Down with the Sickness

Whiskey River-Willie Nelson

It just amazed me at how fast the SG was dropping. Overall my Tripel went from 1.071 to 1.004 in nine days, with the bulk of fermentation happening in four including the six hour lag.

+5 Irish red +5 Sweet Stout +5 Belgian Tripel +5 Belgian Wit =985.5

Does the bandaid only come through on all grain or is it present in extract also? I have done several batches with my tap water and haven’t had any problems. Then again this is probably the lightest that I have gone so far. Mostly stouts.

I am fortunate enough to have very pleasant water. I know that it does play a part in the final product. But from what I understand, water chemistry is going to get a consistent beer from batch to batch and more closely adhere to stylistic guidelines. I also understand that I will affect the...

So I just started the boil on my first all grain brew. I am using a cooler system that was given to me used but was never actually used. It was more of a PITA to put together then anything. This is supposed to be a Belgian Wit. Did I screw it up or should I be pretty good? 5.75 Lbs 2 Row 3.3...

Quarantined Pale

I do send my wishes and prayers for you and your family. How about something like; InMortality Ale, since it’s probably going to come up a little light.

Like others have said try a few different styles. If you are a coffee or chocolate person I would suggest stouts. If you are a bourbon drinker I would suggest some of the bourbon stouts. If you have a brewery or beer shop around that brews onsite go spend a little time there and tell them what...

Cake and sodomy-Marilyn Manson

Foxy Lady-Jimmy Hendrix

I work with O2 tanks Dailey and they ride in our bumpy truck. Occasionally they will come loose and the head will be leaning on the wall bouncing down the road. They are safer then we give them credit for. Yes if struck on the head they can become missiles. The general rule is to store them...

Ready to go.

ROCK in the USA- John Mellencamp

I agree with your general point. I guess my concern would come with using soy as your primary. I know hops have a significant amount of estrogen, but with the amounts in beer I would think it becomes nearly negligible. Most of us do not handle large quantities at once for extended periods of time.

No. Just facts. But I did edit my post to provide some useful information.

Not sure about the conversion. But I would worry about the effects of soybeans on other health items. Soybeans contain estrogen (phytoestrogens) which has negative effects on men. ETA: I have heard of some brewers using Beano. The enzymes in there breakdown the starch.

Well if you send me your address I would be more then happy to come dispose of all your beer for you, and I won’t even charge you. I did have a similar experience when my appendix ruptured. Even though the lunch I had the day before the surgery had nothing to do with the appendix that ruptured...

They are all the same on the old batch. This new batch is amazing (personal opinion). There doesn’t seem to be any problem yet. But it’s only been bottled for 24 days. I didn’t start to see any “issue” with my old batch until several months of aging down the road. I am leaning towards just a...
