Aeration is a much bigger deal depending on how you transfer wort from your boil kettle to your fermenter. If you have a closed system, you aren't going to get any O2 into the wort (and you boiled the O2 out) and that will make the yeast cell membrane less functional and can produce off flavors...

I only use that type of smart assery with my friends.

Today while crushing my specialty grain, I had a small amount in a plastic bag. I was running the drill with one hand and pouring with the other, the bag slipped out of my hand and before I knew it got sucked into the mill, jamming it and sending the entire mill flying before my finger came off...

My response has always been: "No, I always flush after I pee."

Last Summer I did a saison with WLP 565 that turned out great. Fermentation temps were in the upper 80's per Phil Markowski's book on Farmhouse Ales. In the Markowski book, he has ideal temps for various saison yeasts and while most are under 80F - 565 is 80 to 95F. The other really hot one is...

If you get enough skis, you can have the same surface area. But I think it won't matter because you will need to get so much speed from the start that I don't see it as possible.

No snowboards but I have old skis. I'm sure it will work the same...

I love the idea. I'm in. I have to get to training though. Standing for 15 minutes is no mean feat, I'll definitely need some music - maybe stuff from Rocky I - CMVII (CMVI was the best, where Rocky won that boxing tournament after two weeks of hospice care) or Karate Kid or Chariots of Fire...

A couple of places that are T accessible to get local beer: Pemberton Farms - close to Davis Sq on Mass Ave. Alberts - close to Lechmere on Cambridge St. As for beers: Jack's Abby, Idle Hands, Trillium, Mystic, and Cambridge Brewing Co. are all really good and are MA only. Clown Shoes has...

Maybe they'll get smarter with age? Grandmothers are the best.

PTN, who is St. Patricia? When is her St's day? And why does it make ERs near Southie nervous?

All fancy for ACBF? Didn't you learn last year that it is about getting super drunk in the first 10 minutes and then standing in lines bragging about how drunk you are? Save the Firkin for something that people might remember you having a firkin... Preferrably involving yoga pants...like a...
