small gesture to some, but it meant a lot to...

Consider this: Say you're a rabid NFL fan. The average NFL game is ~3 hours [1]. There are 16 Monday Night games. That's ~48 hours watching football. Now, it's safe to say that if you're one of these people watching every Monday Night game, you're probably catching other games throughout the...

Quality guy, that's for damn sure. Funny thing is I created this thread hoping he'd chime in since I saw the knowledge bombs he was dropping in other threads on Brew Science. And boom!

Snaggin' it here shortly. Thanks, man. Very much appreciated!

Any objections to this one: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry? A search of "oxidation-reduction reactions" within the book (courtesy of Google Books) shows that it's first mentioned on page 23 (of over 1,000). Also only $2 used!

ajdelange, thank you very, very much for your thorough response. The chemistry behind the brewing process is fascinating to me, so I'm trying to study up on it as best as I can. I'm brushing up on my chemistry and am actively jumping into things like the University of Oklahoma's online class...

Not much to update today. I'm normally a very patient person, but I guess the thrill of tasting a beer I made is making me super antsy. Anyways, over the weekend I joined the Arizona Society of Homebrewers. I'm very excited to be a part of it and look forward to meeting other homebrewers in...

Quick bump. I don't know if bumping is kosher here, so I apologize if this is against the rules!

Hey there, wdwalter! Glad I could keep you entertained and thank you for the welcome. I'm shooting to update this journal once every other day, but there will probably be times where things are slow when an update isn't warranted, i.e. right now. Since my beergasm this morning after...

I don't have much to add, but I would like to leave you with a quote that strikes pretty near to the core of what makes homebrewing so appealing to me: "Beer has long been the prime lubricant in our social intercourse and the sacred throat-anointing fluid that accompanies the ritual of...

Hi Sam516! I think you forgot to paste the recipe. Might help the other homies answer your question. :)

Hi flars, Good news is I didn't hold it in my hand. I placed it in the sink and let the hot water run over it. Thanks for the like! I intend to update this thread regularly if for no one else but myself. Always good to know I'm not shouting into an echo chamber, though.

Just checked in on how my little family of yeast was doing. All looks well (sorry for the poor picture quality)! Never thought something 3 - 4 micrometers in diameter could make me so happy!

I originally posted this in my beer journal thread (which you can view here), but I didn't pose it as a question and the thread itself isn't getting much visibility, so I'm posting it here for some input. For some quick context, I did some research into what happens when wort oxidizes and what...

gnr9933, I've got a setup similar to you. I'm in an apartment with a modest stove and relatively little space, but I don't have a "true" setup in that I am currently running with a Mr. Beer Little Brown Keg. With regards to your temperature dilemma, why don't you plan a day to take baseline...

I just spent the past few hours researching some of the chemistry behind brewing. Surprisingly enough, I actually enjoyed what I read. I started with the basics of alcohol fermentation then segued into what happens when wort oxidizes, and what happens when ethanol oxidizes and reverts back...

unionrdr, do you ever find Palmer's description of the presence of acetaldehyde to hold true? That is, "a flavor of green apples or freshly cut pumpkin?"
