My bottles are Conditioning underwater. Why are there bubbles on the caps on day 2 but not day 0 through 1? Moreover unless you pass your day looking at your bottles how can you know if some gas went out of the bottles and you didn't see it? :) |

Using pine in beer In my knowledge is for taste, C. Papazian reports two or three recipes in his Complete Joy, where spruce is used alongside with hops (for example in a porter where rather unconventional ingredients like chili, ginger, chocolate are used) |

Can Infected beer cause death or major illness? Heat destroys the toxine indeed: Botulinum toxin is denatured at temperatures greater than 80 °C (176 °F) (from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulinum_toxin#Chemical_overview). Typical botulism problems are with food which is not cooked after canning |

Which yeast should I use to make apple cider Try to plit a batch. Half with champagne yeast and another half with ale yeast and see if there is any meaningful difference. I would expect champagne yeast to finish drier, but not sure on that. |

Alternative uses for a failed batch Try to make vinegar with it, even if it is a whole lot of vinegar... Otherwise use/experiment with it for cooking. Or maybe mix with another beer (but this way you would risk spoiling the other one too...) |

How to make malt vinegar I think wine vinegar is made from "regular" wine, which is 12% ABV, moreover the article says the limit to make vinegar is 18% ABV. |

Why shouldn't we just use scales? The error on the hydrometer can be assumed to be the division itself. If the scale goes 1.030 1.032 1.034 etc., the error is 2 gravity points, that it is abut 0.2% |

sanitation during mash and sparge Any contamination while cooling? Any chance the yeast you pitched died? (too high wort temperature for example). Something not sanitized touched your wort? |
