Kimberly Kay replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Beer Bar Selections'
I think it depends on how big your selection is. If you're planning on 50 taps, it's not a bad idea to give up one or two to BMC. It'll atleast bring a few people in who might not have come in otherwise. This gives you an opportunity to introduce ...

Ray Grace replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion 'Mixing Yeasts?' in the group Aleuminati Alechemists
Sounds like an interesting experiment. The closest I've done to this is adding champagne yeast to finish out a Belgian strong but that's a pretty standard process. I look forward to hearing how it turns out.

I'd still go ahead and check your final gravity and look for something close to what your target f.g. is, don't rely on airlock activity. Obviously, you can't know for sure what your actual f.g. should be without having taken a starting gravity bu...

You shouldn't have any problems as long as you allow it to fully attenuate. Assuming you've allowed the yeast to consume all the sugars in your wort, the only sugars available during priming will be from the priming sugar.

Chris Haselden replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Beer Bar Selections'
I don't think they should have to if they don't want to serve BMC beers. There are plenty of places that serve only BMC stuff, but that's who they cater to. Places like Stones World Bistro choose to go the other way by catering to the beer geek/en...

Ray Grace commented on Reuben's group 'NOOBrewers'
I wouldn't put more than one or two beers in. Eight days might be enough, especially if the final ABV was fairly low. It can be awfully hard to be patient though.

Ray Grace replied to Reuben's discussion 'The Best Homebrew Reference Materials for Beginners' in the group NOOBrewers
I use the plastic tube the hydrometer came in, you can also buy a larger glass hydrometer tube for it. I just fill the tube until the hydrometer floats. To get the sample you can use a wine thief or I just use a turkey baster.

Ray Grace replied to Reuben's discussion 'The Best Homebrew Reference Materials for Beginners' in the group NOOBrewers
My first go-to reference is John Palmer's How to Brew, easy to read and full of information. I also really recommend Brewing Classic Styles by Palmer and Jamil Zainasheff, mainly a book of recipes but it has a lot of great info in it too. It can b...

Profile Information

Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
IPAs, Pales, Imperial Russian Stouts, Brown Ales, Belgians particularly saisons
Who am I?:
A chemist by trade, probably why I love brewing and cooking so much and the results are so much tastier. Big hockey fan too, the LA KIngs in particular.
Do you have a website? If so, what's the URL?

How did you find out about the Aleuminati?
Not sure, probably either Brookston bulletin or William Brand's blog

Not in California (yet). There's a lot of great breweries in CA. We'll see what the future holds.
