In checking the text there is no error as previously described.
If read carefully it will be seen that there is ample heat in a 16l
infusion to hit the next rest temperature with the amount of grist
involved.

Subject: Star San

I have a question regarding the fragility of Star San.  
I have been using this sanitizer with a great deal of success 
for over a year now.   I am wondering how fragile it is?  If I leave  
a mixture of the solution uncovered for 24 hours, does this 
affect its sanitizing effect?  I keep forgetting to pour it back
into the jug I store it in, or sometimes I leave the cap off the
jug.  Does this weaken its effectiveness?
 
Cheers, 
 
William Erskine

Subject: FWH'ing

In yesterday's HBD, Dave Burley wrote:
"I have been unimpressed with the effect in my experiments. G. Fix had a
different opinion. Maybe because I used only noble hops, as is my
practice."

This reminded me that I have a question I've been meaning to post to the
collective. This year I did a couple of CAPs and I decided that I would
FWH them, and the only other hops were additional bittering hops that
were boiled for one hour. I added no late additions of hops for flavor
or aroma. I have noticed that the beer  I FWH'd  with Hallertau
Mittelfruh had very little hop flavor, whereas the beer I FWH'd with
Czech Saaz had a very noticeable hop flavor.

Has anyone else noticed that some hop strains flavors survive the boil
when FWH'ing and other strains do not?

Subject: Beer engines...

	I have been wanting to have a couple of beer engines on my bar
for some time now.  I have considered buying a couple of Angram beer
engines, but the high cost, and difficulty (in Canada) in finding
replacement parts and expertise in mainentaining these a bit of an
issue.  However, I have thought that the concept and design is somewhat
straight forward and feel that limited machining and parts may equate to
a cost for the pumping portion to be about $75(Cdn) a pair, with the
"fancy wood" surrounding box and "pull" to be extra.  Anyone out there
in HBD land built a beer engine, or has experience with the Angram
engines care to post to the greater HBD community?
