    Decoction in Zanaisheff's "Brewing Classic Styles"

    I'm interested in making the bock recipe and one thing I've noticed, and more so after thumbing through all the recipes, is that styles that traditionally include decoction mashing don't mention it, BUT looking at the ingredients seem formulated to be brewed WITHOUT a decoction. Example being...

    Looking for the SRM necklace to buy?

    This is sort of related to homebrewing. I'm trying to find a place to buy those necklace things that I've seen judges wear that show the SRM range. They're probably about 3-4 feet around, make of something like nylon and are flat, and I think you can hook up your keys to them. The usual...

    Adding valine to wort to reduce diacetyl production

    Has anybody tried this before? In theory, adding valine should feedback inhibit both the transcription of the operon for the branched chain amino acid genes as well as some of the biosynthetic proteins. This would reduce the yeast's need for valine which would reduce acetolactate production...

    I have Life and Limb 2011.

    If anybody wants to trade for a bottle, let me know what you've got. I'm particularly interested in beers that are only once a year for a single shipment and available in a small quantity. Aged (3+ years) barleywine is also nice. And I've said this before, but I have every beer in the St...

    Brewing with Ergosterol and Safflower Oil

    I've got some ergosterol and high oleic safflower oil. I'll be making a few brews with them with no aeration, record the OG/FG, sensory evaluation, concentrations of both compounds, etc. I chose high oleic safflower oil because it's lower in saturated fat than olive oil. For those who...

    AB-InBev fights to prevent HB602 from becoming law

    HB602 is a bill which lets small, up and coming breweries let people take home beer from the brewery. A brewery qualifies for this if they produce less than 75,000 barrels a year. Obviously, AB-InBev doesn't meet this requirement...

    Heaping praise on the bottling tree

    I got one of these things and used it for the first time this week. oh, how bottling has become so much easier now. Being able to sanitize all 50 bottles and then have then hang upside down and drip into the pan at the base of the tree is awesome! So, I salute you, Mr. beer bottle tree holder...

    Wyeast 2633 and WLP 833, Super Faster Fermentors???

    Anybody who's used these guys before, are they really quick fermentors? I made an oktoberfest (1.065 og) last Sunday using both of them and while I've yet to take a gravity reading, as of today we're down to a bubble about every 10-15 seconds. I made a fermentation chamber out of a 75qt...

    Swap for my St. Arnold Divine #1?

    I have some Divine #1 and if anybody has some hard to find or vintage beers, I'd be interested in a swap. This is beer quite good, imo, and has done well with 6 years of age. Notes include (in no particular order): chocolate, rich but balanced caramel, dark fruit, toffee, very malty, hops...

    Difference Between Igloo 60qt and 70qt Coolers for a Lager?

    I've heard that the only difference between the two is the lid. I'm interested in rigging up a cooler to lager with my 6.5 gallon glass carboy. However, based on a picture from Yooper's gallery...

    Can a Sparkling Wine Get Oxidized While Corked?

    I'm curious about this because I can understand that a still wine could, over time and depending on the grade of cork used, oxidize due to the air exchange. However, a sparkling wine would very slowly push air out of the bottle through the cork, thus before it could begin to oxidize it would...

    Synthetic Corks in Belgian Bottles???

    Anybody had any luck finding the right size synthetic cork (25.5mm diameter) for Belgian bottles? Or can synthetic #9 size (22.5mm) be used in a Belgian bottle because of cork density differences? I'm actually not sure what size synthetic cork would be needed for a Belgian bottle, which...

    What Are Some Bubblegum Yeast?

    Yes, some consider it a flaw, but I really like a bubblegum flavor in my dark strongs and quads, such as harpoon leviathan quadrupel. What are some good yeasts that really accentuate that bubblegum flavor and aroma?
