What are 'wrong things'?Most people are skeptical about the wrong things and gullible about the wrong things.
The opposite of the right things.What are 'wrong things'?
I agree.The opposite of the right things.
The last word should go to Dr Marshall Schott's findings in his experiment.

Leave Brulosophy to the realms of the gullible.
When you read what Brulosophy has to say take everything with a grain of salt, he is a psychologist so he knows how to manipulate readers.
Precisely you are catching on.I agree.
Always to be expected when Sadsack gets involved.Wow my query looks pathetically simple in this debate which has morphed from.brewing science to philosophy!

Yeah. This is the brewing science bit. The philosophy involves questions like wtf does it matter anyway? What are the moral implications of buying drinking water in 8-litre PETs? What is the ontological status of a terpene that hasn't yet been severed from its glycoside precursor?Wow my query looks pathetically simple in this debate which has morphed from.brewing science to philosophy!
You're right. It's Haile Selassie's birthday on Tuesday so I'll dedicate the day to rolling up my hops and dusting off my Roots collection.An Ankoù ... Nah smoke them they should be good to go now![]()
Re para 2 I wasn't querying the expertise but lamenting the deterioration in tone of one or two of the responses to your posts.Notwithstanding the aforemention. I have two 500g bags of leaf (no, not that leaf, regrettably) one each of French Fuggles and French Goldings, both of which had lost their vacuum. They have remained in my brewery which ranges from about 12C in the winter to 22C in the summer, with nothing more than a cardboard box to protect them. I suspect they have evolved into the kind of hops the Belgians like to add to their lambics. I also have some 8 litre PETs which will be ideal for 6 litre batches.
So I intend carrying out the following experiment: 2 identical batches of 5 litres of a 1045 best bitter, Using the declared alpha acid content with a 25% utlilisation since I have no way of measuring the residual alpha acid. With one batch, I'll mash hop using the required amount of hops to give me 40 IBUs. The hops will be contained in a large bag and will also be used in the boil. The second batch will use the same amount of hops straight into the boil. I'll use K-97 at it works to liberate both terpenes and thiols. No late hops.
Objectives: To see whether hop mashing produces more bitterness than otherwise and to see whether the flavour of these knackered hops is improved by hop mashing. Im not interested to trying to improve stability and I don't think I'd be using enough hops to even notice this.

Thanks @micklupulo , I didn't mean any offence, it was just banter. You have to give as good as you get on this forum.Re para 2 I wasn't querying the expertise but lamenting the deterioration in tone of one or two of the responses to your posts.

And a lot of this applies to brewing one expert says this but can always find another expert to contradict it.Having worked in scientific research for 35 years I know there is a mountain of total ******** out there and some genuine research. Scientists will take money to research any old **** to keep themselves employed. Other will propose using a hobby to create a scientific study for a thesis. Some people actually believe that homeopathic preparations work toothe art of the power of persuasion can make something totally bogus into a effiacious medicine. The same applies to beer I think placebo effect is strong with the aficionados.
Yip breast wadders required for the ********![]()
