I don't see that having much effect. Trub is trub, cold crash it if you want to make sure the undesirable stuff stays on the bottom when you bottle.

Was about to start bottling...I've got everything laid out and set up. Then I realized, holy crap, I probably need to repitch. I've got two batches to bottle that I brewed back in October (4 months ago, 3+ months in secondary). One is an English Old Ale with an OG of 1.078 and the other is...

Mod please delete

I dropped thirty bucks on a twin sized electric blanket at Target, brought a couple of batches upstairs, agitated the bottles, and sacrificed some space behind the bar near a heat vent where I wrapped them up in the blanket. Not too bad. A temp probe in the middle of one of the boxes reads 72...

Between 2-4 weeks. I've tested only the batches that have been down there 3 and 4 weeks, but I'm assuming the batch at 2 weeks isn't going to be carbonating either. The 4 week batch is still completely flat, and with temps out side below 10 F, I know this process is just going to get slower...

Three flat batches...it's about 50 F on my basement floor right now, and they aren't carbonating. I've tried searching threads and the one recommendation I found was to put them in a tub of water with a submersible aquarium heater. Well that's gonna have to be a big tub of water with a very...

coalcracker...don't worry, OP here, and this thread also makes my brain feel inferior, even though I've been at the top of all of my physics, biology, chemistry, and organic classes. There's some smart cookies out there brewing beer. Thanks for the help, y'all. brownmt...you almost had it...

Woot. Okay everybody. Drinking a doppelsticke now. Just in case anybody out there is nostalgic for college and smarter than me, I've got a story problem for you. It's been fighting me and my homebrew buzz for a while now this morning. A steel rod (rho= 7860 kg/m3) has a length of 1.56 m. It...

Nice. It's not a birthday party if there's no puke. I remember hosting a 21st-party for a younger roommate and all of her similarly-aged friends. Yup, I was cleaning up puke... Utah's laws lay excessive culpability on your server/bartender. Your server stands to lose a lot if they don't...

Holy **** I brewed one delicious breakfast stout. There's not a beer in the world I'd rather have on this snow-covered December morning. Perfect earthy notes of Indonesian chocolate and coffee. I am not yet done with Organic...just had my last mid-semester exam this morning. Finals next week...

Thanks guys. I figured that if I posted about it on HBT, at least I'm not drinking aloneat 9:42 am. I just told my girlfriend and she just laughed at me, because she knows how hard I've been working. Breakfast Stout is coming up to temperature for when I'm done with this one...

Just finished on organic chemistry exam that bent me over and had its way with me. After days and days of nothing but work and study, I just popped one of my English Brown Porters and poured it into my brand new Duvel glass. Yay for breakfast beers. I'm gonna drink this and then start my...

So where's the trip report/review?

For anybody interested, I just got the lab results back with NONE DETECTED. Woohoo, I don't live in a methlab, seriously!

If you decide you do want to go to Desert Edge, you can ride Trax to 7th East and 4th South and then just walk a block and a half to Trolley Square. Emigration Amber is never on Nitro, but it is on the regular CO2 tap as well as the cask right now and always delicious (it's my favorite). Hop...

Marmont Mesa went out of business. Red rock and squatters are just around the corner from each other so you can hit up both if you want. I have reason to be biased, but I prefer squatters beer over red rock, though both brew some good beers. I just think red rock is more hit and miss, depending...

The 2002 Olympics brought about the first big alcohol revolution here as huge impetus was seen to lift restrictions and ordinances. I don't know too much about the details of that time as I was still underage (and actually out of the country serving a Mormon mission...*smirk*), but as an...

EvilTOJ...come on down to SLC. We'll show you a good time. We drove the Mormons out of SLC a long time ago, they're all in Provo now. Well, not really, but we do have good beer culture here in spite of the MINORITY of residents here who are faithful to Joseph Smith's religion. Don't make...

Utah doesn't have a single dry county, but we do have several very good brewpubs that kick major butt in the medals round at GABF and World Beer Cup year after year. In the Salt Lake Valley and Park City, anyway. I guess the rest of the state is rather lacking in fresh brewed craft beer. Or...
