I have been brewing since 2009, with every attempt to expand and improve since. Also helped found a Milwaukee, WI based brew club, Brewathon, in 2011.

Always Brewing.

Aug 15	comment	When is the most critical time to control fermentation temperature? I would love to see this 'swamp chiller' rig you speak of...I vote SWAMP CHILLER :)
Aug 14	answered	Ways to better utilize hops with a coffeepress?
Aug 13	comment	Possible to intensify/increase the amount of yeast flavor? @DennyConn Ya, the recipe was the same as my previous hefe. One thing I question if it made a difference, was I scraped the yeast cake off after 24 hours, so that it could form again. I wonder if the yeast cake is left alone, that it almost acts like a sealed barrier between the active yeast under neath and the air above. In the Brewing TV episode, they actually do this 2-3 separate times, along with mild agitation.

Aug 9	comment	harmful mold growing in fermentation freezer? Seriously...just clean out your freezer. No need to over think this and get all analytical.

Aug 8	comment	What solution of hard alcohol is sufficient to sanitize and infuse something for addition to a fermenting beer? I would do this before adding booze...like @DavidPGB stated, making a "tea" works well.

Aug 7	comment	What solution of hard alcohol is sufficient to sanitize and infuse something for addition to a fermenting beer? +1 I also agree with not sanitizing, and have never had a problem myself.
Aug 3	comment	When should I add apricot puree to a Belgian beer? The general consensus is to add in secondary, and you may want to review this post: homebrew.stackexchange.com/q/490/2518. That should give you details you need.
Aug 3	comment	Freezer-pack-based cooling +1 I would recommend the same. And definitely submerge the fermentor as much as possible.

Jul 31	comment	Carbonated in carboy from primary fermentation? @mdma I understand very mild carbonation often occurs in fermentation, but I meant specifically the act of the beer foaming and over flowing from the addition of sugar.
Jul 31	comment	Carbonated in carboy from primary fermentation? You make it sound like this type of behavior is common place and completely logical...I have never had anything like this happen to me before, nor heard of this type of thing happening. Is this something that frequently happens to you?
Jul 31	comment	Carbonated in carboy from primary fermentation? Not to beat a dead horse, but I am with Henry and Tobias on this one. If the true FG was 1.002, I'm pretty sure your beer would not taste very good at all. And since you said it does taste OK, I would probably just throw that reading out.
