Conquer Chill Haze All good chefs know that the appearance and presentation of food is just as important as the flavor. If a steak is an unappetizing shade of gray, it will seldom be appreciated, even if it's delicious. It's the same with beer; a great deal of the perception and appreciation of beer comes from the way it looks. Everyone likes to see a sparkling, clear European pilsner, Oktoberfest, or pale ale, and even dark styles such as stout and porter look a lot better when they are clear black instead of muddy brown.

Shortening the Brew Day Q I am an all-grain brewer and I was thinking of ways to lessen the wrath from my wife over how long it takes to brew. One idea I came up with was to mash and sparge (which takes about two hours) the night before, collect the runoff and store it. Then the next day start my boil and be done with that in two hours. Will I run into any contamination or other problems?
A Whenever I am thinking about alternate approaches to brewing methods I usually ask myself if my idea or something akin has been done previously. To me there is comfort in precedence, especially in a craft as old as brewing. Your question does have precedence and an example of splitting wort production into two phases can be seen with malt extracts. But instead of prolonged storage of un-hopped wort you want to just briefly store it before resuming the brew day some eight to 12 hours later.

Build a Flight Serving Tray A variety of homebrewed beers on tap is a great way to impress your family and friends. But, when your guests have to drive home afterwards, they likely aren't going to be up for a pint of each selection. Enter the flight serving tray (or paddle). Conveniently holding sample size glasses, flight trays should be a part of every homebrewery that has a selection of brews to offer. Here, four homebrewers offer their own designs that you can use to build a flight tray of your own.

Highland Brewing Co.'s Oatmeal Porter clone Highland Brewing Company's Oatmeal Porter is more akin to an American porter than a British porter with oatmeal. It's big, bold, and roasty. Both in the nose and in the flavor, it's bittersweet chocolate and earthy coffee first with restrained grainy malt and subtle, yet distinctive, citrusy and resinous hops. Clean fermentation provides no esters to allow the roasted malt to shine forth. It's well attenuated as the semi-dry finish can attest with chocolate lingering for multiple minutes . . . decadent without the sugar. Despite the upfront roasted character, there's absolutely no astringency whatsoever coupled with a moderate, silky body as well as carbonation. Let this description guide your brew day towards this classic yet unique oatmeal porter.

Orval: A Study on Tradition, Innovation, & Craftsmanship There are not many breweries on this planet that evoke more reverence than Brasserie d'Orval. The Trappist brewery in the south of Belgium, just a few scant miles from the French border, is not as old as many of its other brewery compatriots but has captured the attention of drinkers from around the world thanks to its complex pale ale, served in a teardrop bottle.

Wild Yeast Pitch Rates Q Are pitching rates similar or different for "wild" type cultures (Lactobacillus, Brettanomyces, Pediococcus, etc.) to that of typical ale yeast?
A Pitching rates for wild yeast and bacteria are really all over the place.
Brettanomyces species can be used in place of Saccharomyces species for the primary fermentation of wort into beer. Brettanomyces has become a very popular "wild" yeast in certain brewing circles and imparts an interesting aroma and flavor to a wide range of beer styles.

Drill-Powered Carboy Cleaner I honestly can't pinpoint exactly what got me started in homebrewing. I was looking for a new hobby and literally stumbled into it. I kid you not, before I brewed a batch, before I had bought a single grain, I had already transformed a cooler into a mash lauter tun, made a copper immersion wort chiller, and modified a previously unused turkey fryer to make it brew-friendly. That's one of the things that attracted me to this wonderful hobby 2-½ years ago; the ability to personalize your equipment and the freedom of knowing that your process or setup may be different from everyone else's, but it works for you and you end up with good brew.
