comment will i end up with flat beer?
voted to close. if the answer wasn't thorough enough the first time around, please make a comment in that thread, and someone will inevitably elaborate on the answer. reasking the question isn't going to carbonate your beer.

comment How low can a beer's final gravity be?
Agreed. Starting at 1.066, 100% attenuation would end you at .984. That would, of course, imply infection.

comment 36 hours after pitching straight from the vial, no signs of fermentation, what now?
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the yeast and what kind was it? I ask because the Wyeast 2278 (Czech Pils) that I bought on Friday from the Brew Hut in Denver was also bad...

That's what I was looking for. Do you still have your presentation on this?

comment Brewing with very bad old-smelling potatoes?
I doubt there would be a difference in methanol levels between new and old potatoes, but I have to admit I don't know much about decomposition reactions from fungus and other potato contaminants.

comment Brewing with very bad old-smelling potatoes?
Oh, and the cases of poising are from methanol, a byproduct of distillation when the wort has higher levels of pectin. It's not from rotten potatoes. FYI - Commercial distilleries have processes in place to keep methanol out of the final product. (It boils at a lower temp than ethanol, so the first runnings from the still are discarded.)

comment What does scorched wort taste like?
Was it an extract batch? If so, did you cut the flame while adding the extract to the kettle?

comment Beer calculators and batch/boil size with late fermentable additions
Ahh yes, Tinseth does sound familiar. And exp is short for exponent in some programming languages. It's the same as using a ^.
