Subject: What is Weizenbraumalz hell

I have a recipe for an Oktoberfest that calls for Weizenbraumalz hell. I
gather it is a wheat malt but I can't get any more information than that.
All google brings up are German language sites and the translate function
doesn't give me enough info.

What might be a good substitute?

Thanks,

Pete

Subject: triangle test

Some kind fellow. ( could it be Louis Bonham?) once sent me a table for
evaluating triangle tests. It was simply the number of participants within a
group, who needed to "test positive", in which to consider the results
significant.

I very cleverly buried that information within an ex-ex-ex computer which I
am loathe to revive.

Time for the next generation to move on, and make 'spurments. My son has a
tasting with just over 25 participants "triangulating" this weekend.

A chart would be nice. Particularly if it, e.g. dilineated 0.05 from 0.01
significance levels, or better yet gave the exact "p=" for each number of
correct responses, according to "n" participants.

Anyone who can help me with this, should know in advance that their help is
well appreciated-

remember.... "science is science, and art is art, and brewing is a most
enchanting marriage of the two"

Dr. Pivo
