All Things Food / Hard boiled eggs...what is your secret?

« on: March 22, 2010, 09:44:53 AM »

I love the hard boiled egg, but hate a hard to peel, messy egg.

Are there any proven cooking methods that make the shell easy and clean to remove?

What do you know? Thanks.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Best time to chuck in the aroma hops?

« on: March 22, 2010, 09:01:24 AM »

I hopburst almost all my IPA's.... except for dennys

,
because I have been on this wacko quest for maximum flavor and aroma
with my system.

I tried massive vs moderate flameout additions, and with all other things assumed equal, could not get a appreciable boost in aroma.

I also noticed that the hydrophobic lupulin from large flamout additions also washes up on shore during the first part of fermentation, sticks to the sides up high, and is lost to the mix.

See yellow ring around the collar

Personally, I have found huge flamouts to be a little wasteful, and add them at
dryhop instead.. aroma that can't be beat IMO.

Maybe someone can share with us

How long dino saurs were here on Earth...offgassing
vs
How long domestic cattle have been grumbling around?

A sence of time and its scale
is sometimes helpful when putting our world in perspective.

Safer than getting up on a ladder!

Hops work great for privacy screening, and if they are limited by height, the lateral branches really spread and fill in space.

RIP Mimi.

Sorry for your loss tubercle, but congratulations on another rescue.

Bostons really tickle my funny bone.

At least all ones I have met are full of character
