I've been brewing since spring 2008. The more I do it, the more I enjoy it, and I love learning new information and new techniques.

I really like the fact that brewing combines and applies knowledge from so many different realms, and much like cooking, ends up with the best results being considered as works of art as much of science and engineering.

comment Maple wood aging as opposed to maple syrup
and try to find Grade B Syrup. It's darker and has more "maple" flavor than the Grade A Syrup. Presumably, it would be slightly less fermentable, too, much like the various grades of molasses.

Why wouldn't you want to sample your beer?

comment Coffee Beans for Homebrewing
This question is a bit too subjective, and could easily lend itself to turning into a big list of types of coffee.

When converting temperature differences, don't add the 32 to F.

comment When to add salts to RO brewing water
I feel like "How do I add them" is sufficiently similar to "When do I add them" to make the questions pretty much the same. I don't think that aspect was answered adequately, but I'm not sure that it warrants another extremely similar question.

I usually just pour my partial into a glass and consider it a taster.

comment How to clean the CO2 line?
You should be able to disassemble the connector. That slot at the top will take a medium-large flathead screwdriver. Just keep on eye on where the spring goes...
