http://news.sciencemag.org/chemistry/2014/12/no-more-foamy-beer-thanks-magnets "Few sights at a bar are more deflating than a bottle of beer overflowing with foam. This overfoaming, called gushing, arises when fungi infect the barley grains in beer’s malt base. The microorganisms latch onto...

I thought you shouldn't aerate while wort is hot or even warm (anything greater than 80* F). I believe this is call HSA (Hot Side Aeration). I think it makes the oxygen bond with compounds that will later oxidize producing off flavors. I whirlpool while the chiller is in but w/o bubbles...

I wrote this down for my own reference for my next brew but I thought it was worth sharing. 14 Things I Learned from first All grain (Step Mash) 1. Don’t run Little Giant PUMP Dry! Open valves even if pump is not turned on so water can prime. 2. Take out liquid yeast (white lab)...

Put me in please :)

Can you explain a few things? Never made a barley wine and this no sparging thing is confusing me. 1. Let's say I want to make the ESB. So I take out all the extract by squeezing it out the best I can to make the Barleywine. Then I add 1 lb of the Crystal and let sit for 10 mins with all...

http://phys.org/news/2012-05-irish-mathematicians-guinness-video.html (Phys.org) -- Why do the bubbles in a glass of stout beer such as Guinness sink while the beer is settling, even though the bubbles are lighter than the surrounding liquid? That’s been a puzzling question until now, as a...
