Feb 20	revised	Whirfloc shelf life and use added 1 characters in body; edited title
Feb 17	comment	At what stage of the fermentation process is temperature control most important? Good point. I haven't made a lager, so if someone else wants to answer this question with a focus on lagers, that'd be great.

Feb 16	answered	At what stage of the fermentation process is temperature control most important?
Feb 15	comment	What's the best UK malt to use instead of 'US 2-row pale ale malt' Optic would have been my answer as well. A solid, flavorful grain but not as in-your-face as Maris Otter or Golden Promise.

Feb 9	revised	How do you make your own recipe? edited title
Feb 9	answered	How do you make your own recipe?
Feb 9	comment	How do you make your own recipe? We might want to convert this to a community wiki. It's a great question, but one that will have a lot of 'correct' answers.
Feb 8	comment	Aerating When Moving from Mash tun to Boil Pot Agreed. HSA is not a concern here. As for commercial breweries, some also have separate mash and lauter tuns, so that extra transfer is another chance to pick up oxygen. Not a problem that most homebrewers face.
Feb 4	comment	Partial-mash vs. Mini mash. Is there a difference? Not exactly. A cereal mash is for unmalted grains that need extra work to gelatinize. The mini-mash I described is a way for extract brewers to make liquid extract more fermentable.
