It's Sunday and I just kegged a batch and found out that I am out of CO2. I can't purge the keg of oxygen until I get more CO2 which won't be until tomorrow. So I'll be purging it tomorrow night. Is that too long to wait? Will my beer get oxidized in 36 hours? I also need to check for a leak...

Plenty of outside stuff, mainly leaves and bugs. I've learned to cover the pot with a mesh. I did have a bird deposit a pellet once while I was sparging. Luckily it wasn't white and liquid and I was able to scoop it out with a slotted spoon. And yes, I did boil and not worry about it. Beer...

The question on my iPad was in different order than on my PC. On the PC the order in which the answers are listed is different, so maybe there was something wrong with the iPad version. It is correct on the PC. Weird.

Unit 5: is there something wrong with question number 7 on the self assessment quiz? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I use Firefox and everything worked fine. Did way better than the first quiz even though I think both the quiz and the material were harder. I took someone's advice here and really concentrated on the course outcomes. I also studied a lot harder than for the first unit. At least I'm not...

I believe that one of the TA's mentioned somewhere that only about 1,200 people took the first quiz. Still a lot of quizzes to look over though...

Did the real quiz feel like it was way harder than the self-assessment quiz? It certainly did to me. I got 11/12 right on the self-assessment, reviewed my notes again and thought I was good to go, then BAM! 7/12. I failed it! Lesson learned from here on out: get on the discussion boards...

Seals very well too.

I got one for X-mas and have used it twice. I love it. Easy to clean and it's glass. I did buy the hauler that's made for it to tote it around. Would be very hard to move without it.

So if papaya tastes like vomit to you, would a lambic also taste like vomit? Just asking because papaya tastes and smells like vomit to me, but not to other members of my family. I've never had a lambic and don't really want to try one if I'm going to get the same taste as a papaya. Do they...

I recently dumped a batch because of an infection. I suspected the bucket, cleaned it and sanitized it the best I could (didn't use Chlorine, only Star San) and brewed with it again. Dumped the next batch due to the same infection (very strong band-aid taste). Brewed again, but used a glass...

cool. Thanks.

Have domestic 2-row and Maris Otter. What should I use?

For our club we all brewed the same pale ale (i.e. we all used the same recipe as far as malts, temps, time, etc.) and then each person used only one type of hop. Everybody used the same amount at 30 min and at flame-out, we just adjusted the 60 min amount so that everyone ended up with the...

I use a son-of-fermentation chiller in Mobile, AL, but I don't use it outside. During the summer our house stays in the low to mid 80's during the day when no one is home. I can get about a 20-25 degree differential. Any more than that and it's hard. I recently brewed a lager and had to...

BTW, the Alabama Brew Off Competition reached its limit of 250 registered beers yesterday. So if you were thinking about entering (like me) and haven't done so yet (like me), you're out of luck!

Yes, I do believe that my oxygenation is lacking. All I did was made sure that I splashed a lot when transferring from boil pot to the fermenter. Also, the cell count wasn't as high as it could have been, but I have been brewing this way for a while and I'm usually only a couple of points off...

OK, thanks. I didn't think about changing the recipe in BeerSmith to match what actually happened. I just did that and it does bump up the final gravity to about 1.015, so I guess I'm not as far off as I thought. That makes me feel a little better. I'm going to transfer it to a secondary and...
