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.

Could non-alkalized cocoa powder cause astringency in a chocolate stout? Oh, I misunderstood your comment about lactose not being involved. |

Could non-alkalized cocoa powder cause astringency in a chocolate stout? The lactose in the recipe may have balanced out the astringency. |

How can I tell there is mold in my bottles? Star san won't remove soils in a useful way. You want to use something like PBW or Oxi-clean to remove mold, rinse that out, and then use the star-san to kill any remaining organisms. See this question: homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/180/… |

Why did beer get into my gas lines from my corny keg? @paul: only if you have no headroom, so beer is in the gas tube |

Is a dual-body CO2 regulator worth the additional cost? 12-15psi, usually. My fridge hasn't been converted, though, so I'm still using a cobra tap and squatting down to the level of the beer or lower to fill my glasses. |

Possible failed ferment: re-boil or campden + re-pitch? This is why I keep a few packets of various dry yeasts in my fridge. |

Options to improve clarity and reduce sediment in a barrel conditioned lager So, you're fermenting in a keg, and you're going to serve out of the same keg? |

Options to improve clarity and reduce sediment in a barrel conditioned lager Lager, you mean? What do you mean by "had to vent the gas"? If it's fermenting, the gas should be vented. Are you intending to bottle or keg this beer? |

Racking a carbonated beer from a keg back to the fermenter Sometimes, it's just best to admit you've got a dumper and move on to the next beer. |

Is there any trick to draining the water out of an immersion chiller? I hadn't thought about that, but it's also not something I'm particularly worried about. I figure boiling for 15-20 minutes and then flushing for 20-50 minutes once or twice a month will keep anything from getting too much of a foothold in there. |

How to connect my immersion chiller to the faucet @Symmetric: Yes, or they only had a couple of them and I got lucky and guessed the correct one, I can't remember. I had also recently replaced my faucet, so I think it was a standard Delta size fitting or something. |

Is a dual-body CO2 regulator worth the additional cost? My kegs usually have enough pressure to push beer out without needing to be hooked up constantly. |
