I am a software developer living in Boston. When I'm not on the computer, I may be brewing beer.

Alternatives to a hydrometer? +1 I love my refractometer, and I kick myself for not buying it earlier! |

How do you insulate a cooler based mash tun? @Matt I never heard that about a wet towel. That seems counter-intuitive. I mean, if I wrapped a wet towel around myself, I would expect to feel a lot colder than if I used a dry towel. |

How to add fruit to beer Freezing will also help the flavors get out of the fruit and into the beer. The water inside the cells of the fruit will crystallize and expand, bursting the cell walls. This essentially mashes the fruit from the inside out. |

What's the point of going all-grain? Yeah, it takes more time, but we don't brew for the sake of conveniece, right? :) |

When brewing a gruit, how do alternatives to hops, such as mugwort, affect the bitterness and flavor? Thanks, I will add that to my reading list. Stephen Harrod Buhner's Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers is another great gruit resource. I was hoping for people to comment on their personal experience, to augment what I have read. |

Why do red wines tend to be stored in green bottles and white wines not? @fear here is one study comparing the UV protection offered by different colors of glass: skspolytech.com/assets/… |
