Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 21:35:27 +1100 From: "Phil Yates" <yates at acenet.com.au> Subject: Pre Fermentation Oxidization Okay, where is everybody? The only person to pipe up and give me an answer about the moisture content of bottled CO2 was the devil from the north himself, Mr Graham Sanders. This he did off line. After his public berating he has decided to now live under a rock. At least the crocs aren't likely to find him there. I reckon I should be able to command a fee for being the only person on earth who can shut Graham up. Bit like a bounty hunter. Given my perilous employment situation, I might just start asking money for my talents where once I delighted in offering them for nothing. But enough of this, I have another question. We have argued in here to the death about whether or not HSA existed, or more to the point, whether or not it mattered. I'm sure we all agree that oxidization of our beer post fermentation is a serious no no. But I'm curious about this point: Most of us go out of our way to get as much oxygen as we can into our wort just prior to dumping in our yeast. What happens if we don't dump in our yeast, or not immediately? What happens if we run our wort from the kettle, heavily aerate it and put it in a sealed container free from infection? What happens if we leave it there for a good month before throwing in our yeast? My bet would be that the end product would have serious oxidization flavours. Whilst talking about oxidization flavours, it's interesting to note that the Oxford Dictionary (well at least the one I have) makes mention of "make or become rusty" in its description of the word oxidize. Now I reckon that is a very good description of resulting oxidization flavours in beer. Rusty or metallic. I was waiting for Steve Alexander to produce his new Beer Dictionary to see how he described it, but I reckon the Oxford has taken the wind out of his sails. Comments please? And I'm looking for answers from people who live other than under a rock. I will though accept answers from the guy under the rock if he wants to make comment. Cheers Phil Return to table of contents
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:30:19 -0500 From: "Drew Avis" <andrew_avis at hotmail.com> Subject: Cap Report pt II Brewers, two months ago I reported on my disastrous CAP brew session (http://hbd.org/hbd/archive/3845.html). Last weekend I kegged the RauchCAP, and last night I poured a glass. And a second! It was not just bearable and non-toxic - it was actually *good*. Only a distant hint of smoke, barely perceceptable, and no kitty litter flavour or aroma to speak of. The grain bill is not typical, but certainly CAP-ish (15% polenta, 10% wheat, 75% two row) and with a definite "corny" character (perhaps it's just the keg). 30 IBUs from Cascade & Ultra. To be honest, it's lighter and more "swill-like" than what I'm used to, but I can get used to it! This beer was brewed with a DCL dried lager yeast: 34/70. It is not listed on the DCL web site, but is listed on the Crosby-Baker site (stuck at the say much, eh? I find it to be very clean, almost watery, no diacetyl, no sulfur. What I'm amazed at is the lack of off-flavours from racking (by accident) into a filthy carboy. 20 grams seems to have been enough to out-ferment the nasties that were certainly there in droves. And with a standard lager fermentation schedule it achieved excellent attenuation (OG 1.055, FG 1.010). A single datapoint, but enough to convince me that 34/70 is worth using again.

Let me know when Mickey Mouse is >going to the moon. >Eric Lande >Doylestown, PA Eric, I am quite shocked by the tone of your response. I am barely containing my anger. You may have been joking, but it certainly didn't seem like it. If you were, you need to do a better job at indicating it in the future. I too was disappointed that Good Eats last night was a rerun from Season 4. But, since you looked for the episode on FoodTV.Com, I'm sure you noticed it only shows the Good Eats schedule for less than a week at a time. So, you should have been able to extrapolated that I got my information from some other source since I posted my original message about a month ago. Here's where the information came from: http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/EpisodeInfo/Season5Info.htm. At the bottom of the page is the information on the beer episode. In the time it took you to write your "response", you could have posted a message on the Good Eats Fan Forum to see if anyone else knew when the episode was going to be aired. Or maybe done a web search & found either the website listed above, or the AltonBrown.Com website where the beer episode is listed in his Season 5 shows (none of the shows have airdates though). The HomeBrew Digest is inappropriate for this type of personal attack. I would have been happy to respond to your issues directly if you had the courtesy to send your message to me only. But instead you decided to not only respond in a mean-spirited message, but post it to a public forum, so I feel obligated to defend myself. It's unfortunate that this ruined your gathering, but at least it gave you the opportunity to get together with friend & drink beer. If you were planning a whole gathering around this episode, you might have wanted to verify when it was going to be on. I apologize to anyone else that my information may have inconvenienced. I have posted messages on various Good Eats sites to determine when the episode will be aired and may post an update if I find out when it is. Thank you, Nils Hedglin Sacramento, CA PS-By the way, as evidenced by these following links, Mickey has already been to the moon. http://www.collectorsconnection.com/images1/mickey28.jpg http://www.art.com/asp/sp.asp?PD=10005358&RFID=463353 Return to table of contents

I would really like to hook both burners up to a single tank, but don't know what fitting(s) I need. I know many of you have crossed this bridge before, and was hoping someone could tell me what I need and where I can buy it. Thanks in advance.

Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:55:50 -0500 From: "Houseman, David L" <David.Houseman at unisys.com> Subject: RE: malt sack volume? Bill Tobler spent $35.80 for a 13 gal container to hold grain; somewhat less since he bought four. I spent $5.80 for 13 (maybe 15) gallon rubbermaid containers and lids at K-Mart. Each holds a great deal more grain than one 55lb sack; probably at least two. They were on sale but the regular price was not a whole lot more. But then they only had them in green... Do check out K-Mart, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. as these stores seem to have all sorts of useful stuff for brewing that were intended for other things... Dave Houseman Return to table of contents
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 04:46:42 -0800 (PST) From: Lonzo McLaughlin <lonkelm at yahoo.com> Subject: Breiss Roasted Barley in Stout Paul Kensler <paul_kensler at yahoo.com writes ..... -Briess' "roasted barley" is NOT the grain you want to -use when making a stout... -Briess' roasted barley is indeed heavily roasted, but -if you use a pound of it in a 5 gallon batch you'll -roasty-bitter-acidic beer (this might sound good, but -I didn't care for it - unfortunately I made two -batches of it before I discovered the culprit). Just -off the top of my head, I think Briess' roasted barley -is around 300L, and the "real" roasted barleys are -over 500L. This has been my primary roasted barley for the stouts I've made over the last couple of years. What other roasted barley does this forum recommend? I've too noticed a very acidic taste with this barley. On beers with less amounts in the grain bill it isn't soo bad but with a Dry Stout it can be a taste that is not liked. Please suggest some readily available roasted barleys that make a good dry stout. Return to table of contents
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:25:06 -0800 From: "Brian Schar" <schar at vimedical.com> Subject: Grain storage At your local pet food store, you can get various sizes of a thing called a Vittles Vault, which comes in a variety of sizes corresponding to big bags of pet food. It's made of heavy plastic & has a wide screw-on lid that seats tightly. I store cat food in one, and have never had a problem with spoilage or insect infestation, even when faced with an ant invasion one year that got into darn near everything else. I would think you could store grain in one of these pretty safely. Brian Schar Menlo Park, CA Rennerian calculator is off-line! Return to table of contents
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 17:53:38 -0500 From: Andrew Nix <anix at vt.edu> Subject: Update on Weizen Yeast from Bottle In case anyone is interested, I wanted to post an update to my experiment in stepping up weizen yeast from a bottle. First of all, I got great support from a company called MBI (Manneken-Brussel Imports, Inc) that imports Schneider Weisse, which is the beer I was trying to step the yeast up from. I asked them about whether Schneider used bottom fermenting yeast in the bottle and they researched the info and got the info for me that they use the same top fermenting yeast in the bottle as in the primary. As for the starter. It sat for about 2-3 days without any activity at 60F. I put about a quart of 1.045 wort on it. I left for the weekend and when I returned it had a small layer of krausen. I swirled the bottle and it went ape and a layer of foam and krausen almost 2" thick formed. It's been going pretty strong for the last few days and smells wonderful. I even asked my wife to smell it and tell me what it smelled like. Her response was "It smells like bananas." "Good answer," I said. I am going to take the safe route though and brew a 13 gallon batch of wheat beer using single decoction. I will pitch White Labs Hefe IV on 5 gallons, a buddy is pitching a wit yeast on 5 gallons and I'll pitch the stepped up Schneider Weisse on 3 gallons, in case it turns out bad (I'm a wuss). I'll report the results. Drewmeister Andrew Nix Department of Mechanical Engineering Virginia Tech anix at vt.edu http://www.vt.edu:10021/A/anix Return to table of contents
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 10:04:02 -0400 From: Daniel Chisholm <dmc at nbnet.nb.ca> Subject: Using pH test paper: How??? plus water chemistry.... So I finally got some pH test paper, and figured that it might improve my brewing. It seems like I can't figure out how to get a decent reading with the stuff (!). Either that or my water chemsistry is pathological... I have Precision Labs Inc (of West Chester, OH 45069) test strips, part no. 4662, for testing pH range 4.6-6.2. On the label inside the bottle it says "for best results follow closely directions on carton". Problem #1: I only bought the vial of strips, I have not seen the carton it came in. The colour changes from 4.6 to 6.2 are subtle, to say the least. Approximately a light tan at 4.6 to a medium brown at 6.2. To a guy who feels that about sixteen colours is all one really need to get through life with, and thinks that "taupe" is more likely to be a bird or a plane than a colour, well you can probably see my problem.... First question: does pH paper care what temperature the liquid is at? I know that pH meters' half cells are temperature sensitive, and must either be temperature compensated or have the sample at room temperature. Is this the case with the test paper's chemistry also? Second question: my pH seemed to be stubbornly high for last night's brew. Untreated water read off the scale high (not surprising). My mash, made with untreated water, after half an hour also read high off the scale (I think. Or was it 6.2? Could it be 5.8? Certainly not lower than that, but it could be anywhere from 5.8 to more than 6.2). Adding 8 grams of CaCl2 to the mash and stirring valiantly yielded.... no change. Adding 1/4 tsp 10% phosphoric acid yielded.... no change. Adding 1 tsp. 88 % lactic acid yielded.... no change. Mash consisted of 9 kg Canada Malting 2-row, and 20 litres water. This morning the sweet wort measured perhaps 5.5, perhaps 5.5 (I ran out of time last night, and set the wort outside to cool). I sure hope it drops at least one notch after the brew. What is my water chemistry, you ask? Short answer is that I don't have an analysis. Long answer is this: I'm guessing that it is very soft, or at least of zero temporary hardness. I base this on the observation that there is no precipitation of CaCO3 when water is boiled. Secondly, the well that the water comes from is not very deep, and has enormous capacity (>40 gpm). I assume that this means it may be in a sand vein, and perhaps therefore not have had the chance to dissolve many minerals. Until I fork over the $80-$100 it will take to have a proper water analysis done, I won't know for sure. I did do a little stovetop chemistry experiment, in which I boiled a saucepan of tap water plus a "smidge" of powdered gypsum (from some drywall scrap, actually ;-). This seemed to give some precipitation - so I'm guessing I have some carbonate present (I *think* I didn't overdo the gypsum and use more than could be dissolved, but I cannot say for sure) I've become increasingly suspicious that my mash and wort pH might be too high (and so I jumped at the opportunity to buy some pH test strips to use while I wait for a pH meter). My efficiencies seem to consistently be in the 65% area (I think all my procedures are good, yet this seems low compared to what everyone else seems to be able to achieve). And my finishing gravities are almost always a bit higher than they ought to be, especially with lager (Wyeast 2278) yeast (e.g. a CAP from 1051 down to 1022). Figuring that my water is very soft (because of the lack of boiling deposits) I've all along been avoiding brewing a stout or porter until I get a pH meter. Now I figure that my next beer ought to be exactly one of those - maybe they will be able to knock my pH paper readings down in to the range I'm looking for? I have some CaCO3 on hand, so providing that the pH paper is actually working (or I figure out how to use it!!), I should be fine. I tried doing a web search for instructions on using pH paper, and also looked for a web site for Precision Labs. Quite surprisingly, I was unable to turn up anything for either.

Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 09:11:56 -0500 From: "Charles R. Stewart" <Charles at TheStewarts.com> Subject: Brew Stands On Wed, 13 Mar 2002, Bjorn of Waterloo (Bjoern.Thegeby at cec.eu.int)inquired about brew stand dimensions: >> I am in the process of designing a brew stand, but am in short supply of engineering friends. I have decided to go for a 2 1/2 tier system with liquor tank low, mash tun on top, draining into a kettle at the "mezzanine" level. If you did not get that, it is the general design of the bigger "Beer, Beer and more Beer" systems. I have seen a number of systems on the web, but they seldom give rack profile dimensions. My gut feeling would be to go with square profiles for the risers and "L" profiles for the horizontals framing the vessels (to keep them in place). The bottom horizontal frame would be either square or rectangular, with two fixed feet and two vertically adjustable. The maximum width/length per vessel would be 22 inches. I would like the system to be as light as possible, while capable of carrying a load of 25 gallons+grain + weight of vessel. Am I total off track here, and if not, what size profiles can I get away with?>> Bjorn - While combing local scrapyards and drawing up elaborate plans for a three tiered system myself, I stumbled into a rolling restaurant rack (see http://www.costco.com/frameset.asp?trg=product%2Easp&catid=114&subid=858&hie rid=1090&prdid=10002618&log= - you may have to paste the link back together). This turned out to be cheaper, easier, and probably better than the units I was getting ready to build. First, the unit is rated for 600 lb., more than enough for your 25 gal. batches. The rack is also re-configurable and can be re-arranged according to your needs. It's also easy to run tubing and wiring along the racks. Also, since it is stored in the house, it is much more acceptable to SWMBO as it is chrome plated and can be wheeled out of sight. I can also organize most of my brew gear on it with plastic storage boxes to keep things tidy. Finally, the wheels allow me to roll the whole unit out the back door for fair-weather brewing.
