Check my recipes. I like the honey porter in my drop down.

No clue what's going on here, but I do know that it isn't "General Beer Discussion."

He might have, but he was banned for being underage.

No. Not here. Ever.

Disagree. A hydrometer isn't necessary. It's nice to have, but lacking one wouldn't ruin my brew day. It doesn't make beer. I don't use oxygen anymore. I let the wort drop into the fermenter from some distance and sort of self-aerate. Then I pitch LOTS of healthy yeast. I found no...

For chain BBQ in Dallas, Sonny Bryan's over Rudy's any day. I'd rather find a local dive, though, and I'm not local, so I can't help you there.

I guess so! You prompted me to search, and I found a few iterations of my pumpkin ale.

Not any higher than if you primed with it...

Please don't double post.

Sample it. If that's the flavor you want, keg it. If not, age it.

I already addressed this in my post. This is certainly an example of what a computer can do, but it does not demonstrate usefulness. I can already easily accomplish that exercise using common sense. Teaching my computer to do it for me might be "neat-o" in an academic sense, but I fail to see...

Example(s)? When I first read about your concept, I got the idea that an ontology was a human readable quantification of vague concepts. That would be VERY interesting. Now I think I understand that an ontology is a complicated word for what appears to be a database-type structure. "Reading"...

The more I think I understand the scope of the project, the less interested I become. Is there a need for my computer to "understand" beer? Your example relating Alts, Weissbiers, and IPAs is silly to me. Since we all have the cognitive ability to innately understand that relationship, why...

Since you seem intent on having the last word, and we've already garbaged up the thread with this nonsense, here you go: Called the rest of the posters "light weights" is the sort of pissing match-type comment to which I was referring. Suggesting that you can drink what would be considered an...

This is exactly the type of comment that is unwelcome. While you may THINK that drinking a 6 pack and climbing into a car is fine, it IS NOT. It doesn't much matter who you are. I'll buy that your perception of drunkenness may require more beer than others in order to feel its effects, but...

I use pressure as the control input for a couple of reasons: Pressure, not temperature is most likely to cause the system to fail. I mitigate risk by controlling the parameter that has the most potential to cause harm. My pressure sensor provides nearly instantaneous feedback as pressure...

You make a good point - the thread is intentionally placed in a non-technical forum. Here is what I will not abide, and what prompted my comment: pissing contests about holding one's liquor and/or suggesting that ANYONE should drive after consuming large quantities of alcohol. IGAF.

Do this. You just admitted that you're not even sure exactly what you're trying to quantify. Some examples of your work thus far would help us all to understand your venture.

I modified a Sanke keg to include a 5500W element and threaded fittings. There is a fill/drain valve near the bottom, and a 1/2" stainless fitting at the top where I installed a tee with a ball valve for steam, a 20 psi blow-off valve, and a small barb for pressure sensing via a small diameter...

This thread has taken an awful turn. If you want to discuss the science of blood alcohol content vs the perception of drunkenness in a civil manner (without the "you can't hold your liquor" rhetoric), please start another thread. Do not continue to hijack this thread. BACK ON TOPIC: A 2-3%...
