Jun 21	comment	What makes an addition good for a basic wheat beer? Your question title sounds way more vague and subjective than your actual question. You may want to re-phrase with something like, "What additives compliment a wheat beer?" You want to state what you're looking for. How long you've brewed, and the obvious fact you're looking for suggestions, can be details in the body.

Jun 13	comment	Does keeping a beer cold significantly preserve fresh hop aroma? I like your answer, and I haven't had the discipline to keep enough of my IPA around to test this time. Maybe next time (unlikely as IPA's are delicious)

Jun 9	comment	How many times can I re-use oak cubes? brewchez I'm confused, I thought tannins are exactly what you wanted extracted from the oak.

May 22	comment	Is a taste-test at bottling time indicative of the end result? Completely agree with Denny. I would recommend tasting every batch at bottling time, and not trying to come to any conclusions at all until you've brewed quite a few and know what to expect.

May 21	comment	When adding grain to mash tun for second runnings, how long should I let the new grain mash? Just brewed it, and did a double batch sparge. Color was definitely stronger in the second sparge (of the "second" runnings). I also waited 15 minutes after adding water before draining. So far, it's looking like a good method to me. I think Denny is right though, I think I could get away without it, but seems like the color is benefiting, if nothing else.
May 21	comment	When adding grain to mash tun for second runnings, how long should I let the new grain mash? I definitely appreciate the input. As it turns out, my stout recipe has been brewed three times, and I love it. You're absolutely correct, and a full pound of black is alot. This is based off Papazian's Silver Dollar porter. I should call it porter, but that gets into a different type of argument.

May 16	comment	How do you come up with a recipe to use for “Second Runnings”? Also, beware, there are quite a few mistakes in those tables. I'm assuming that the general trend is correct.

May 10	comment	IPA recipe left very sweet, little bitterness or aroma Good catch on the DME vs liquid. Jarrod, if you're new and haven't already purchased a hydrometer, I can't encourage you enough to get one. I spent too many brews without one, and when things go well, you can get away with it, but when they don't, you MUST have one to begin diagnosing problems.

May 10	comment	Recommendations for scaling up operations Also, please don't forget that high-gravity wort can be delicious without diluting as well.
