    Help Me Write A Thesis On Beer: Tell Me About Your Ingredients

    And I'm starting to think that with the idiocy this topic is invoking, Jim would have been better off studying crochet.

    Help Me Write A Thesis On Beer: Tell Me About Your Ingredients

    So, what, he's bullshitting and is actually some lacky from a malting company? I'll pop into UWA on Monday and let them know about the fraud issue. Give him a break. Like he said, it's research for a cultural anthropology thesis - I don't see how that's too hard to swallow.

    Help Me Write A Thesis On Beer: Tell Me About Your Ingredients

    Two Masters degrees and you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"? Maybe you were just all stirred up because he preempted your search function spiel. The guy is conducting research by seeking answers to specific questions for his thesis - can you point him to a book containing...

    If you're using a thermostat for temp control, do you really need the dial thermometer as well? I have both in mine, and they often display two different temperatures during heating which is annoying. I'd rather have just the thermostat and pretend that it's a uniform temperature throughout.

    So What Does A Skunk Taste Like?

    Sometimes you see the word 'goaty' come up in relation to beer too. What the hell does goaty taste like??

    Bulk Buy - Little Brown Pumps

    Mine are on their fifth day of sitting in the courier's bay awaiting delivery, if it doesn't come today I'll give them a call. 'Fastway' is proving to be a bit of a misnomer for this courier company, it's been two weeks now!

    Is There An Error In Brewing Water Calculators?

    Sorry to jump off topic here, but if you're making salt additions simply to round out hoppiness/emphasise maltiness etc (as opposed to adjusting mash pH or providing ions for the yeast), is there any reason this can't be done post fermentation?

    Cooling A Mobile Keg (going To The Park)

    Keg King sell neoprene keg jackets for 25 bucks so they might be worth looking into: http://www.kegking.com.au/Downloads/Catalo...rice%20List.pdf, on page 24.

    Almost there, put a control panel in and waiting on my bulk buy brown pump for plate chiller. Then it's time for the fermentation fridge, followed by the keezer, and maybe one day in the foreseeable future I will actually start brewing beer. This is taking ages.

    Attaching Qd's To A Keg?

    I had the exact same issue this morning after receiving my QD's. I eventually worked out that I had to lift the collar, push it on, and then start twisting the QD around until the collar popped back down and it sealed. Without the twisting it would just get stuck - I guess this is where keg...

    Introduce Yourself.

    Hey mate, I'm not a member, but West Coast Brewers are the local brew club and hold monthly meetings (I'm gonna sign up once I finally get my AG rig up and running and a few brews under my belt). Not sure what area you're in, but decent home brew stores are: TWOC in Bibra Lake, Brewmart in...

    Tight Arse Stir Plate

    When I turn the speed down to a reasonable level, mine emits a horrible high pitched noise. Pretty much anything under full speed will get it. Anyone know why this could be? I think it's because I tried to make mine all flash and used a fan with LEDs in it, and they don't take kindly to being...

    This has been a big issue for me in my brewery build too. One way I minimised the leakage is to make sure the females are "in" connections only - using them for outs was hopeless (especially on the pump output). It's given me some pretty big limitations and is really bloody annoying...

    Perlick Flow Control Taps

    I ordered four plus shanks from morebeer.. then I got carried away and ordered everything else I need for my keezer setup, a bunch of other things I need, plus a bunch of other things I don't really need, and hey, there goes my all my savings. A word of warning though.. After I placed my order...

    Heating A Big Fridge

    I've seen mention elsewhere in the forum about these melting plastic.. does your 25W hit those kind of temps? do you need to hang it off hooks to keep it from contacting the fridge interior?

    Heating A Big Fridge

    i'm looking at picking up something like this.. i know a few people here use them and it seems really versatile as you can just run the cord around in whatever pattern you like. http://www.ozpetshop.com.au/product_info.php/products_id/322

    a mate knocked up the stand for me, and just HAD to bring it over the night before a uni exam.. it's taking all my willpower not to bolt on the pump, thermostat and plate chiller and give it a full water run. how the hell am i going to stay away from it for a whole week?
