General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Opinion about posting Jamil's recipes

« on: February 09, 2012, 08:00:38 pm »

Seriously though, I can see posting a recipe or two with attribution to the author(s) (JZ/JP) as a sign of respect and giving them credit where it is due. Even without permission.

But to post them all on a website would be an act of extreme douchery- regardless if it was legal or not. IMO we owe a lot to JZ and JP especially and all the others who have taken the time and effort to publish their experiences and knowledge.

Best answer so far.

I also think that he can legally copy the ingredient lists for some recipes, but the more he copies, the closer he is to infringing on Jamil's 'collection' of recipes. The text accompanying each recipe offering procedures and tips for the best result are more likely to fall under copyright.

Kegging and Bottling / Re: HopRocket Randall Foam & Stopped

Dogfish's original Randall (a water filter housing filled with hops) foamed like crazy. It was years before the made the improved one, but it is complicated.

First, leave it in primary for two weeks to clean up acetylaldehyde. You can dry hop in primary or in the keg (put hops in a stainless tea ball) in the keg.

Also, the biggest error I've seen from new contestants is not realizing that the style guidelines are fairly strict. A rye IPA should not be entered as an IPA since it doesn't meet those guidelines, it should be in specialty with IPA listed as a base and rye and citra hops listed as specialty ingredients. In many competitions, judges don't see the recipe unless they ask for it - and they probably won't do that too often because it is time consuming.

I am talking about a kegerator for serving beer, not fermenting. I did change the settings last week after reading responses - 37 with a 3 degree differential, and I stuck the probe in a block of foam.

Most chemistry labs have something like that for drying glassware. If you had the wallspace, it would be great for beer bottles.

RV - maybe, but boat? The yeast would never settle.

The Pub / Victory cameo in Match.com commercial

« on: February 06, 2012, 07:06:19 am »

I was watching the brain melter the other day and thought I saw a Victory tap handle in the background of a match.com commercial. I did, I DID see a Victory tap handle in the background of a match.com commercial.

I think we'd all agree that if your first date is at a bar that serves Victory, things will turn out above average.

www.beveragefactory.com as full setup kits with different options to convert refrigerators. You might be able to piece it together cheaper, but that will give you an idea of total cost.

Didn't see that one, but that show is simultaneously insanely stupid and hilarious.

Just as the venue. Or if the bartender friend has full control over the beverage station, then there shouldn't be any worries.

Two things happen. You pressure decreases with temperature and more CO2 in the headspace dissolves into the beer.

We're going to a party and bringing a spinach/artichoke dip made with greek yogurt. We made some last week and had it with homemade beer bread, but I think we'll skip the breadmaking.

Every once in a while a batch will be extra foamy. It's surely not because it is all-grain.

Thanks Jason & Ron,
Any other settings I should care about? I didn't expect it to have so many options.
