    Wild Edibles

    A friend of mine dropped off some leeks last night and some fiddleheads the other day. Yum. @jmartie13 we live in a great state for so many awesome things! Congrats on the bird!

    Where to buy a laptop cooling fan?

    They are usually pretty specialized. You will have to go with something OEM. What is wrong with this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-15-f162dx-Genuine-CPU-Cooler-Cooling-Fan-w-Heatsink-743616-001-736278-001-/222386498275?hash=item33c744aae3:g:LW8AAOSwnHZYhczm

    Guess the Pet Name

    Well, if you came up with the guess initially without the search, I think you are good.

    Reuse growler caps?

    I bought some of the poly seal caps as well and really like them. But I also reuse the standard metal ones until I do not like how they look. For me, it is really what I have kicking around when I go to fill and bring my beer somewhere for a weekend or something. the poly seal caps keep...

    Dry-hopped wheat

    Not sure if this helps but I brew variations of NEIPAs that are pretty much a super hoppy American Wheat. IE> about 50% flaked wheat. I like the fruity and citrus stuff like citra, comet, centennial, mosaic, etc. I think a blend of cascade and centennial would probably do well.

    Force carbonation - changing the temp half way through the process

    I am interested in the result!

    Force carbonation - changing the temp half way through the process

    One more thing to note, if you have significant head-space (key word significant) and you set the pressure at a warm temp, you will end up with a little higher level of carbonation after cooling and letting things equalize than when there is very little head-space. This is simply because you can...

    Force carbonation - changing the temp half way through the process

    Once the carb level is correct, if the CO2 is disconnected and then the keg warms, the total CO2 in the keg will remain the same. Some will come out of solution to increase the pressure of the head-space to equilibrium at that temperature. (DO NOT PURGE THAT PRESSURE). If there is very little...

    Best NEIPA hop combos

    I am a big Citra fan and have done straight Citra before and is never disappointing. But I usually do multi-variety additions. Gives a little more complexity. Equal parts Citra/Centennial/Comet is very good. Or equal parts just Citra/Centennial. I haven't tried it in anything yet, but will be...

    Plan for juicy NEIPA came out dry and dank...why?

    Mine usually are a little harsh and dry after I first keg and carb but mellow out very nicely within a few days to a week. I never trust my first glass. However, I also agree with others on the the hop front. I have never used Galaxy but I use Columbus all the time. I have been reserving it...

    Herms nightmare

    Ouch! My solution to a stuck mash like that before figuring out the best way to run mine was to pump water back through the false bottom to clear any blockages. It sucks because it dilutes the mash, but it at least kept me from wasting the whole thing. Just an idea for any future issues...

    White Wheat Malt as base malt and low efficiency

    I use large quantities of flaked white wheat (50 to 60%) all the time. And even malted wheat still needs help. Rice hulls and either a decoction or step mash is necessary. I do a 20 minute rest at about 125 to 130 before stepping to my desired temp and my conversion has been great. If you're...
