Hi Everyone,
I thought it would be helpful to create a heat map view of the composition of hop oil for the different varieties of hops to better spot differences. Most of what I have seen are stacked bar graphs or tables which while useful make it hard to spot differences or compare. So I...
Just got done making a beer advent calender for a good friend. Of course, I had to make one for myself to ensure the quality :) Salute!

Has anyone used mature hops in brewing recipes? It looks like it might have health benefits :)
Matured hop extract reduces body fat in healthy overweight humans: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study.
It is that time of the year again. A buddy of mine said he just purchased his beer advent calendar. I had no idea such a thing existed. So I quickly went on line to check it out. I found three sources so far and a DIY idea that looks good. It also looks like there is a premade box you can buy...

De Struise Brouwers uses it regularly to make their beers.
In terms of origin, it was meant to suggest origin style and I have changed the title to origin similarity. More than one resource besides this table...

So, I would only get it to 15 PSI. With suitable thickness, I might be still tempted to give it a try. The question for me is would it be air tight enough to hold CO2 to prevent oxidation, maintain carbonation and dispense adequately.
Ever wondered if a square keg would work? This clever patent shows that it can be done. No indication how much pressure it could safely handle. It would need to stay less than 5 ATM with a good pressure release valve and be safely tested first...
