comment Yeast Starter Stopper & Sanitization
Oh, I learned that lesson the hard way as well. There's a certain amount of babying required when the wort first hits boil.

comment Why do all my beers taste better after having aged for a couple months?
Sugar that's not fermentable by normal beer yeast can be fermentable by wild yeasts. For example if you take a 'finished' beer and add Brett, the Brett will still find sugars that it can eat.

comment Aerating a 1.10 OG beer once its in the secondary
If it is perfectly healthy, sure. But I've made beers where I aged on oak for months, racked to a new container and added new yeast and fermentables. That's not a healthy population of yeast. That's a fresh, undersized population of yeast entering a poisonous environment, so oxygen is not uncalled for.

That's a whole other question. Try googling it first.

comment DIY Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC / Peltier) Fermentation Chamber
I'm upvoting this question because I'm hoping for some good answers. I looked into TEC for a while, but never could find any definitive details on using it in brewing.

Made it clear what TEC was an acronym for.
