has anyone added it to increase head retention?

I think a lot of brewers are also builders of things. I know when you've built a thing, whether a bathroom in your house, a trellis for your tomatoes, a ceiling structure for holding wood, etc. You're proud and want to show it off, and maybe share with others who might benefit. So here's my...

I do pressure fermentation. However, for IPAs, I do open the fermentor and drop the hops in. Thus, I'd like to somehow purge the introduced O2. I know there's all sorts of methods and apparatus for this, but I have just been adding sugar and letting nature (yeast) do it for me. The question...

I had no idea this was a thing. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/whiskey-fungus-is-dividing-a-maine-resort-townand-rankling-alcohol-giants-6ee56315?st=sXyxDT&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I did not know of this guy. But he was the originator of digital communities, very similar to HBT. I spent a lot of time on them! Also, created the xmodem xfer protocol, which I remember using a lot...

I'm reading a book (Artemis) and the main character just sat down in a little moon pub for a beer. It's a colony of several "bubbles" connected by tubeways. "He then poured a glass of my favorite reconstituted German beer." Which of course got me thinking, why "reconstituted"? Does that...

Man he was subtle funny. Anyone remember his show? The ending. One of the best finales ever. I had a dream LOL.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems that the ruling here asserts that the 1868 ban on home distilling violated the constitution. If that's supported by federal courts, I don't see how individual states can continue to make it illegal...

Anyone into this decorating/lifestyle theme? Looking for ideas. My wife is SO NOT down with it, but it is my thing, so decorating my home office this way.

Salami. This time I'm using T-SPX for the acidification culture. I'm looking for less "twang" in the final flavor. These sat in a warm area for 2 days until pH got to 4.9. These casings are called "Budello Gentile", which loosely translated means hog butthole (that's a joke). It's the last...

I've had a bunch of pepper beers over the years. Beers infused with hot peppers, jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, etc. I haven't seen any comment on them in this forum in a long time. And I've grown all sorts of hot peppers. And I've never made a pepper beer. That's gonna change this weekend. I...

So, it's been my mind a lot lately. Seems to be a fun topic for mainstream media. I'm trying to get my mind around it. What is it?: software running on computers that takes input and gives answers. Why is it in the news? big names in tech keep talking about it (Musk, Zuckerberg). Is...

She's 247 yrs old. Oldest democracy in the world. Happy birthday baby!

I love this cheese. Hoping for success. We'll see. Almost warm phase time, where it develops the holes (like swiss). I have a new curd spoon. I like it. Gets into the corners of my pot better than its predecessor.

I've made a LOT of beer with this system. Some of it was even drinkable. Some of this stuff is heavy, and some of it is HEAVY. Don't want to ship or sell anything individually, but if I don't find a buyer in the next month, I might change my thinking. I'm also gonna list this online...

I've got a garden with tons of jalapenos. I let some of them go red, then smoke them. Smoked red jalepeno = chipotle. Next stop, chipotle hot sauce. Watch this space.

My favorite sausage! I buy fresh casings from a local italian deli, and they shorted me, so I only made about 8# actually and putt the rest of the ground pork mix into the freezer. Next week I'm making a batch of my famous brats. I add frozen irish butter into the pork mix and grid it into...
