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.

May 6	comment	Fastest method of wort chilling wiki-ing this, as there are tons of factors that go into it.
Apr 6	comment	(Should) my keg floweth over? So.... What's your question?
Apr 5	comment	What posted recipes have you personally brewed multiple times and have had success with? meta.homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/11/recipe-questions
Apr 2	comment	What should I do with this 1-lb brick of maple sugar? This site isn't really "about" recipe suggestions, there are many sites out there that contain those.
Mar 14	comment	Any difference in the metal used for a wort chiller? Just to add to this, there is an added benefit to Copper in that it is an essential nutrient for yeast health, and the low pH of the wort will help to extract some of the metal from the chiller.
Mar 7	comment	What is the legal status of Homebrewing where you live? I don't think any answers to this will be useful outside of particular places at a particular time. There are better forums for gathering this sort of information, and one of the answers below addresses that.
Feb 21	comment	Wort transformation @mdma: That is the same kind of open-ended question as this is, so yeah, I would have closed that, too. I'm willing to reopen if this were edited to have more specifics or if the question were more targeted. We don't know what flavors the OP likes, and we don't know anything about the recipe he's using.
Feb 21	comment	Wort transformation I don't think there's any way to come up with a "correct" answer for this.
Feb 20	comment	When should I rack my mead? Do you have a wine thief or turkey baster and a method to test the specific gravity (hydrometer or refractometer)?
Feb 11	comment	gamma seal lids and B3 buckets What is a gamma seal lid?
Feb 10	comment	No psi shortly after kegging Could you hear gas going into the keg when you finally put it away (before you discovered that the tank was out of pressure)?
Feb 9	comment	Making whiskey from home meta.homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/162/…
Feb 2	comment	US-05 Fermentation Temperatures / Top Cropping I don't know for certain, but I think that the cells in the kraeusen aren't actually doing much beer processing, because they're floating on top, rather than churning around in the wort. Also, there are a lot more cells in suspension working on eating the sugars than there are floating on top, so harvesting kraeusen shouldn't have a significant effect on your attenuation.
Jan 30	comment	Batch carbonation vs bottle carbonation ... and a filter.
Jan 30	comment	Can i use carbonation tablets in cider? Careful about which concentrate you use... Some use Sorbate, which will stun the yeast, and nothing will happen.
Jan 23	comment	If some of the yeast doesn't get into the fermenter does it matter? Make sure to use filtered (or dechlorinated somehow) water for rehydrating the yeast. They don't like chlorine, and you don't want it in your beer anyway.
Jan 20	comment	How should I design my new home brewing space? all kinds of possibilities... converting to wiki
Jan 20	comment	How long can homebrew stay in the primary fermenter? When you say "barrel", are you really referring to a bucket or carboy, or do you actually have your beer in a wooden barrel?
Jan 20	comment	Yeast nutrient schedule for meads? Check the Jamil show on Mead, on thebrewingnetwork.com you'll have to listen to a good portion of the show, but it's quite interesting if you're into Meads. Basic Brewing Radio also has some informative mead shows.
