When using a high fat content adjunct in a brew process, is there a way you could assist the beer in head retention? Lets say as an example you are using a crushed coffee bean with a high surface content. The fatty acids from the bean are notorious for killing head retention. How can you negate this?
Might want to throw in some rendered bacon fat into a coffee stout in the near future, this could be good advice.
 
Any lawyers out there know anything about wrongful firing cases in OK?

Not a lawyer and no longer living in OK, but IIRC "wrongful discharge" there only really applies if terminated 1) because of one's protected class, 2) in violation of an employment contract (or even and implied contract in OK), 3) because of exercising one's rights or refusal to commit an illegal act, etc (public policy exception). Otherwise, OK is a fairly strong at-will state.
 
Morning.

Wheat or Carapils/Dextrine malt addition?

Basically my mom got wrongfully accused of doing something that made it to where her bosses "weren't going to put her on the schedule anymore." They claimed they had phone records and video evidence. Now, nearly a week later, the person who actually took the call has come clean, and essentially only received a slap on the wrist. Turns out that it didn't even happen during my mom's shift. Wishing I was in Tulsa right now, to put it that way.

Damn. That blows.

Don't know about case history in OK, but here there's been cases here where employers fired someone over bad information, and courts upheld it because they were found to have acted reasonably based on what they believed to be the facts at the time.

Though the actual perpetrator only receiving a slap on the wrist does present an interesting angle. Was this person perhaps a man? Or a much younger woman? Firing your mother over an infraction and someone else receiving a much lesser punishment for the exact same infraction can be grounds for a discrimination suit if the two are of different classes.

*only an armchair lawyer, but wears an HR hat, so take with a grain of salt

My mom's only a part-time employee (it's a second job, go America!), the other was a much younger, female, full-time employee. The executive director is apparently a major bitch, and just came in and started changing things for no apparent reason. One of them being, basically, an attempt to get rid of the part-time employees who have other full-time jobs by making it to where the evening shift on weekdays would start 2 hours earlier.

I know nothing about civil lawsuits, or any kind of lawsuits really (thank God?), would this even be something worth fighting for?

She talked to a friend that had something kinda similar happen in the past. That friend took another friend with her to "confront" the situation. She didn't say the friend was a lawyer, but she didn't say it was just a friend either. That lady ended up getting a compensation/settlement from them. Is that worth a shot?
