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.

Jun 3	comment	Ginger beer that lasts I can't speak to that... I've never brewed with it.
May 29	comment	Brewing with brettanomyces bruxellensis That's a bit open ended. We don't know what you like, so we can't tell you what to brew. Brett. IPA? Lambic? Your own twist on Orval? You could do any of these things, and more. Can you narrow the scope of your question some?
Apr 3	comment	Why shouldn't we just use scales? Why would temperature matter for a mass measurement?

Feb 27	comment	when making whiskey what is left of the barley? ... and i just looked at the history, edits, and comments. Is that last comment on Cleber Goncalves answer actually what you're really looking for? If so, can you edit the question to reflect that? If not, can you edit the question so that it more clearly states what it is you are looking for?
Feb 27	comment	when making whiskey what is left of the barley? They tell you what various people do with the spent grain left over after a mash.

Jan 31	comment	Need a simple extract IPA recipe Our aim is not to be yet-another-recipe-site. Here's a list of resources: homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/366/…
Jan 30	comment	Homebrewing Glossary - Dictionary of Commonly-Used Terms This is just going to turn into a big list of tags that we already have, for the most part. Just go edit the tags if they don't explain what you want, or make new ones if what you're looking for doesn't exist.
Jan 14	comment	Will Jalapeno or Habanero peppers adversely effect yeast en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin#Natural_function "...there is evidence that capsaicin evolved as an anti-fungal agent. The fungal pathogen, Fusarium, is known to infect wild chilies which reduces seed viability. Capsaicin deters the fungus, and in doing so limits this form of predispersal seed mortality."
Jan 10	comment	Irish Red Recipe meta.homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/11/recipe-questions We can help you change the flavor profile of a recipe that you've already got, but we can't help you come up with recipes.
Jan 1	comment	Increasing the 'caramel and coffee tones' of my porter I always get more coffee flavor with roasted barley, and more "ashtray" from black malt, but I may be using things in the wrong ratio.
Nov 2	comment	Where can I get custom crown caps in the UK? Sorry, I misinterpreted the various flags on a comment.
Oct 26	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.

Oct 19	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.
Oct 5	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.
Sep 28	comment	How does bottling in a half bottle effect taste I usually just pour my partial into a glass and consider it a taster.
Sep 25	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...
