Hey, guys. Meet Barley.
He adopted us a couple months ago and has turned out to be a very good cat. He has a great personality and is an excellent mouser, which we need living in the country. Being a cat, he sleeps most of the day. Imagine that.
I have used many, many different bottles of starsan and have never noticed any odor I would call offensive. It does have a smell but it isn't offensive. Sour, acidic, slightly chemical maybe.
The color does vary quite a bit from batch to batch, I've noticed.
Death lurks all around
Which door should I choose
My brain is addled
Fogged from the booze
I'd walk through the fourth wall
Though I get the feeling
I'd be much better off
Climbing through the ceiling
:mug:
DingDingDing!!!
The first tongue taco of the thread!
You sir, win one thousand :taco: points.
Redeemable at your nearest corner taco truck. Just print out a screenshot of this post. It's legit.
Silver bullet.
Dry doesn't necessarily mean the opposite of wet. In brewing terms, it also means the opposite of sweet. Fresh wort is sweet. After fermentation the beer is not sweet. It is relatively dry.
We add hops after the beer is dry, thus dry hopping.
I'm probably not gonna word this right because of five (now six) dry hopped beers but here we go.
Regarding your scientific statement of cold not existing. Yes, it's technically correct but have you ever cracked open a room temp beer, taken a drink and thought, "Man, that's cold."? I haven't...
It's true that dry hopping is a misnomer but cold hopping is equally so. We cool hop, warm hop, and room temp hop but cold hopping just doesn't work. The hop oils won't disperse properly in cold beer. That's why even when we keg hop we leave the hops in at warmer temps for a couple days before...
Here ya go. Straight from the company. Why-east. I'll probably continue to pronounce it wye-yeast, as I have for years.
