There is another, more advanced technique out there called kräusening (see Mr. Wizard to read more on that), but most every brewer uses one of those three techniques. If you're looking to learn more on bottle conditioning, check out this article. For more on spunding read this. But in this piece we're talking about forced carbonation, which relies on an outside source of carbon dioxide to push the gas into solution. Read more Ask Mr. Wizard Effect of Light on Beer Q We all know that light is bad for beer, but is all light equally bad? Are sunlight, incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lights all the same? And how much light does it take to damage wort and beer? Do I have to rack and bottle in the dark? I am also curious whether pale and dark colored beers are affected equally by light?   Read More Project Etch Your Kettle: Projects If you've ever tried to figure out your mash efficiency, monitor your evaporation rate, or compare your boil volumes to what your recipe estimated, you very quickly find a need to measure your brew kettle volumes at various stages during the brew day.

Much confusion about drinking beer and losing weight exists and, thanks to a recent diagnosis of type II diabetes, I have become very interested in the carbohydrate content and calories in my beer. My brewing software provides the estimated grams of carbohydrate and calories per pint of homebrew, which started me down a path of wanting to learn more about how calories and carbohydrates in beer can be estimated. Read more Ask Mr. Wizard Krausening For Homebrewers Q I've been playing around with fermenting under pressure using a spunding valve and now want to start kräusening. Is that something worth messing around with at home? I am not really clear what this method is and what it is supposed to do for my beer. A liter for your thoughts!   Read more Project Club Kegerator What would prompt a group of homebrewers to build a system that can dispense 11 different beers at the same time? For the past 10 years, the Carolina BrewMasters (a homebrew club from Charlotte, North Carolina) has organized a beer festival known as "Charlotte Oktoberfest." In 2007, over 6,000 beer lovers attended and sampled from over 240 homebrewed and commercial beers.
