Is there an online equivalent of Beer Smith? +1 for this one. Works great and development is very active. |

Holding a glass carboy by its neck Carrying (or even just using) glass carboys is a bad idea if you ask me. I've heard enough horror stories about severed tendons to stay away from glass for all my beers. |

My first brew tastes a bit like champage. Did I do something wrong? Unless the beer has been sitting on the yeast for several months, I think the danger of autolysis is negligible. |

Corny Real Ale? The mouthfeel of beer served through handpumps is usually quite different from pressure-served beer, especially if the pump has a creamer nozzle. Go very easy on the carbonation though, and you should be able to approximate it. |

Corny Real Ale? If you want to go all out, add a hand pump and a cask breather, they should be easy to connect to a corny. That's how on of the microbreweries here in Norway (Kinn Bryggeri) serves all its draft ales. The cask breather adds CO2 to the keg at ambient pressure and is a no-go for camra purists, for some archaic and pointless reason. |

Any good iPhone/iPad apps for brewing? BeerAlchemy for iPad has been out for a while ($9.99), and the iPhone version has gotten a lot cheaper at $4.99. I use the iPhone version all the time, and love it. |

Dry Irish Stout Tastes very much like grain Sounds like you've nailed it. And I think you're right, I have never seen a stout recipe that didn't use a pale base malt. |

90-minute boil for pilsner malt? This. If you have a good rolling boil you can probably get away with 60-70 minutes, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe :-) It's also important to cool the wort quickly, as DMS is produced above a certain temperature threshold, and only evaporates when the wort is boiling. |

Force “bubblifying” with something other than CO2 Technically you're not "carbonating" if you're not adding CO2 |

What is the best beer to make for a spouse who prefers sauvignon blanc? Nelson Sauvin is an incredible hop, but is adds a lot of bitterness. I'd suggest Riwaka, which has very similar flavour/aroma to Nelson, but much less bitterness. Riwaka can be hard to find, though. |
