The Aleuminati-the not so secret society of better beer drinkers

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

For those inquisitive Aleuminati who strive to unlock the mysteries of zymurgy within the confines of their own home - more accurately, the garage or kitchen, typically.

I thought the yeast wouldn't impart much flavor during bottle conditioning, so (extra) warm conditioning temps wasn't a big deal. Was I wrong on that?

I have had the Allagash Black and a belgian stout named Buffalo (don't know the maker). I find them between a shwartzbeer and standard stout in that they are not too roasty/bitter which I like alot. Jolly Pumpkin makes an 8% belgian stout caled Madr…

A gathering place for inclined Aleums to shamelessly gush about all things Belgian.

1.090 is a pretty potent. I'd guess that your yeast is just gearing up for dinner. If you still don't see any action at all after a couple of days, then I'd begin to wonder. Otherwise, I'd bet you're okay.

Also, the temp was about 77 degrees at the point that I pitched the yeast.

I recorded a 1.090 OG before pitching, but this seemed awful low. I had added cold water to the wort, but I don't think it had mixed well when I took the reading.

Hey Reuben, Generally speaking, sugar won't slow fermentation. It is possible, however, that the yeast will take a little while to acclimate to their new sugary environment, especially if you pitched the yeast straight (no starter) or your starter…

Profile Information

Who am I?:
We've got kind of a wacky agrarian, DIY aesthetic thing going on in this household, but since I'm not much of a knitter and don't plan on mastering macramé until I take that class in prison, most of the crafty time is spent in the kitchen. And often, the results are alcoholic in nature. Sometimes I sit down and write about it. Oh and I like teh beer!

The San Francisco Dogfish Head premiere, as reviewed within an introspection on the business of beer writing



Hey gang. So I got around to posting a little wrap-up piece on last night's shindig at Ye Olde Toronadoe, and, as it typically happens, the post ended up having much less to do with the event in question than about a completely unrelated subject. (For those three of who have read my site before would liken this situation… Continue

New group for home-brewin' 'Leumers

Since we seem to have quite the populous kitchen-, garage-, and back yard-brewing set amongst our ranks, I thought it might be about time for us to band together into our own little mash-posse: the Aleuminati Alechemists. It's destined to be the place to steal each other's recipes, pillage each other's hops rations, and make fun of each other's goofy labels. The possibilities are nearly endless.

On the mystical convergence between music and beer

Going through the Philosopher's archives recently, I noticed a post that he'd written on a beer and music episode of The Session (on a month that it was hosted by one of my local brewing heroes, Tomme Arthur, as it were), and realized that as much time as I spend wheedling around on the 'net,… Continue

The LongShot question: To submit to the humiliation, or just keep those bottles for my own enjoyment?

With the soon-to-be-legendary Sam Adams homebrew competition fast upon us, along with its phantasmagorical promise of having the winners' beers produced en masse by big Jim Koch himself, even I - I, who has never once entered a beer into a contest, joined a homebrew club, or even pitted my recipes against the rules of common decency - am debating posting a few very well-cushioned bottles off to BContinue

About that "Aleuminati Special" ale...

Or would it be a lager? I finally got around to writing up a short post on the De Regenboog's 't Smisje BBBourgondier of which I so fortuitously came into posession recently. In a comment to Shawn's state of the unionati post, I posited that this beer also happens to summarize (boil down?) what can be so gre… Continue

Thanks Rob. I haven't been on my home computer for a while so I neglected this group. I'll try to be more social now!

Oh NOW I get it... it was a combined profile for Steve&me for BeerByBART: http://aleuminati.ning.com/profile/GailandorStevefromBeerByBART

Hmmm. I'll have to figure out what is less insane. I am suffering from major online dilution syndrome!

Hi Rob! I have a profile here someplace by Ning confused me and created a new ID instead of telling me that I was not using the same email address I am signed up with. I'll have to sort it all out. Anyway, hello and thanks for the friendly welcome.
