I know its been said above already but tasting with other people and sharing what you are tasting with other people helps a great deal to help you understand what you are tasting. I also found it very helpful to read reviews of different beers (like the commercial calibration in zymurgy...

Just out of curiosity, what is "inverted sugar"? And by that I mean what is the process or what do they do to it that makes it inverted? Also do you know what flavors candi syrup will impart?

Your right on, thanks for clearing that up. you would think they would fix that with a redirect (or whatever you call it) that would send you to the site that actually works!

That worked. Ya its a pretty crappy design. Thanks for the link! Im using Google Chrome right now, but I wanna say that Ive tried safari and firefox as well with out much success.

how come every time I go that site and try to order hops I cant see any of their products and basically get an error message?

Didn't know about the flood, that's a bummer! Seems like there is something affecting their yields all the time. I forget what exactly it was last time, heat or drought or something? Hopefully there will still be enough to go around and the price doesn't get jacked up!

and looks like i spelled it right to me lol

... and this why I know you have no idea what your talking about lol that being said, if anyone else wants to continue this convo go for it. Im not here to give a biology lesson to uninformed people so Im done.

"...a product is regulated as genetically modified if it carries some trait not previously found in the species whether it was generated using traditional breeding methods (e.g selective breeding, cell fusion, mutation breeding) or genetic engineering." Straight from the FDA dude

Thanks for the advice. I already made the beer and ended up adding 1/2 lb to the last 15 minutes of the boil and 1/2lb to the primary after toasting and roasting them, so I'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Thanks for the info all! I was a little quick on the draw so it was too late to add them to the mash, but I toasted them and let them sit on a paper bag, them roasted them and let them cool. I tossed 1/2 a pound into the last 15 minutes of the boil, and a 1/2 pound into the primary. After...

I am making a beer with pecans and wanted to see if anyone out there had any experience using nuts in making beer? Do you toast or roast then before you use them? Do you put them into the boil or primary or secondary?

Any advice on adding nuts to a beer? In the boil or secondary? Should I roast them first? I'm thinking pecans here

Did you put the pecans into the boil or into the fermenter? Im not sure which will get the flavor out better? Any advice on dry pecaning?

Awesome thanks guys. Glad I finally have a clear cut answer. What is the BHT thing your talking about? I bought an organic pasteurized apple juice so i think I'm probably good

I am making a beer with apple juice but I can't get a straight answer on whether or not the juice needs to be boiled before I add it to the fermenter. If its pasteurized it's ok right? Should I put it in secondary before adding the juice?

I have been using the falconers flight in place of amarillo for the past year and have had excellent results. Swapped it on a couple of IPA's and an APA and neither of them missed the amarillo one bit.

No, just pitch on top.

Rye and black pepper together, should be real spicy. Let me know how it turns out!

I agree. I made a Stout that finished way too high, around 1.030 from a 1.075 OG. I said screw it and carbonated it up anyways and drank it, and it tastes great. In fact one of my cousins tasted it and said it was the best stout hes ever had. Its definitely not the best stout I have ever had...
