I'll be in Memphis Tenn. later this week, and was wondering if anybody knows
of local or nearby brewpubs, bars or breweries that are worth checking out??
Thanks

Subject: Re: "medical grade oxygen"

 I seem to remember this topic on the HBD a few years ago.  As I recall,
someone with a pile of credentials put a nail in the thread by stating that
they could never add anything to the medical grade oxygen because of the
potential for an allergic reaction.  That could be deadly for anyone that is
ill enough to need oxygen.

Just what I remember.

Subject: Re: Big Foot Clone

I have had pretty good luck with the recipe below.  I cheat on the "all
grain" by adding 3 pounds of DME since my mash tun is a 7 gallon plastic
bucket.

I brew a pale ale first then use the whole yeast cake for this brew.

The only problem I have had is the last time I used WL0008 instead of 1056
and couldn't get the bottles to carbonate.  One month, two months, still
flat and sweet.  SO I opened 5 bottles and added a few grains of Nottingham
(grains, not rehydrated)to each.  After a month, one bottle carbonated but
the other 4 didn't.

SO I rehydrated a pack of champagne yeast, added a few drops to each bottle
and recapped.  In a week they carbonated just the way I like.

Subject: Spam and the HBD


Recently, Dion dashed Marc's hopes of less spam due to "masking" of the HDB
done by Pat:

>You must just have a lucky coincidence.  If your address had been
>harvested before, it is still being used today unless the spammers get
>bounces.  Once they glom onto an address, they do not let it go while it
>does not bounce.

On a hopefully related note, I have been told that you should not click on
the link to have your addy taken off their mailing list as this will
confirm that the spammers have found a "live" one (a good working addy).  I
just got one sent to me by Bed, Bath and Beyond and hesitated over whether
to click on the removal link.  I didn't.

Sorry this is not beer related, but we all get his crap and want it to
stop.  Can anyone confirm or debunk this one?

Subject: light sensitivity in carboy


	We all know not to bottle in clear or green bottle (or, at
least, to be more careful when we do), but is similar caution
recommended when fermenting in a carboy?  I moved from plastic to
glass for this batch and I'm curious how I should be treating the
carboy.

	I'll be more specific: my carboy is in neither direct light
nor florescent light, but it does get a decent amount of diffuse day
light during the day.  Will this lead to a light struck brew?  Right
now, it's in a milk crate and is about half covered with a garbage bag
(to contain any leaks or spills).  Will half covering it make a
difference in the answer to the above?  Furthermore, does the light
sensitivity depend on whether the beer/wort is in primary or
secondary fermentation?  Is it worth it for me to move the carboy to a
darker, but less convenient area?

	Sorry to be pedantic, but I didn't anything in the archives
and I thought it'd be worthwhile to get something somewhat definitive
into the archives.  Thanks.

Clayton

Subject: Medical Grade Oxygen

With all due respect to Dr. Cone, medical grade oxygen which meets FDA
requirements (USP-grade) does not contain fungicides, or other additives.
Specifications (tests, procedures and acceptance criteria) for medical gases
are actually established by each firm. However a firm may use the USP
(United States Pharmacopoeia) specifications and meet the requirements. The
USP contains legally recognized standards of identity, strength, quality,
purity, packaging, and labeling for active ingredients and therapeutic
products.
