sorry questions like this bring out the geek in me. I thought, hmm.. better question, how much volume should a pound, or 10# of CO2 take up. Found this "How much volume does 1 kg of CO2 occupy at room temperature and standard pressure? CO2 has a molecular weight of 44 g/mol 1 kg CO2 = 1000...

Wow Threeway - lots of questions. Let's start by saying that there are a lot of ways of doing mead, it just changes how fast you get to product. The best advice for quicker product right now seems to be that you pitch your yeast and give it a stir to degas the CO2 every 12 hours until you...

I not sure you ever want to put a lid on for a boil, well I guess if you need to retain heat for the boil, but it traps in DMS when doing a grain batch. (Extract doesn't have a DMS problem, or much less of one). Yes it will look "ugly" it is more a matter of 'how soon do you want to brew' and...

At the time of prohibition (pre 1920's) it was common for most wage earners to get paid in cash and far tomany of the men (married or not) to go and drink it, leaving little for their wife's/families. This was a social ill that those favoring prohibbition were thinking they could cure. - it...

could you modify the basket and make it like a hop spider? - with some long bolts attached to the very top of the basket as a way of making it (the basket) catch?

OP - I don't know if you've made this or not yet. With steeping grains you want to stay around 155 and not get to 170. Tannins come out as the temp goes up. they generally aren't generated in the 155 range (although this is all bell curve country so...) But if you get up to 170, you will...

based on the difference it looks to me like there is a 5.5 v 5 gallon ferment issue. or maybe about 5.25. That is part of the equipment profile of beer smith

I'm in.

Agreed, a lack of context makes the problem impossible, as the number of solutions approaches infinity.

JFMA going to M next makes sense. Month initials and all - although in context (that there is none) it doesnt. Usually this woudl have been presented in a context of other pattern problems. not just things like 2, 4, 6, ? but also picture ones of triangle, square, regular pentagon, ...

On a primary? depends on what you are worried about I suppose. As far as 'how much co2' does this produce, one of these threads has it, but the math works out to a gravity of about 1.040 will produce 60 volumes of CO2 ... meaning if you have 1 gallon you will off gas about 60 gallons of co2...

I admit to reading the 1st page and skiping to the end, so I appologize if anyone else has mentioned this. Boil time can be reduced by using more heat - heat sticks. BUT if you want to reduce your brew time, you can do that with a heat stick and timer. I heard about one guy who fills his...

I'm in!

It is also implied that Clara found Galefrey.(sp?) The Doctor might not be able to get there, but she can. Even if it is locked away.

well the reverse thought is something like beer at store is about 9/6pk with about 8 to 9 6's per batch means it is $70 to $80 in store equivelents. With wine, "savings" are even higher. I put that in quotes because usually after congradulating ourselves on saving money on beer, someone...

My appoliges MonseterBrew.... I read alright as air tight... >facepalm<... clearly my parser was working poorly. I don't even have the excuse that I was drunk.

I personally wouldn't make it "air tight" so much as covered. I usually cover with a bit of aluminum foil. Making it air tight is asking for an explosive release when you agitate it. The rest of the advice on "intermetent" is good, every 12 hours as a minimum, more frequently if you can...

sorry duplicate post

Yes. It does depend on how the flow goes, but yes. I'm aware of one setup where there was catastrophic failure and the beer went up the airline and got the manifold gunked up with beer. If it had been infected beer, it would have infected the line. I think the guys just cleaned it cause it...
