The Pub / Re: Interesting stat

There's 2 entries for me too. One shows that I've never logged in. There should be a way to search for accounts that have never been used but were created more than 1 month ago, and delete those. Or maybe it's just not a priority.

Take a brand new, fresh out of the package toilet brush, wash it, then use it to stir a pot of chili. Then see how many people who saw you do that want to eat the chili.

Is there any way to search facebook ads, or do we just need to wait for it to show up?

« on: September 12, 2010, 09:09:02 PM »This time I plan on leaving the kits behind and am looking for a good recipe.Check out JZ and Palmer's book Brewing Classic Styles. I've used a few as starting points for some beers, and they've all been great.

All Grain Brewing / Re: umami water treatment
« on: September 12, 2010, 07:00:59 PM »Glutamic acid, which is what you get when you add water to MSG (you get sodium too) is an amino acid found in all cells. The yeast will make what they need. There won't be much floating free in the beer though, it will generally remain in the cell. And there won't be much that is in the amino acid form either. Most of it will be bound up in various peptides and proteins.What I am wondering is how the addition of mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) would affect the water chemistry if I add it to my water adjustments. Or maybe, I should just make sure my sodium levels are low and then add the MSG to the boil. Anybody have any ideas about this?
MSG + Water = SOUP!
Isn't msg already in beer due to fermentation byproducts?
<edit> I don't know enough about water chemistry to answer the original question.

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.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Nervous about my original gravity...
« on: September 12, 2010, 11:15:40 AM »
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?

The Pub / Re: Why Grammar is Important
« on: September 12, 2010, 10:49:54 AM »Nah, you're pluralizing a verb (poop). Deer poop in your yard, leaving deer poops.When deers poop, its usually poops.
So you're telling me proper grammar is... deers poops in my backyard?
