Beyond Oak: Tips from the Pros We've used many exotic woods at Cigar City Brewing over the years. The first one we used back in the pilot days was Spanish cedar. We initially infused it into an early prototype for Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout. We were pleasantly surprised by the resinous character that it provided to the already existing forward roasted barley expression. They seemed to pair well. As we continued to experiment with it, we began trialing it in IPAs.

Bottling from a Keg Q We all (hopefully) know not to bottle-carbonate beers beyond a certain volume, such as 2.5–3 volumes. Say that you have a highly carbonated brew (3.5–4 volumes) that you force carbonated in a keg and now want to bottle from the keg. If you bottle into a regular 12 oz. bottle will there be any issues with the CO2 coming out of solution if the bottle is at room temperature? Or can you pull this off safely since the beer is already carbonated vs. what happens as yeast eats sugar when you bottle-carbonate?
A Most bottled beers do fall into the 2.5 to 3.0 volume carbonation range, but there are styles that are typically carbonated to a much higher level. Many Belgian styles and German hefeweizens are normally carbonated to a higher level, sometimes pushing the 6 volume mark, and Champagne often times contains more than 8 volumes of carbon dioxide. The most important thing when bottling beers with higher carbon dioxide levels is selecting glass bottles that have a pressure rating aligned with the pressure developed in the bottle. Violating this basic rule results in exploding bottles; a safety problem and a product loss problem all in one.

Wooden Two-Tier Brew Stand I have been brewing beer at home for about seven years, using equipment that has gotten progressively larger or more sophisticated. Last year, I wanted to make my brewing process more time efficient and get away from using crates, boxes, and my workbench to achieve the three tiers I needed for a gravity fed system. To help solve some of these problems I decided that I would upgrade to a larger kettle and build a two-tiered brew stand that, when placed next to my propane burner, becomes a true three-tier, gravity-fed brew stand with the hot liquor cooler on the highest tier and the mash tun on the middle tier.

A Harmony of Fruit and Honey Meads containing fruit are a perpetually hot topic amongst home meadmakers as well as being a huge part of the commercial mead conversation. Taking what we know about making mead from just honey and then adding fruit doesn't seem to be all that complex of a leap, but I assure you that the adventure of smashing fruit and honey together is way more interesting than just saying, "I made fruit mead!"

Iodine Starch Testing and Defining Mash Conversion Q I've been brewing for a few years now and have very recently joined up with BYO. In the last few days I've reviewed the Double IPA recipe listings, which look really good and I'm gearing up to start my first clone attempt. In the instructions is the phrase "until the enzymatic conversion is complete." Problem is I've never heard that phrase before so could you help by explaining what it means and advising how I can tell when it's complete.
A Welcome to BYO where we are committed to providing current, helpful, and technically sound brewing advice to our readers! It's always nice seeing great homebrewing questions from all parts of the world and we thank you for the query from down under. Now, onto the question at hand: Mash conversion.

Build a Fermentation Chamber As homebrewers, we know that the steps in crafting a fine homebrew typically involve recipe formulation, gathering ingredients and at least several hours of brewing time to create the precious wort. Once we pitch the yeast to that wort, the next step in the process is fermentation. Controlling the fermentation temperature is critical to ultimately creating a quality beer. Mother Nature (and the interior of most of our homes) cannot be relied on to provide the consistent temperatures required for optimal fermentation. The premise is simple: Control the beer's fermentation temperature and the resulting homebrew will be better and more consistent.
