Beeriety is on Hiatus

sostark — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:48:58 -0400

As of today Beeriety is going on indefinite hiatus. Since we began the site in 2008 we’ve had a lot of fun and learned a lot about beer, but it’s time for the team to take a break and work on some other projects.

Thanks to everyone who has kept up with us over the years. It’s been a real pleasure.

Cheers,

The Beeriety Team

The always-whimsical Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project mixed things up this past weekend at Somerville, MA’s annual Fluff Fest, where they provided marshmallow fluff beer toppings in one of two flavors: malted or dry-hopped. The Fluffelmousse was apparently a big hit and serves as just another example of how fun and creative the PT crew can be!

Hi, I just got a home brew kit with glass carboy and plastic bottling bucket. I am incredibly worried about sanitation! Is it safe to use tap water to rinse my equipment, and is tap water safe to use in the wort? I live in San Francisco, so our water is pretty clean and we drink it straight from tap.

American tap water is generally speaking fine to use in your homebrew. The only thing you really need to worry about is if it has any off flavors or smells to it, from chlorine etc., because your homebrew will have those too. If you’re concerned about it you can always filter your water, or just buy some from the store.

Sanitation is important but as long as you use whatever sanitizer you got from the brew store as directed you should be fine. If you have any questions you can always consult John Palmer’s excellent “How To Brew” which is free online.

Most importantly don’t forget the cardinal rule, coined by the father of modern homebrewing, Charlie Papazian: “Relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew.”
