With the announcement of Yooper's Troll-Brewery Tour in mid September, I am asking about the interest level in having another Brewday at my place. It would be on a Saturday or Sunday, although events of this nature, with traveling across the state required, would make a Saturday date more...

I most definitely concur on SHORT'S, it is very highly regarded brewery. I have not been there, but have tried the beers at couple of fests. IIRC, xiang stopped in before the UP YOURS event. Right Brain is known for fresh hopping with products grown on the Mission Peninsula. An eclectic variety...

It's what I do. Horizontals tend to have cones.

The best way to learn the differences in the two grains is to chew each one for a while and then spit it out into a trash can. Standard 2 row or pale malt has a much 'narrower' taste, and as stated above, the MO gives a nuttier, and I like to use 'fuller' or 'broader' flavor. The difference is...

Be aware that the temp of the fermenting wort is going to be higher than the air temp around the sensor, and set your control somewhat lower to account for this. Measurement of the actual wort temp by stick-on thermometer strip or remote thermometer is helpful.

Do what you feel is right and rest assured in the comfort of knowing no matter what the hell the issue is, SOMEBODY will have a problem with it. And they'll most likely start a bunch of **** about, too.

google computer fans and you should be able to find a ball bearing fan that is very quiet for what radio shack will have. Newegg, tiger direct, etc.... The fan also will most likely run backwards if wired in reverse, so make sure to write on the case which way it NEEDS to run to make the...

First and Second Year Hops

First and Second Year Hops

Not to argue, but for the sake of reference: I've bought pounds of whole hops that varied by over 20% in bittering units from Hops Direct, from one year to the next, so if you are making an IPA, or even bigger beer with proportionally bigger AA, you can have vastly different results. Columbus...

You are really better off to use home hops as flavor/aroma only, because of the unknown bittering units. Every season and every location will produce different final results. Testing them on a home scale is out of the question. You could use them to bitter but if your estimation of the actual...

Of course you can. But like many fine herbs, heh, allowing them to dry and lightly age makes them a fair bit smoother. What can't wait a week or two?

People do it to sound funny, including me, but I was introduced to this as 'I'm erra.......' And what, 'gonna' is not a real word? Lotta word nazis here, so the fun is enhanced.
