It’s economical on the water, but you still need energy to freeze them. On holiday, no means to calculate how much ice you really would need to chill down to 20 degrees Celsius per liter of hot wort.

https://beerandgardeningjournal.com/easy-aqua/ You need to search a bit, but this is one of the simplest and pragmatical articles about mineral additions. No need to understand or calculate RA. Chris Colby is a real scientist.

With speculaas spices, that’s more like Lebkuchen beer.

One of our neighbours had it, and my wife probably caught it from her, and I also caught it. Not very ill, slight fever, bit of a runny nose and irritated lower respiratory tract. One of my colleagues had it a month ago.

For your brewhouse efficiency this should not make (much) difference. Since pellets are just compressed cones, expect them to absorb the same amount of liquid (which is really what influences your BE: all wort that is absorbed can not give its sugars to the fermentation). For handling and...

I got this 2018-11-16 1.064 1.018 and an average attenuation of 73% over four brews. M20 Bavarian Wheat Average: 73% Nr brews: 4 Min: 71% Max: 76% Deviation: 2% So, depending upon how the mash was executed, you could indeed have 1.020. Is there still life in the airlock? Edit...

I always work in two steps over two evenings. 1st mash and run-off, then boil for five minutes. Put lid on immediately after, pull over the lid and the pot a heat resistant plastic bag, held with a rubber band to keep it airtight. The steam from the hot wort will desinfect the bag, and when it...

Ever since I had a problem with the MJ M15 (very long slow fermentation after a relatively quick start), which did the same (frothing), I take my time to let everything ferment out, and that could be more than two weeks. In the case of the M54 I decided to treat it like a real lager and kept it...

I used it to brew a Stout/Baltic Porter. Came out nice. Probably not so clean as a real lager yeast, but the maltiness and roast tastes are noticeable enough.

Hm, it seems to me that mixing milled grist with water and keeping it for a whole night between 20° and 30° looks like a biological disaster waiting to happen.

8,33 l of my blond abbey beer Blinde Hendrik (Blind Henry) version 10, with St.-Bernardus yeast Total 4142(,33) l :-p

My goto yeast for barley wines.

I alaways acidify my sparge water to a pH of 5,5. What I noticed was that I get better coagulation of proteins in the boil vs. not acidifying my sparge water. The end result is that my beer doesn't have any cold haze anymore.

My wife and I sold our CD collection a couple of months ago. We only kept a few. I still have my collection of vinyl from the 80's, and my daughter (20 in a couple of weeks) only has a collection of vinyl. It gives a kind of rest, putting an LP on the turntable. That is something for the...

For Duvel, the M41 is good, because it finishes really low. Use a combination of Pilsner malt, wheat malt and 10% white sugar (sucrose). This is for the colour. Bitter to 30-33 IBU with noble hops (or EKG). The impression I got from Brugse Zot, is that it does not attenuate so low as Duvel, and...

All kidding aside, I know already from a whole time ago that sexuality is a spectrum. It is maybe possible to put some labels on some parts of the spectrum, but labelling every part of the spectrum would mean to invent an infinity of labels. Labels are jargon. My experience is that jargon...

Isn't that an arborsexual?

I thought you meant New Wave 😋

I was only one year old, but it was definitely published in what I would call "popular history books", or popular historical overview books. I knew about Donald Campbell from a quartets game featuring all kinds of speed record breaking vehicles (featuring several from Campbell?). And I liked to...

I think that was actually the gist of Roe vs. Wade, that what happens between a doctor and his patient, is nobody else's business.
