****fart. That’s my entry. I’m not a doctor, but maybe you should see a doctor.

So, obviously they faked those testimonials on their site. Yeah, I'd avoid.

Pretty sure nobody has done much with them yet, and no surprise that there isn't any info about it out there. Looks like it has existed for less than two weeks.

Looking at the OP's pictures, it sure looks like his beer has foam, he's just not happy with how it's lacing on the glass. Go ahead and brew another batch trying to fix the problem and don't spend a few minutes properly cleaning the glassware though. We can revisit this in a few weeks.

Lacing is more about treating your glassware right. Instead of talking about your beer recipe, OP, let's talk about how you clean your glassware. Below is a quick read that may be helpful. https://www.kegworks.com/blog/beer-clean-glass/ Let us know how you clean your glasses (hand wash...

I suspect that you're correct. All sorts of conferences are being cancelled right now for the coming months. Registration just opened recently, and i'm sure the numbers are very low.

It's legal to win prizes in homebrew competitions. Seems like it would be perfectly legal to run a homebrew competition where the Best Of Show prize is an opportunity to work as a paid brewer (or brewing "consultant") for a day to brew your recipe at a commercial brewery. The batch brewed at...

When I kept a lid on mine, i ended up with a small amount of mold on the underside of the lid. So I stopped that. I do not have kids or pets at home though. That would change things.

Additional thoughts: I've been using the same bucket for at least 5 years. It seems to be fine. Mine is always cloudy, even when made fresh with my tap water. I don't worry about that. I once caught a mouse with my open bucket of starsan. That time I dumped it out and made a new batch...

I've been keeping it in an open top bucket for years now. I don't even cover it. I check the ph if it's been a while since i've used it and I need to sanitize something, but it seems to keep in it's effective ph range for a LONG time. I think it will all evaporate before the ph gets out of range.

I've not entered NHC, and in general, have not entered a lot of competitions, but I'd encourage you to enter some others, either in addition to, or instead of NHC. Most homebrew competitions provide you with good unbiased feedback on your beer and some opinions from a certified judge on how to...

Funny enough... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/anyone-doing-dry-january.673554/

Murder.

I wouldn't worry that much about "watering down" the beer. Remember, beer is mostly water already, you're adding many gallons of it to your mash. Simply account for the volume of water that is in the cold brew as "top off" water in your recipe. If you're very concerned about oxygen (which I...

I have not tried this, and don't have any thoughts on it, but I'm pretty interested to hear how it works out!

Doesn't matter what the recipe says. Those numbers are just guidelines. Yeast are living organisms that do not read or listen to instructions and do not have calendars. They will not magically stop when they hit the target FG or get to day 10. Give it a few more days and check again. It's...

Continuing the topic drift... there is no reason that a hydrometer needs to be glass at all, it could be stainless steel with precision etching. The key here is precision. As the plastic hydrometer demonstrates, a high degree of precision is required, and with that comes cost. Let’s say...

But then you don't get the fun of shelling and shredding coconuts! Slacker! Either way, toasting the coconut in the oven smelled amazing. Now I want to do a coconut beer again.

I did a 5g batch of 9% imperial stout with 18oz of shredded toasted coconut in the secondary. I bought coconuts and shelled, shredded and toasted them myself. I started with two coconuts (10oz), but after a couple weeks, the sample I took wasn't coconut enough for me, so I did two more. I got...
