Hi,
I have found that a beer that has really off flavors due to high fermentation temps or ferments that were stuck taste much better after a few months of sitting around. This is easy when using kegs though. I think the use of Cornie Kegs in brewing has been a real convenience. They are the old Coke and Pepsi soda kegs. They hold 3.5, 5, or 10 gallons. If you need a beer to sit around, it is nice to tap it and check it once in a while. The other nice thing about the kegs is that you do not have to be concerned about under or over carbonating the beer. You control it with forcing CO2 into the keg or letting it out. Once it is infected, you might as well make some tasty malt vinegar! I have not really ordered extract or grain through the mail, but there are some that will provide free shipping, if you buy enough. A few reputable online supplies are Williams Brewing http://www.williamsbrewing.com/Home_Brewing_C198.cfm?UserID=1102649&jses sionid=3030bd167b3aZh$93$3F http://morebeer.com/index.html Beer, Beer, and More Beer Phone: 951-779-9971 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keith -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron or Susan Denis Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 6:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Brewing I used to brew regularly but getting to shops that sell ingredients has become harder as the stores are much further away and shipping is too costly. I must admit I am a lazy brewer using prepared malt extracts and hopped malt extracts along with added hops, mostly pellitized hops. My preference is for dark ales, porters and stouts and occasionally a dark beer. I have had good luck with both a single fermentation method and a two stage fermentation approach. I generally have had excellent luck with only one batch which acquired a yeast infection turning the product into something one couldn't or at least probably shouldn't drink. rd To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
