good point
:)

It's worth saving though, if you think you're going to use it more than once.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: W2112/W4021 Combination?
« on: September 12, 2010, 04:37:11 PM »
As a matter of fact, when I've tried using champagne yeast I've been less that pleased with the results.  Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems to make beer taste less "beer like".
That was my experience too, at least the one time I co-pitched champagne yeast with something else.

I'm smoking a leg of lamb.  I wonder if it will be noticeable?  :)

Thanks for the info, Tom!
Forgot to tell you, apparently it is open.  Some friends of mine were there a few weeks ago.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Nervous about my original gravity...

Just give it some really vigorous shakes - if the yeast aren't fermenting, there will be air in the headspace that the yeast can use.  If they are fermenting, the headspace will be more or less purged already and shaking won't cause any problems.

What yeast did you pitch, and how much?  Dried/liquid, if dry how many grams was the package?

When deers poop, its usually poops.

So you're telling me proper grammar is...  deers poops in my backyard?  ???
Nah, you're pluralizing a verb (poop).  Deer poop in your yard, leaving deer poops.  ;D

For those who cut their own wood for smoking, where do you stand on bark/no bark on the wood?  I left it on for the madrona I smoked with last weekend, and I just cut up some plum and don't feel like taking off the bark.  Any opinions?

If you can find four deers, it would be up to you if you want to shoot them or not :)

When I was in school too many decades ago, I was taught that the plural for deer was deer, not deers.  
Deer Singular: "That deer is eating the tree."
Deer Plural: "Look at all the deer eating the tree."  Not "look at all the deers eating the tree."

So why do we insist in drinking beers? It must be that majority Denny showed in his graph. The same rule is followed by the word beer or any other word with two ee.  
Beer Singular: "I'd like to have a beer please."
Beer Plural: "Let's go out and have some beer." not "Let's go out and have some beers."

Thank you for indulging our needs for some grammar.
It's both.  Beer can be used as both a mass noun, like furniture, so you'd say "let's go have some beer".  It is also a singular noun, so you can have a beer or four beers.  You wouldn't say to a bartender "I'd like four beer".  Well, I guess you might and you'd get what you wanted, but she might look at you funny.  :)

So the club girls going commando are actually wearing micro-kilts? :)

It's not "commando" in a kilt. It's "regimental."

I'll have to remember that.  so commando is what, just for pants and shorts?  If you go commando in a skirt you're actually just regimental in your kilt?  I'm really just trying to understand. :)
