Some of the funds I raise from the sale of these items will go towards worthy Colon Cancer charities such as the <a href="http://cca.convio.net/site/TR/Events/General?pxfid=6860&fr_id=1040&pg=fund">Blue Note Fund</a> or the <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/cca/site/Donation2?df_id=1420&1420.donation=form1">Colon Cancer Alliance</a> . I will be covered for 53 hours out of work which almost gets me to July when Aflac kicks in if I am out another 7 days. </span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">In other words, things are going to be tight. And with furlough days already hitting our wallet, and two vehicles about broken down, things are really tight. Fortunately, we found a van for Sarah so we can get back and forth to Boston reliably. With my check engine light on, little left on my brakes, and a leaf spring shackle gone (spring lies on the bottom of the truck bed), we are just waiting for the other shoe to fall.</span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">I don't like handouts so I found a way that will help me, help others, and raise awareness of colon cancer. The prices are higher than I would normally expect, but some of it goes to a cause, and the remainder will be helping me and my family. Colon Cancer is a totally treatable and beatable disease when colonoscopies are performed when they should be. If someone in your family had colon cancer, get colonoscopy as early as possible. If nobody in your family had colon cancer, get a colonoscopy as early as possible. Removal of a polyp is nothing, letting it turn into cancer because it wasn't found will turn your world upside down.</span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">My Etsy shop for Colon Cancer Awareness:</span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.etsy.com/shop/ScottSchluter</span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Check back often, many sizes and designs are in the pipeline. </span></b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">If you are local I am also working on some Colon Cancer Awareness Angels. I will be able to send these via mail once we figure out the costs. For now, local pickup or delivery only at $5 each. I will be adding halos to them. The hangers are long enough to put around a rearview mirror or can be shortened to hang in a window. I thank you if you feel inclined to help me or others. I hope you learned how easy it is to potentially save your life by getting a simple procedure. I hope you spread the word. </span></b></div><br />

My CEA count is <2.5 ng/ml which is cancer free level. As I understand it, that is good news that this will be an easy treatment. There is a 3" cancer mass in my Hepatic Flexure of my colon. Just under the right rib cage. They found a spot on my liver but are pretty sure it is a harmless hemangioma, but ordered and MRI to be safe. Next step, MRI, then first consult with the best cancer people in the world. Basically, you can pencil me in as another survivor of colon cancer. Here is an updated label where I added the colon cancer awareness ribbon.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I brewed up Sima in honor of May Day. 5 lemons zested, de-pithed, seeded, and chopped up. 1 cup white, 1 cup brown sugar. 2-1/4 gallons of water boiled. Add lemons and sugar to the water and stir to dissolve. Pitch it all into the fermenter for 48 hours. I pitched mine onto part of a Nottingham yeast cake.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Do you pay attention to the school lunch menus of your children? You should. GARBAGE food is being fed to our kids. Jamie wants to change that. There is no reason that healthy meals made from whole foods, not processed, can't be fed to our kids. This isn't about going vegan. This isn't about tofu burgers. This isn't about healthy but tasteless food. This is about french fries not qualifying as a vegetable. This is about white milk instead of flavored milk that has as much sugar as soda. This is about good, wholesome, flavorful food. This is about teaching our kids how to eat right...what the original purpose of the school lunch program was.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Sadly, for many children, this is the only chance at a healthy meal all day. </span><br />

A:light caramel, two finger head. Very clear.<br />
S:sweet, faint lemon<br />
T:citrusy and sweet in the front, then a light bitter after taste<br />
M:thin, watery, mid carbonation bite<br />
D:light quaffer, would be refreshing on a hot day, nice and flavorful<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my Glen Charlie Pond Grapefruit Pale Ale. It is in the cellar to drink.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>A:</b>Pale straw yellow, three finger head subsides to one finger of fluffy large bubbles. <br />
<b>S:</b>sweet, fruity<br />
<b>T:</b>subtle but strong grapefruit flavor. Not the overly sweet flavor but the sour tangy part. A little sweet but the tart marries well with the hops bitter at the end.<br />
<b>M:</b>thin, watery, light carbonation bite.<br />
<b>D:</b>VERY drinkable, this would be awesome on a hot day. A quaffer but be careful it isn't as light as it tastes. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the Sumpfhaus Bruan. It is bottle conditioning.</span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>Scott Schluterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18248718676668360373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355941499523482721.post-90745281732607016592010-03-06T06:13:00.000-08:002010-03-06T06:13:55.113-08:00Harvesting Yeast Experiment<img align="left" alt="J" src="http://jhische.com/dailydropcap/J-4-cap.png" title="Daily Drop Cap by Jessica Hische" /> <span style="font-size: large;">ust attempted to harvest yeast from a Dogfish Head 120 and Goose Island Sophie. I believe the DFH is Wyeast 1187, Ringwood Ale. I have no idea what Goose Island is but it is a Saison yeast. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I did:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Prep.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Boiled three baby food jars and caps. Took jars out full of water with boiled tongs. Scooped water into jars to overflowing with boiled tongs. Put caps onto jars with boiled tongs. Screwed caps on and let them cool down. I put them in the fridge later.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why? Sterilize the jars and get water with low oxygen concentration to make sleepy yeasts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As soon as I poured the beer out into a mug (save the last couple swigs with all the yeast dregs), I placed a wine sampler cork onto the top and put the bottle back into the fridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Harvest</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Uncapped two baby food jars with water. Uncorked beer bottles. Poured one baby food jar into the beer then a few extra splashes from the second baby food jar. Swirled the water in the beer bottle. Dumped the beer bottle contents into the baby food jar, overflowing it. Screwed the baby food jar cap on. Placed into the fridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">We'll see what happens. The Sophie is pale cloudy and the DFH is yellow cloudy so there is definitely yeasts in there.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the Ringwood.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZEqiJzV9yO5qbiwBID8xiU3jh_0NbKyQNaooMxqc_hoei5F3cE1xj_NxQOsajYA3WfhV-audenvsE37t-klHvny0iPxTbnHYZQ8NonlvmkyVh8dcdHmUvCikyLnGAHkX4voOA9CwAZc/s1600-h/P1080228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZEqiJzV9yO5qbiwBID8xiU3jh_0NbKyQNaooMxqc_hoei5F3cE1xj_NxQOsajYA3WfhV-audenvsE37t-klHvny0iPxTbnHYZQ8NonlvmkyVh8dcdHmUvCikyLnGAHkX4voOA9CwAZc/s320/P1080228.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkKeKaWA4HRoS_Rjv9qAmRqpIN6U2qPgsRBcyAukdVwSPrG0E0NP4of7DQCg8IQbzUAplR4B0NBgQNFZHrNQoDSmYLKkD-tHDi4xfT5jYlpMSUqIk4gVp6zV5SbtPWqtjF2rWtnLOaDU/s1600-h/P1080230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkKeKaWA4HRoS_Rjv9qAmRqpIN6U2qPgsRBcyAukdVwSPrG0E0NP4of7DQCg8IQbzUAplR4B0NBgQNFZHrNQoDSmYLKkD-tHDi4xfT5jYlpMSUqIk4gVp6zV5SbtPWqtjF2rWtnLOaDU/s320/P1080230.JPG" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

To me it makes sense as electricity is cheaper than propane and it would allow indoor brewing. There are many things to consider though and right now I have more questions and choices than answers. I like to write things out, it helps make things clearer for me. Perhaps someone(s) out there can help?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;">What is electric brewing?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Using electric elements to heat your water like these:</span><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.cedarcreeknetworks.com/heatstick.htm">http://www.cedarcreeknetworks.com/heatstick.htm</a></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/06/13/reducing-the-gas-by-converting-your-boil-kettle-to-electric/">http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/06/13/reducing-the-gas-by-converting-your-boil-kettle-to-electric/</a></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">The first Question.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am a brew in a bagger. I have a 15 gallon aluminum pot that has not be drilled. I'd like to heat mash water and boil with electric. I can see making a bracket to hold an electric stick into my mash water while the bag is in and have no problems, but if I was mashing and wanted to do a mash out, could the stick be used in the mash or would I be burning grains? If that were a problem, I could see a screen device around the element keeping the grains out but allowing for contact with the liquid in kettle.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">Assuming BIAB and electric can be worked out, next questions.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">120V?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">As I understand it, if I went 120V, I would need three or more 2000W heat sticks to get a boil. That means separate electric outlets and probably several heavy duty extension cords to bring the electricity to the brew pot. Perhaps I could get that to work at home, but I often brew with my club and I would like to be able to do the electric wherever I went, giving the host $5 to cover costs or something. No more lugging propane tank and burner has a nice sound to it.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">or 240V?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">If I went 240V, one 5500W would do my work. At home, no problem, unplug the dryer and plug in my electric setup and brew in my basement laundry area which is conveniently located next to my brewing supplies in my workshop. On the road, most people would have a dryer plug I could access, but we'd likely be brewing outside. Also, except for the winter, it would often be preferable to be brewing outside at my own home. So an extremely heavy duty extension cord would be in order, no? And at the probable lengths needed....<span style="font-weight: bold;">$</span> ouch. </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">Thoughts.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I guess the best thought is to forget portability of the electric and use my propane burner when not at home. I would think the 240V would be the best solution, but complexity goes up a bit and I haven't found a good instruction set with wiring schematics and pictures I can follow. That setup on Brewer's Friend looks like what I'd want to do, minus drilling holes in my kettle. I was wondering if there were a way to also use the temperature control portion of it to control my freezer fermentation chamber. Could that portion of it be 120V so a standard outlet could be used? Also, perhaps the Brewer's Friend setup could be done in steps. Make a 5500W heat stick to use without the controls then later add them?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:180%;">Resume.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Now for my electrical comprehension. I was an avionics technician for the Army National Guard. I can crimp, I can solder, I understand the dangers of electricity and how to be safe. I did not design things. I did not wire up new things. My work was 90% DC current, and 75% Huey 20% Blackhawk 5% other helicopters. Plenty of stereo installations. In other words, I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to do this on my own.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Any thoughts?
