    Star San and COVID-19?

    Reposted from a thread on Milk The Funk... COVID warning If anyone is considering using their brewing sanitiser as hand sanitiser, please be aware that at least some brewing sanitisers are ineffective against viruses. I've only looked at StarSan, which seems to be most like disinfectant III in...

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    My attempt...it is very much an iridescent beer more than either exactly blue or purple. Out of my tap it is pure blue coming out, but once the optical path is more than a couple inches, it is purple. It looks great in glassware that has varying widths. I used 75g of the whole dried butterfly...

    Amoretti craft purees

    The pineapple kolsch I made (and sadly all gone now) used both real pineapple and a puree from amoretti. Pineapple can be a tricky flavour to bring forward so I would recommend drawing off an uncarbonated sample first and blend to taste to figure out an amount to use. The ratio for 4oz in 5gal...

    Amoretti craft purees

    I have used over a dozen of their different flavors over the last few years. They do lots of different lines suitable for brewing (compounds, swirls, artisan, and the purees that you mentioned. You have to account for the sugar content if added at bottling time, or just add it after primary...

    Motorized Grain Mills: Time to show them off!

    157RPM 3 Roller Mill The old motor I had laying around the shop had a little air compressor attached to it...I don't have the tank anymore, but after a few seconds of pressure build up in the hose, it will release a descent puff of air.

    Help on Ester Production

    Thanks so much! Alcohol Acetate Transferase (AAT) was the answer. After a little research...AAT, is stimulated by strong yeast growth and is responsible for the acetate esters in beer. It sounds like different yeast strains will express AAT in differing amounts, such as in a hefeweizen yeast vs...

    Help on Ester Production

    Hoping someone can shed some light on factors affecting ester production. As I understand it...an ester is formed upon a reaction between an alcohol, a fatty acid, and acetyl coenzyme A. Esters are linked with lipid synthesis. During strong yeast growth, the acetyl CoA pool is being used up in...

    Two GF Recipes

    Brewing these two beers for a couple gluten free friends. Any tweaks recommended before I brew them up? I was also thinking of doing a shorter boil, any disadvantage to that besides hop utilization? This will be my first extract and first gluten free brew, so any help/tips are appreciated...

    Maple Imperial Russian Stout

    I have a birch sap Imperial Stout in the carboy which I used the sap partially in the mash and completely for the sparge water. I would have done a 100% sap mash, but with all the roasted grains and the low pH of the sap itself, the mash would have been just far too acidic. I also have a Maple...

    What study topic should I choose for a brewing certificate I'm applying for?

    Yep, passed it, got a credit as well, which is in the 80-89% range. I think there were maybe 4 or 5 diagram questions. Probably a diagram of a yeast cell forsure, so know that well. Some of the questions are posed as "select the two...." so it is not always a 1 in 5 odds of getting the...

    What study topic should I choose for a brewing certificate I'm applying for?

    We are given two hours to write the exam. I sped through it and was finished in around 40 minutes, but then spent another hour re-reading every question before I submitted. I felt like it was more than enough time to write. You will be moving on to some pretty boring chapters coming up...#10...
