Brewed a summer ale, a coffee blonde, and a Kentucky Common yesterday. First time brewing since my son was born in Oct...was nice to get back to it.

Well, just to close the loop, yesterday was brew day. I mashed 2lb of grits with 1lb of grain and 4qts of water. I meant to refrigerate it, but didn't finish until about 11pm and forgot it on the stove (covered) overnight. Started brewing in the morning, put the burner on med-low and heated...

What kind of chilling times do you see with this in real-world use?

That's an interesting thought...I'm using the old fashioned grits so they need to be converted, although I'll still need to add grain to keep them somewhat liquid. I think next time I'll just use the quick-cook grits and skip the separate mash, and just bump the volume by 10-15% or so.

Yeah its a concern. I scorched the crap out of the grits the first time I tried it, on my gas burner. Last time I used the electric stove and it went much better. When I start heating strike water I'll prob throw the pot on the stove on low and let it come up slowly, and keep it runny so it...

Yeah...got a baby in the house and haven't brewed since Nov. Gotta take advantage of whatever time I can make. Thanks!

I'm brewing a KY Common in a few days and my recipe uses a few pounds of corn grits that are cereal mashed separately before being added to the main mash for the rest of the process. I'm planning on doing three different AG brews on Tuesday and I don't feel like spending a bunch of that time...

I guess it depends on the lawyer, but it's likely that a business that size retains their own legal counsel or even employs them directly so the marginal cost to draft a letter probably wouldn't be that great.

Just keep in mind that whatever you ask for,, if they really want it, they're going to bounce that estimated cost against the cost to pay a lawyer for an hour or two to draft a trademark infringement letter to get Twitter to hand it to them. Asking them for a multi-thousand dollar vacation...

Yeah, HopHeavy's bro is brewing it for us.

I wouldn't say "ignore", as each style definition has a section that discusses the historical origins of the style. That's sort of the opposite of "ignore".

in.

If you really want to get into the weeds with technical references and style definitions, there's always the BJCP Syle Guidelines. https://bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf

If you're interested in learning about global styles of beer and brewing and the history behind them, Michael Jackson's New World Guide to Beer is a great resource. It's more about local style and history than the actual brewing process of specific styles.

The company I work for here manufactures hydrogen fuel cells, converting LNG to electricity. There are a lot of smaller precision manufacturing and associated special process places here in town and throughout Connecticut, supporting a huge aerospace industry throughout the state - Pratt &...

If I had one, a hot PBW soak and a starsan washdown would be good enough for me.

I like where this is headed. :D

How did this turn out for you guys, @FireEmt37 and @csurowiec ? What exactly were you given, and what did you do with it?
