The only thing that's mysterious is why people would drink cheap, fizzy beer.

- Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
- Being the "founder of the feast," so to speak, I suppose I had better remain objective. Suffice to say there are few styles I don't like in some measure. No matter the style, or sub-style, every beer has some redeeming quality or it wouldn't be beer at all ... how's that for dancing around the question? Who writes this stuff, anyway? Ohhh ... never mind.
- Who am I?:
- Proud husband, father and founder of beerphilosopher.com and the Aleuminati here. I am a freelance beer writer and certified beer geek (sans beer gut, thank you). Although the afore-mentioned are my primary haunts, I am also an editor and beer-channel steward for helium.com.
Let's see ... I'm ordained (don't ask), have a black belt ... and hate eggplant. That's important.
Oh, and back to the beer ... I'm a home brewer of questionable talent.
The rest of the stuff is pretty boring.
- Do you have a website? If so, what's the URL?
- www.beerphilosopher.com
- How did you find out about the Aleuminati?
- It just came to me one day and I know I had to do something with it! So I did.
- Were you referred by anyone? If so, who? (screen name)
- I talk to myself a lot.

To Your Health!
Just posted a piece on beer and health on beerphilosopher.com - actually it's a link to two articles I found very interesting from mainstream publications. One is from NewsMax.com; the other is from Forbes.com.
Go to my article here and you'll find the links to the other two.
Cheers!

Reuben said… - Hey, man. Thanks for the tips and comments about the fermentation of my latest batch. It finally started bubbling up consistently through the airlock last night, so it should be fine.

Mikey said… - I think the easiest way to get rid of the spammers is to just go through the profiles individually and read the way they filled out their profiles. If they say nothing about beer and/or have weird links just ban them (you can ban them by clicking the link right on their page). If there are any members that you can't quite tell about, just send them a message and if they don't reply, get rid of them.
It'll kind of suck to go through that many profiles but once it's done it'll be easier to navigate the site and then you can just police the incoming members as they sign up.
That's just my two cents though.

- Very informative! Thank you for the tips.

- I need your opinion. A recent item in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests that for bottle-conditioned beers one should be cautious about letting the yeast get into the glass.
It has been my understanding that any sediment in a bottle should be swirled around with the last inch or so of liquid and then poured in. Is that just the case with unfiltered wheats or would that apply here as well? The comment in question is about half way through the article.
