I don't think the law works that way. Not that you really have to worry about it or anything.

There's a guy I know who insists Guinness is a brown ale.

A guy from Schlafly was at the grocery store giving out samples and when we started talking about dry hopping a small crowd gathered And of course by that i mean like 2-3 people :cross:

Doesn't it become safe when mixed with sufficient ethanol? :off:

I think you don't even have to do that because the amount of methanol produced is insignificant. If you were purposefully trying to isolate the methanol by collecting only the first drops, then you could get a high concentration of it, but I'm not sure if the amount would be dangerous. When...

We recently had a week long power outage and boil order. I'd have been a fool not to buy my new KAB6 in case it happens again!

The thing about this that would make me nervous is that instead of the cop thinking He may have been thinking Which could have just as easily been Which is why I wouldn't have consented to a search.

I don't think it's fair to include the cost of the keggerator in the cost of brewing. You could just as well have built the kegerator to serve commercial brew.

The wort isn't scorching, it is undissolved malt that falls to the bottom of the pot. As others have mentioned, you need to remove the heat source while you add the malt and make sure it is dissolved before you begin to add heat again. As long as there is no undissolved malt, you can crank up...

I'm so sorry :(

Could someone please tell me what this means?

I never intended to imply that a single drink will cause harm. We just do not know it to be safe. Currently the only way to know with 100% certainty that there will be no detrimental effect of alcohol is to abstain completely. That is all I have been saying and I don't think we are in...

I agree. I don't think unpasteurized beer would be any worse than pasteurized. Edit: Pregnancy and alcohol is still an important thing to discuss, albeit a bit off topic from the original point of this thread.

We know for a fact alcohol is very bad for the fetus. We just haven't found a threshold for safety. As far as I know, the strongest point on your side is a lack of data, which is not very compelling. If you have something stronger then please share.

No, there have been studies that have shown some amounts of alcohol can actually be beneficial to our adult health. Definitely not so for the fetus.

I don't know what kaiser423 is referring to, but I do know this: The only amount of alcohol we know to be safe during pregnancy is zero.

This isn't true and a lot of people end up hurting themselves with this line of thinking. Note that I am referring to life in general and not home brewing.

The water guy in my town used to manage water in St. Louis and he worked closely with the breweries so he was pretty awesome. I'm moving though, so I hope my next water guy is cool.

My point wasn't about turbidity. My point was if you want to know pH, ask for pH. I guess you did that.

Ask specific questions. If you want to know turbidity, ask what the turbidity is.
