    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    I did a history of beer as a commodity essay (15+ pages) for a 400 level college course on history and commodities. On wheat ales still being made during that time in the greater Germanic region, it was only noble breweries that were allowed to make whatever they wanted. The Reinheitsgebot only...

    Need SMaSH ipa recipe help

    If you really want to do a smash ipa, just stick with the idea of a smash. If you want to mess around with grains or hops then look around for a recipe that focuses on amirillo for hops additions. The idea of smash it to get to know all of the flavors and aromas just that hop and grain provided...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Just read everything, tangents included. Every few years I would travel to Sioux City, IA for at least a week in the Summer to stay with relatives (both sides of the family). Last time I went was the first time I was 21 and we went out West to Yankton for a overnight fishing trip. That night my...

    Bottle conditioning temp Q

    High temps are more likely to affect the hops than cause off flavors from the yeasts. 80 is what I would consider the upper limit for a bottle conditioning temp, but not totally unheard of. Are you positive the closet when closed and left alone can get to that temperature?

    Easy Stovetop All-Grain Brewing (with pics)

    I would say it leads me strongly in the right direction. Since I plan on doing 3 gallon batches, I figured I could just do 3/4 tsp. and have my bases covered. I think the people complaining about a protein layer above the trub were usually lacking irish moss, so I figured it would settle out...

    Easy Stovetop All-Grain Brewing (with pics)

    I just read all the pages in about a week, bored a lot. I plan on doing some 3G SMaSH's with that. Quick question though for those that use irish moss, does the recommended amount coagulate the extra proteins that the mash doesn't filter? I know it should settle all the proteins from the...

    Ale Pale Spigot

    I don't even use a piece of racking cane, just a 90* elbow of PVC screwed on. I get all but at most a bottle.

    How Should I Prepare New Bottles For First Brew?

    I soak all my bottles in PBW for at least a half hour (used ones are longer) and then use a vinator right before bottling.
