Subject: Spiced Winter Ale
Hi, all;
I have a question for the collective. I've made this a few times. The
flavor isn't bad, but not where I want it.
First, here's the recipe, partial mash.
2 lbs 2-row malted barley
8 ozs 40L crystal malt
8 ozs chocolate malt
3 lbs light liquid malt extract
1 oz sweet orange peel
2 tbs ground cinnamon
pkt dry ale yeast
I've never been able to get the orange and cinnamon to come through with
the intensity I want. So, what do you do?

From: "Spencer W. Thomas" <hbd at spencerwthomas.com>
Subject: Spiced winter ale question
Joseph asks how to get better orange and cinnamon intensity in his
spiced winter ale.
The obvious answer is "use more!"
Spicing beers is a tricky thing. It's sometimes really hard to predict
how the spices will come through at the end, after boiling and
fermentation. But there are ways...
First, you usually want to add your flavoring elements near the end of
the boil, or even after you've turned it off. The compounds that produce
the spice flavor and aroma are volatile, and will be driven off boiling.
Some flavors will remain, but the most delicate components, the ones
that really highlight the flavor, will be gone. Fermentation can also
drive out volatiles, which leads to the next tip.
I learned this one from Randy Mosher. I'm sure it's in more than one of
his books. The trick is to use neutral alcohol, such as vodka, to
extract flavors, producing flavor "tinctures". Most flavor and aroma
compounds are soluble in alcohol, even when they're not very soluble in
water. You can then adjust the result with precision. Steep each of your
flavoring elements separately in a small amount of vodka. You might put
a teaspoon of cinnamon into an ounce of vodka, for example. Then pour a
measured amount of beer, say 100ml or 4oz. Add the flavored vodka using
a medicine dropper until you get the intensity of flavor you want. Once
you've figured out the right ratio, you can scale up to the full batch.
Do this for each of your flavors, and you can nail the intensity and
balance quite easily.
Example: in 100ml of beer, you add 1ml of your cinnamon tincture to get
the cinnamon character that you're looking for. If you've got 5 gallons
(19 liters) of beer, you will need 190 ml of tincture to get the same
cinnamon flavor in the full batch. Using my example above, you'd steep
about 6.5 tsp of cinnamon in 200ml of vodka, then strain it through a
coffee filter into the beer.
One of the beauties of this technique is that you can use it to add
flavor after your beer has finished fermenting. So, if you start with a
recipe like Joseph's, and you aren't getting the intensity you wanted,
you can easily "pump it up" before bottling or kegging. You can even
spike individual glasses of beer just before you drink them.
I've used this technique a number of times, and it's never failed me.

Subject: Sparkling Mead Not Sparkling
Hoping some of you mead makers can help me. I brewed a basic mead on
10/22/11 using champagne yeast. Bottled the mead on 5/28/12. Starting
gravity was 1.105 and the final gravity was at 0.998. At bottling, I split
the batch so I could try my first sparkling mead. The 3 gallons of still
mead is doing quite well, but the 2 gallons of sparkling mead is not
carbonating. When I split the batch, I added 1 ounce of bottling sugar (no
stabilizers) with the hopes of a lightly carbonated sparkling mead.
Instead, I have a noticeably sweet still mead with just a hint of acid on
the tongue (as if carbonation started, but never completed). The mead is in
beer bottles (some capped, some flip-topped) and has been stored in my
basement for 7 months since bottling. The basement temperature is
consistently between 66-70 degrees F. Anyone ran across this before and
solved the sparkling mead not sparkling problem?
Thanks.

Hi Pat,
It's fairly common in OZ to use the SodaStream (SS) cylinders via
adapters; however I'm not sure that US SS cylinders would have the same
thread.
See this link for a photo of my portable setup:-

I have not filled a SS cylinder from a larger cylinder, however I
believe it can be done. Try searching paintball sites for the details.
Cheers,

Pat, I was wondering the same thing when I first saw the Sodastream

I've been
using those special carbonator caps for a while now, and our local guys at

Subject: Carbon Dioxide adapters for Small Tanks
Pat Babcock asked:
"Has anyone put together a rig to refill the little Cylinders from a
draft system tank? Also, wondering if anyone has figured out an
adapter to make those little cylinders useful for our draft systems?"
I can't help you with the Sodastream CO2 system or refilling it, but I did
make an "emergency" adapter which has a CGA 320 male carbon dioxide fitting
that I can mount my beer system regulator on that adapts to a 1/8" NPT
fitting on my son's paintball CO2 supply hose. I can get the paintball
cylinder refilled almost any time at a sports store here in town, even on
weekends. The local machine and welding supply store set me up with this
simple two part adapter which gives me some insurance that I will always have
enough CO2 around to dispense my beer at parties, etc. if my main tank is
getting uncomfortably low in gas. It is worth the ca. $10 investment, just
for the pace of mind. It may be possible to do the same thing with the soda
system canisters.
Good luck with the new soda system!! (I was looking at getting one of these
too!)

From: "Steve Johnson" <sjohnson3 at comcast.net>
Subject: Sodastream
Pat, I was wondering the same thing when I first saw the Sodastream
advertisement.
In particular, I was wondering about how it might be used to charge up a PET
bottle
for use with a liter or so of beer to take to our homebrew club meetings.
I've been
using those special carbonator caps for a while now, and our local guys at
Rebel Brewer
have found a source for stainless steel carbonator caps that have a much
longer
lifetime, apparently. But the Sodastream looked like it might have similar
applications.
I'll be eager to see if anyone responds to your query.

Subject: The Home Brew Digest, Inc. Update
Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager...
We received official notification that the IRS is assigning our Form 1023
to an agent for further development. While not the happy news we had hoped
for, it is at least indication that we are moving through the system. The
letter stated that this could result in an immediate approval once
assigned, a request for further information once assigned, or rejection. If
rejected, there is an appeal process, which we would likely pursue. Since
the IRS website still indicates that they're still assigning applications
received in February 2012, I don't expect to hear anything from them for
quite some time.
All the best!

NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.
Financial Projection as of 03 December 2012
*** Condition: Cautiously Optimistic ***
501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive
status 25 June 2012. Did not hear back within 90 days;
therefor, must assume that there are issues and our case
must be assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning
applications received in February 2012. Ours was received
in June. We will not have our status reinstated for the
2012 tax year. To current financials, HBD is officially
bankrupt in May. Due to recent political developments,
HBD.org will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws
once funding runs out.
Projected 2012 Budget $3191.79
Expended against projection $3137.96
Unplanned expenditures $ 331.88
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) $1282.62
As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged

Subject: The Home Brew Digest, Inc. Update
Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager...
We received official notification that the IRS is assigning our Form 1023
to an agent for further development. While not the happy news we had hoped
for, it is at least indication that we are moving through the system. The
letter stated that this could result in an immediate approval once
assigned, a request for further information once assigned, or rejection. If
rejected, there is an appeal process, which we would likely pursue. Since
the IRS website still indicates that they're still assigning applications
received in February 2012, I don't expect to hear anything from them for
quite some time.
All the best!
Patrick G. Babcock

Subject: Hard times at the ol' HBD...
Greetings, Beerlings - take me to your spare change...
As much as I hate doing so, I'm coming hat-in-hand to the HBD
community once again. As shown in the Digest header, we're in pretty
poor financial shape. Our Form 1023 was received by the IRS, but,
apparently, did not pass muster, and is, also apparently, being
assigned to an agent. The IRS has a pretty huge backlog, and is
currently working on forms submitted in February 2012. Ours was
submitted in June. Per their flow chart, We received their
acknowledgement of receipt, and must have filled out the correct form,
and included everything from their procedural checklist, or we would
have received it back - that much is good. Having had no
communications from them, I cannot say further. This situation is
preventing us from being eligible for at least two grants - grants
which I had hoped would preclude the necessity to send these "begging
letters" each year - but we are where we are. I cannot ascertain
whether donations made at this time are deductible. If approved for
reinstatement, the status is typically retroactive, but, again: I
cannot say what the future holds in this regard. I can say that, in
its current condition, the Board will be discussing dissolution
procedures at our next annual meeting.
If you can spare a few bucks and deductability is not a concern,
please consider a donation to the HBD Server Fund. You can donate via
check payable to Home Brew Digest, Inc. sent to Home Brew Digest PO
Box 871309, Canton, Mi 48187-6309. You can also donate via paypal to
serverfund at hbd.org. If doing using PayPal, please send it as
"personal" payment to avoid the fees charged by PayPal.
Thank you to all who have donated in the past. Without you, we
wouldn't be online to ask again. And thank you to those who will
donate now.
Cheers!
Patrick G. Babcock

I seem to remember from a decade ago that a simple acid-wash with tartaric
or phosphoric acid
will de-flocculate yeast. But if you have EDTA handy on your shelf why not
give it a go.

Subject: Hard times at the ol' HBD...
Greetings, Beerlings - take me to your spare change...
As much as I hate doing so, I'm coming hat-in-hand to the HBD
community once again. As shown in the Digest header, we're in pretty
poor financial shape. Our Form 1023 was received by the IRS, but,
apparently, did not pass muster, and is, also apparently, being
assigned to an agent. The IRS has a pretty huge backlog, and is
currently working on forms submitted in February 2012. Ours was
submitted in June. Per their flow chart, We received their
acknowledgement of receipt, and must have filled out the correct form,
and included everything from their procedural checklist, or we would
have received it back - that much is good. Having had no
communications from them, I cannot say further. This situation is
preventing us from being eligible for at least two grants - grants
which I had hoped would preclude the necessity to send these "begging
letters" each year - but we are where we are. I cannot ascertain
whether donations made at this time are deductible. If approved for
reinstatement, the status is typically retroactive, but, again: I
cannot say what the future holds in this regard. I can say that, in
its current condition, the Board will be discussing dissolution
procedures at our next annual meeting.
If you can spare a few bucks and deductability is not a concern,
please consider a donation to the HBD Server Fund. You can donate via
check payable to Home Brew Digest, Inc. sent to Home Brew Digest PO
Box 871309, Canton, Mi 48187-6309. You can also donate via paypal to
serverfund at hbd.org. If doing using PayPal, please send it as
"personal" payment to avoid the fees charged by PayPal.
Thank you to all who have donated in the past. Without you, we
wouldn't be online to ask again. And thank you to those who will
donate now.
Cheers!
Patrick G. Babcock

Subject: EDTA
EDTA is used to prevent coagulation of blood and does so by chelating
calcium (as does EGTA) so it stands to reason that if yeast flocculation
cannot take place unless calcium is present those chemicals should work
for yeast too. But I've never noticed that yeast fails to flocculate in
starters ior beers made with low calcium water. No calcium might be a
different matter.

Subject: Counting flocculated yeast
When making yeast starters, I usually ferment these to completion, allow the
yeast to flocculate, decant the spent wort/beer, and pitch only the yeast. I
usually try to anticipate when they have almost finished the starter
fermentation and grab a sample for counting the cells, but I often forget and
end up with flocculated yeast. When the yeast have flocculated heavily, it is
really impossible to get a reliable count. I would like to suspend the
flocculated yeast as thoroughly as possible, take a sample of this, treat the
sample to deflocculate them, and then count them. Would treating the sample
with EDTA or EGTA do the trick? How do the pros do it?

My wife and I are going to Disneyland the week of Thanksgiving.
Are there any good beer stores or brewpubs fairly close?
If I can find some decent beer there it truly be the "Happiest Place on Earth."

Subject: Beer near Disneyland
The Bruery is not too far from Disneyland. If you like Belgian-style
beers, you should definitely check it out. As a brewery under California
law, they have a tasting room (not a "bar", not a restaurant) with
somewhat limited hours: Monday-Thursday: 5pm - 10pm. Friday: 2pm - 10pm,
Saturday & Sunday: 12pm -10pm. I was there a couple years ago. At that
time, you paid $10 and got a small snifter and 4 or 5 tokens, each of
which could be redeemed for one fill of the snifter. (You got to keep
the snifter.)

Subject: Re: Roasted Coconut Porter
Scott Dunn asked for tips on brewing with coconut. I haven't done it
myself, but the current version of BYO has an article on brewing with
nuts. You might get some inspiration or tips from that:
http://byo.com/component/resource/article/2611-brewing-gone-nuts
Also, I remember a Basic Brewing Radio podcast with the brewer at
Maui. I don't recall if they talked about their coconut porter in
there but it might be worth a listen:
http://media.libsyn.com/media/basicbrewing/bbr11-15-07maui.mp3
While looking up that link I see that they he interviewed Maui more
recently as well:

Good luck.
