I started brewing beer in my college dorm room (Room 3) when I was 20. Had a 2 year absence from brewing (graduated, new wife/jobs/house), but now I'm back!
Other hobbies: writing code and smoking various meats.

How much does heat affect beer? The beer in question is a Hefeweizen, which probably makes matters worse since they are a "drink fresh" beer. |

Planning a trip, which breweries should I go to? The criteria for questions on the site is "for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts". I would say that wanting to tour a good microbrewery and learn their process is an enthusiast-type question. If it is indeed off topic the FAQ should be updated to reflect that and give a better definition of what can and can't be asked...I think I hear a new meta topic being born. |

Planning a trip, which breweries should I go to? Great question, I'm going to OBX in 2 weeks and am wondering the same thing. |

Is an immersion chiller really necessary? Also, as your wort approaches your heat exchange's temperature (chiller, ice bath, etc.) it cools slower and slower because heat transfer is proportional to the temperature difference. |

Is an immersion chiller really necessary? How long does it take your ice bath to get it down to 65? That's the big question I have. My immersion chiller can get my wort to 80 in 5 to 10 minutes, it's getting it down that last 15 degrees to 65 that takes the bulk of the time. |

What's a good “running” beer? Yeah, they've been making this for almost 100 years in Bavaria for bikers in the Alps, they call it a Radler. They usually mix it with a lager though, and sometimes they'll use lemon-lime soda instead of lemonade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radler |

DIY Racking cane / Auto-siphon @Jerry - You start the siphon by filling the tubing with water or sanitizer, then put one end in your beer and let the water/sanitizer out into a sink/waste pail, then let your beer into whatever you want. If you feel like living on the edge, you can rinse your mouth with vodka or mouthwash, then suck beer through the tube until siphoning begins. I've never used a pump. |

DIY Racking cane / Auto-siphon I agree, using copper or stainless pipe/tubing would be the best option. |

Is it possible to make a beer worthy of a competition with malt extract? Not the same question as yours, but some of the answers address the same issue: homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/2211/… |
