California is notorious for declaring just about everything you might ever touch, breathe, eat or drink as dangerous.

Drew a FG sample from the Munich In Tents marzen in the fermenter. 1.015, so it's pretty much down to bottling strength, but I'm going to let it sit in the fermenter another week or two before banishing the bottles to the garage for a long winter's nap. Tastes malty up front with a clean...

Sampled my Another New Year American Pale ale one week after bottling. Slight carbonation, a bit sweet in the start and a touch hoppy in the finish. Needs another 2 weeks in the bottle.

You need another line on the glass that says "Wizard of Oz"

Soaked/scraped labels off of 24x12oz bottles that have been hibernating in the garage for just over a year or so... 48 more to go. It's good to have in-laws who will save bottles for you when you ask them to! Oh, and almost forgot -- exchanged a propane tank that died in the middle of my last...

Is that your fresh air source running down the middle?

Hey, it worked for AB... so I'm not going to judge.

Wow! This thread has already gone from A to Z in just two posts! That said, my son loves ginger beers, and the more ginger the better. This looks intriguing...

If you include time as a cost, then I think you've hit the nail on the head. In the beginning, it's good to make the process as simple and speedy as possible. As for me, I got a Mr Beer for Christmas one year, and it worked so well for me, I've never looked much past it other than adding...

I agree with you that any chiller where I don't have to worry about cleaning spots I can't physically access is better. The IC solves that problem, and being able to swish it around in the pot really speeds cooling time. My homebuilt copper IC takes about 10 minutes to go from 185 to 85.

Be sure to update this thread if you do.

Link to the MSDS... bottom line, I'd dump it to be safe.

Got my @inkbird infrared thermometer from Amazon. It's a good deal at $23, and it's an even better deal if you take the offered 27% discount by clicking the coupon and using the Inkbird discount code in the Sponsor forum. It's a hefty little brute, and I expect to get a long and happy life...

Let us know how it tastes...

Got mine today, and it's a solid piece of engineering. Hefty, well-made, with a great display and bright laser dot. Quick read, comes with a 9v battery and instruction sheet including an emissivity chart... well worth the price, even better at 15% off, even EVEN better at 27% off!!! Good job...

Short answer: yeast needs things that are in wort. Long answer: google yeast cannot live on sugar alone palmer

I wish I had. Apparently, the 2112 was tired, or stressed, or maybe partied out, 'cause they slept all night and didn't get cranking until mid-morning today. Still well within 24 hours, but not nearly as quickly as I had expected. The first pitch out of the bag started foaming about 5 hours...

How did it taste?

So you only have 2 ounces over about a minute of coriander steeping... I don't see how that will leave enough flavor to detect.
