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.

Feb 8	comment	Propane v. Natural Gas Natural gas is pretty darn cheap, from what I've read about 5 times cheaper than propane. It's also supposed to be a little safer. Since it is lighter than air it can't pool up and ignite like propane can.

Jan 27	comment	Are bottle brushes necessary? Unfortunately, no, my city recycles everything EXCEPT glass. Fortunately, I rinse my bottles before I even drink the beer, so the last bottle I actually remember throwing away was a few years ago.

Jan 18	revised	Will there still be yeast leftover for second fermentation after filtration? Capitalized the first letter of each paragraph. Sorry, it was killing me.
Jan 18	comment	Will there still be yeast leftover for second fermentation after filtration? Yes, you can either do a secondary fermentation in a carboy, or just leave it in your primary for a few more weeks. After it's bottled and carbonated you can cold-crash it, which will get your beer nice and clear (this can take at least a few weeks after bottling).

Jan 12	comment	How to transport homebrew There are also many commercial beers that aren't pasteurized and filtered (Allagash) and are transported just as brewchez suggests. If you're worried about clouding the beer, just give it a day or two to settle out.
Jan 12	comment	How to brew less than 5 gallons at a time? You could also use a handful of 1 gallon glass cider jugs. I know a few people who do this for experimental brews. No reason you couldn't do 3 one gallons, then blend them on bottling day.
Jan 12	comment	Boiling bottle caps Agreed. I also think you don't need to be as paranoid about a cap infection, because even if it happened it will only affect a FEW beers, not ruin your entire batch. You don't boil your racking cane and siphoning tube do you? How about your bottling bucket?
