Looks like I will be getting a microscope. I wish I knew what to look for but like all things I will just learn as I go.

So, when looking at the yeast, you can then go and change things like nutrients? Would this help you in anyway in brewing or just to check you yeast bank samples?

I dont think ethyl acetate disappears, i would dump it. I just know what it smells like from distilling, and i would never want to drink that. If you fermented too hot you produced a little bit of of it as well as some methanol.

Hey zac My Family is planning a trip to your neck of the woods, and i was wondering where you would recommend to go check out? I haven't looked into it very much but was wondering what your recommendation would be? spend more time around Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley and Cusco than Lima?

Did the honey carryover much?

I don't know if anyone has sugested this yet, but why don't you look for some diffrent sized pullies and set it up that way. I made my last drill smoke running it at low rpm. So had to get a new one and it has two gears so no need to gear it down anymore. You will just bust up your husks more at...

Wonder if anyones done something like this before, and what the result is. BTW i am so sick of gass

I tryed that but it was like holding onto a fire hose and the kettle was still below boiling. Who knows I probly could have hung onto that thing for a wile longer but I was getting tired. I think it will still be good. Way more hop aroma and flavor than bitterness.

Well just got done brewing this batch. I used all MO and some Honey malt. The Mash went excellent! I got very clear wort, and 84% efficiency going into the fermenter. However the boil went not so well. Right after i hit a boil i ran out of gas! I knew this would happen today and figured that i...

Great. Ive got some MO, i am thinking i might add the honey malt to that and thats it. Keep it simple. I am going to brew in a day or two, i will let u know what i do and how it goes.

Sorry but i did not want to read through the 81 pages to try to find the sulfite to chlorate ratio. any suggestions on this?

I like the lemon zest idea, but not sure how much for 5 gallons, last time i threw whole lemons in my beer it sucked tasted like you were taking a bite out to the skin. First i squeezed them and then i figured what the hell and tossed the whole things in. Ive gotten smarter about things like...

Looks good, I will try it out this weekend. What if i substituted Willamette for centennial? Has anyone Used Rice and do you have to boil it? any thoughts on using rice?

I am looking for a Beer for the wife. She likes them light, and also with some honey. Hear are my thoughts on what to add Northern Brewer Minimal Carmel 40 and some Honey Malt, or should i just stick with Pure honey in the carboy? Notingham yeast Anyone have a good lawnmower beer...

Ok i got my Computer back online, got Firefox and everything is perfect except one thing. When i run my process, which is 4 states long, it will not switch between states. I have exit conditions programed for each state to move to the next, but when i run it and it completed the first state it...

I would get a Pulse Width Modulator so you can adjust your boil, and use an SSR to control the element. But then you would have to go and buy a bunch of stuff. It might be possible to get a lower wattage and run it full, but then it would take for ever to heat up. Just my 2 cents.

Well i will try to download fire fox as soon as i fix my computers internet connection. would you happen to know how to do that? Once i connected my bcs i am no longer able to get online with my comp. Tested it today at 3 second refresh, and it works fine with almost everything until i try to...

Just got a BCS and The thing is awesome! I made some states, and when i went to run it, The PID temp was 0. I set the temp to 156, and hit apply, but it still wont set. Anyone have this problem? Also i use Chrome for my browser, and once i start a process it gets all crazy. I set my refresh...
