    Scotch/scottish brewing advice.

    I'm planning a parti-gyle brew and am going for a wee heavy, export, and light ales. Here's the grain bill: British Pale 36 pounds Carapils 1 pound Crystal 1 pound Roast Barley 1 pound Choc. Malt 1 pound Black Patent 1 pound East...

    Messing with SWMBO

    You could get one of these: Magellan XHR Scanning Electron Microscope. It has a resolution of down to 1nm. If it won't show up on that, then there isn't anything there.

    Switch to stainless fermenters inexpensively

    I broke my 2nd 6.5 gal. glass fermenter in less than a year (after 20 + years with no breakage). So, I want to switch to stainless. I typically do parti-gyle and make three 5-gal batches. I had three 6.5 gal glass carboys I was using as fermenters. I keg in 5-gal kegs. A simple switch...

    Any good ideas on what to do with steeped grain?

    Some people make bread. I have a neighbor who has chickens. He gets grain, I get eggs.

    Sorry, I should have searched a bit more. My apologies.

    Revvy, It was someone else I think. Have you seen the new "Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome". 10 minute episodes for the truly ADHD among us:

    Soda carbonation and the wife.

    Yes, you are very wise. That's mainly why I brought it up here. Gotta talk about it, but NOT with her :-)

    OG reading is now .998, what is going on?!?!

    The procedure just sounds like a recipe for wild yeast or bacteria. No boil at all? I'd definitely bottle it though--brewing was done with wild yeast for thousands of years before germ theory.

    How do I avoid over-carbonating my beer?

    You are reading it correctly. I can never wait either, so I use a mix of set and forget and force carbonation. I cool the beer down in the fridge over night. Then I attach the gas and dial the pressure up to 30 psi, lay the keg on its side and rock it back and forth with my foot until I can't...

    Why is my wort darkening?

    In that case, I'm going to agree with Yooper. Maillard reactons.

    Soda carbonation and the wife.

    Or I could make my own soda, and that would argue for a soda/beer/seltzer tower in the kitchen.

    Soda carbonation and the wife.

    My wife has this habit that irritates me. When she pours soda from a 2L bottle, she crushes the sides before putting the cap back on. I think that this makes the soda go flat quicker. Am I wrong? My reasoning is that, if the sides are crushed, the CO2 can come out of solution and never...

    Bugs in fermenter?

    Was it a mercury thermometer? Or do you mean the pellets that are added to weight a floating one? Either way, that's probably a bigger health worry than a few cockroaches. I might do cockroaches, but I'd never do mercury or lead. I am pretty sure that alcohol increases the absorption of...
