I like to grill the pineapple. And don't forget the chopped onion and cilantro.

Anybody have to bail out of the NHC this year? I am hoping to pick up a last minute ticket. Thanks.

I like to backload hops for a saison, so I would just save them all for flameout.

Kegging and Bottling / Re: How Full Should We Fill Our Kegs?
« on: June 17, 2012, 10:40:39 AM »
There is a seam near the top of the keg that I think is the 5 gallon mark. I typically try to fill it up to there, and keep it below the level of the gas dip tube.

Yeah, is it ironic or not ironic that you are hastening (or not hastening) the decline of the English language by linking to an online definition of irony?

Brett primary fermentation have a longer lag time than Sachharomyces. They can also take much longer to complete fermentation.

There was an interview on Fresh Air today with the author of a new book called "The Art of Fermentation". The interview wasn't that great, but the book sounds pretty cool.
The creative space between fresh and rotten food.
I haven't experimented much with this sort of fermentation, but it sounds like fun.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: 100% Brett

Brettanomyces is a yeast. Lactobacillus and Pediococcus are bacteria. If your cleaning and sanitizing regimen kills off all of the Saccharomyces (brewers) yeast, then it should do the same for the Brettanomyces. Bacteria can be a little more difficult to kill off, and it is probably a good idea to keep separate plastic equipment when using these microbes.
That being said, it isn't that hard to have a separate set of hoses to use for Brettanomyces, and it is cheap insurance.

They said it was after UPS picked it up. It had some UPS stickers on it that send return to Postal Annex because of unauthorized shipment of alcohol. I kind of wonder if the people at the store opened it, though. The woman there kind of gave me a hard time.

Yeah, the strange thing was that none of the bottles were open so they really couldn't have known that it was beer for sure. I guess I was kind of dumb to ship the bottles in a box that had 12 beer glasses in it originally, and had pictures of beer on the outside. 
I talked to a friend last night who does shipping for a big winery in town, and she said that you should be able to ship alcohol, as long as you pay extra for an over 21 receiving signature. Anyway, she said she would ship them for me today, which will get them there tomorrow.

General Homebrew Discussion / UPS returned my box of NHC beer
« on: June 06, 2012, 03:49:36 PM »
I just got a call from the shipping place that UPS inspected my box and they returned it because of unauthorized shipment of alcohol. 
Luckily I have enough time to resend it, but does anyone have any advice for how to ship it without it getting returned?

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: Is Secondary necessary with fruit?
« on: June 06, 2012, 06:59:29 AM »
My only worry about adding it to primary would be having enough head space to accommodate the volume of the fruit puree and the reactivated fermentation.

Hey Harbicide, what was the ambient temperature of the 25 gallons of lager?
