Re: Boise Weekly's Coldest Beer

Since for two years in a row the coldest beer has been in Kuna, and this year two of the top 10 were in Kuna, maybe you could say something different on the cover from "Boise's Coldest Beer"? Just a thought.

A Bit of a Buying Spree

The last week has seen me spend quite a few dollars on bits and bobs for the Nickhuis Brouwerij. My better half has ponied up cash for my birthday present, so I nabbed a twin font “kegerator” style ?kegging set up on Ebay. Combined with a few extra dollars in my latest pay packet, I’ve also managed to buy a bunch of test tubes for creating slants, a stir plate, Erlennmeyer flask, ingredients for my next brew (a Belgian Wit) and some yeasts to bank.The yeasts have given me the biggest thrill, as combined with the test tubes I’ll be able to create my own yeast bank at home, significantly reducing my ongoing costs of buying liquid yeasts, while allowing me to have a wide range of yeasts on hand for whatever I feel like brewing.I’ve got three yeasts coming in the post this week, Wyeast Forbidden Fruit for my ...

Brand or method shouldn't make a difference - it's the strength of the beer that normally matters. The stronger the beer, the longer the shelf-life.There are other things that a brewer can do to increase the lifespan - Oxygen is beer's enemy. When capping, let the caps rest on the tops of the bottles for a few minutes before crimping. This will allow the CO2 in the bottles to push out the oxygen at the top of the bottles. Also, try not to allow too much head-space in the bottles. a 1/2 inch of space is all that is necessary for bottle conditioning - any more is potential for early spoilage.Once you beer is fully conditioned try to keep in a cool dark area - not a refrigerator; they vibrate and slowly destroy beer.

http://eartheasy.com/eat_homebrew.htmBeermaking demystified! You can make your own beer with little effort and a fraction of the cost of commercial beer. This simple method uses just one fermenting process, so only one container is needed. Large, reusable 2 liter plastic pop bottles are used to bottle the beer, saving the work of washing, bottling and capping 60 - 70 regular-size glass bottles. And with every batch, you're sparing the environment the impact of manufacturing 60 - 70 aluminum cans or glass bottles. What you need EquipmentThe few items you need to brew your own homemade beer can be found at your nearest beermaking supply shop, or at most hardware stores.- One 10-gallon "food grade" plastic pail with lid. Cost: about $12.00- Siphon hose. You'll need a 74" length of 5/16" "food grade" vinyl tubing. Cost: $2.00- Hose clamp for siphon. Cost: $1.00- Twelve 2- liter plastic pop bottles, with lids. - Hydrometer. Cost: $8.00. A thermometer is also useful.- Large pot, or turkey roaster. Ingredients - Malt Extract. One 40oz. can of any flavor you like ( light, dark, stout), or a 1.5kg "tall" can of same. The 1.5kg can contains more malt extract so you can make a larger batch or use the same method here to make a richer beer. You can also buy 'pre-hopped' extract which will impart more of a hop flavor to your beer.- Yeast. 1 tsp brewers' yeast. Note: some malt comes with little packets of yeast included.- Sugar. 6 - 7 cups of regular white sugar, or 8 - 9 cups of corn sugar (preferred).For even better results, consider using two cans of the malt extract and not using any sugar. This adds to the expense, but greatly improves the taste of the beer. These ingredients should cost between $10 - 15 depending on your choice of malt extract. The yield will be about 23 liters of beer, which equals 65 - 70 bottles or cans of beer, of the regular 345ml size. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to brew SanitizeIt has been said that 75% of brewing is good sanitation. First, clean all equipment with warm, lightly soapy water. Rinse well to remove soap residue. Then sanitize using household bleach at a quantity of 1 tbsp/gallon of water. Or you can purchase a no-rinse acid sanitizer such as StarSan, which is effective and leaves no aftertaste.Brew1. Pour 10 liters of fresh, cold water into the 10 gallon plastic pail (carboy). If the pail is new, wash it out first with a mixture of water and baking soda to remove the plastic smell.2. In your largest pot, bring 7 liters of water to a boil.3. Add one can of malt extract. Stir and cook uncovered for 20 minutes.4. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.5. As soon as the sugar is dissolved, pour contents into the carboy. Pour, or 'splash', the contents quickly, which adds air to the mixture. The more air the yeast get initially, the better. It allows them to rapidly grow and get things going.6. Top up with bottled drinking water or tapwater until temperature is neutral. (If using tapwater, it is recommended to boil first to kill bacteria, then cool to room temperature.) Test using a clean, sanitized thermometer. The carboy will now be a little more than half full. 7. Sprinkle in the yeast, and stir well. Cover with lid. (Set lid on loosely; if capped too tightly, a carboy can explode from the carbon dioxide gas that is produced.) Keep covered and avoid unnecessary opening. The beer will be ready to bottle in 6- 10 days, depending on ambient temperature of the room and amount of sugar used in the brewing. Room temperature should be 20-24 Celsius at the highest; 16-20 Celsius is better but it will take the beer a day or two longer to ferment.Test for readiness with a hydrometer. Set hydrometer into the beer and spin it once to release bubbles which cling to it and give a false reading. The "ready to bottle" reading should be about 1.008 for dark beers and 1.010-1.015 for light beers. If you don't have a hydrometer, you can judge readiness by tasting a sample - it should not be sweet tasting. There should be little or no bubbling action in the beer. Bottle Set the carboy on a sturdy table and the 12 2-liter bottles on the floor, with newspaper underneath to catch drips or overflows. Using a funnel, put 2 level teaspoons of sugar in each bottle. Siphon the beer into the bottles, trying not to disturb the sediment on the bottom of the carboy. (One method is to tape a plastic straw alongside the bottom end of the siphon hose with 1" projecting beyond the end. The tip of the straw can touch the bottom of the carboy without the siphon drawing up sediment.) Tip the carboy as you near the bottom.It is important to not splash or agitate the beer too much when bottling as any oxygen introduced can lead to oxidation and a "cardboard" taste. As you fill the bottles, keep the end of the siphon tube near the bottom of the bottle to avoid frothing. It is essential that the bottles ar not completely filled - leave an airspace. Screw the caps on tightly. Invert each bottle and shake to dissolve sugar on the bottom. Set bottles in a warm area for the first few days, then store in a dark, cool spot. You can drink the beer within a few days of bottling, but it will improve with age. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enhancements Once you've made a few batches of your own homemade beer, it's fun to experiment with different 'enhancements'. When adding your own personal touch, however, caution is always a good idea; try things in small amounts so as not to over-do it. Here are few suggestions: Molasses. Add a cup or two of molasses to the malt while it's cooking. Cut back a bit on the sugar. This will impart a darker, more full-bodied taste to the beer. Blackstrap molasses is darker and richer; Fancy molasses is lighter. Licorice. Throw a few sticks of licorice into the malt while it's cooking. Leave in for 5 - 10 minutes, then remove any unmelted pieces before pouring the brew into the carboy. Hops. Put whole hops (dried) or hop flakes into a cheesecloth bag and add to the cooking malt. A handful is plenty. This will give a distinctive hop flavor to the beer. Herb teas. Try adding 3 or 4 teabags of Celestial Seasonings "Bengal Spice" tea, or "Apple Cinnamon Spice" tea. Add to the cooking malt and remove after 10 minutes. This will add a bit of spice to the taste of the beer, a very interesting flavor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy!Pour your beer carefully to avoid disturbing the sediment. Re-capped partially full bottles will retain their "fizz" for up to two weeks, so don't feel you have to empty the bottle (unless you're looking for an excuse!). After two weeks, unfinished bottles should be emptied.Batches of homemade beer can vary in quality. Darker beers will work best with this recipe for the most consistent results. If your beer is a little short on "fizz" or falls a little short of your expectations, try mixing 50/50 with your favorite commercial beer. If the empty bottles are rinsed out immediately, washing them later will be easy. Simply rinse with warm, lightly soapy water. Rinse well to remove soap residue. A mild bleach solution can also be used to clean the bottles. Remember, your beer will continue to improve for months. It's a good idea to start a second batch right away so you can get well enough ahead to enjoy fully matured beer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beer is an amazingly resilant beverage and can be aged for decades in many cases. The thing to remember is that regardless of ABV and even if it has lost all carbonation or "gone off" there is nothing in beer that can harm you.If you are looking to store it for long periods:1. Stay away from fliptop bottles. The seals will degrade over time.2. Stay away from green and clear bottles. Light is the enemy of beer. UV light breaks down the hops oils and skinks the beer.3. Keep it cool, but not cold. Cellar temperature if possible. If you don't have the ability to cellar it see #4. Refrigerating it will slow the development...stunt the growth. 4. Consistent temperature is possible more important than cool temperatures...or at least just as important. Try not to let the beer go from one extreme to the other. Though temperature change skunking is a myth, extreme changes in temp will effect aging process and can make off flavors develop.5. Beer should be stored in the upright position, unless a corked beer. this keeps the beer away from the cap. Corked beer, just like win, you want to keep the cork moist.6. Pour your beer. This will allow you to see if any nastiness has developed before drinking.7. Smell it after pouring. 90% of your sense of taste is based on smell...but the real reason is if it smell like foot jam it probably taste like it.8. ABV and hoppiness don't matter...they do help. This is the reason we have IPAs and Russian Imperial Stouts today, but even lower ABV and slightly hopped beers can age well. You never know until you try.

Kabooby?s Vienna Lager Tasting

When the weather started to get cold, I started adding more lagers into my brewing rotation. ?One of the first off the ranks was Kabooby’s Vienna Lager, which I posted about here.

This is a super easy lager yeast to work with. Low sulphur, good flavour profile and works quick.

Aussie Lager and the Pride of Ringwood

Pride of Ringwood is a much maligned hop here in Australia. That’s because we find it in nearly every single beer from our large scale breweries. The notable exception is the XXXX Bitter (cloneish recipe here).What’s funny is that we don’t see Brits going “Ewwww Goldings, I’ll never use that, it’s so common!” or the Germans saying “Ewwww Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Ich werde niemals, dass es so blich ist!”So we’ve got a bit of a snob factor going on with the humble Pride of Ringwood hop. Fully realising this, I’ve put my money where my mouth is and invested on a packet of the 2010 crop Pride of Ringwood hops in flower/cone form. It weighs in at a nice 9.5% alpha acids, and upon opening the bag, I was totally stunned by the pleasant aroma! It turns out, I was secretly not expecting much, and I’ve surprised myself immensely.

I find homebrew is more prevalent in Canada, probably due to the fact store bought beer costs about $12 a six pack up here. Never really saw it back home in Florida... You can find kit stores all over the place here, and in BC they actually have stores that will do the brewing for you (you get to do the bottling). Down in the States, beer and wine is so cheap it is almost not worth the cost and hassle of brewing it yourself in my opinion.That being said, I prefer making wine as it seems you get more bang for your buck and it is less time sensitive then beer. You can let wine sit on it's lees for weeks, and condition in a carboy for a year before you ever bottle it. Beer requires faster racking between fermentations and bottling is a pain as they are smaller and more numerous. It's lifespan is also way shorter and it can go bad very easily.As for consumption, I find that homebrew beer is acceptable, but not great. However, you can make some really decent wines at home that are comparable to a $50 bottle from the store... Guess that is subjective though!

What library have to with disasters?

NLM In Focus: What Library Have to with disasters? Skip the navigation Bar ON THE NLM In Focus NLM Home NLM Logo News From the world's largest medical Library What library have to with disasters? 21.May 2010

When you suspect that the people and places that allow when disaster strikes, can not immediately think kirjastonhoitajaa and libraries.But they can play an important role.

RECOGNIZING THE potential of unused libraries, the National Library of Medicine created Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) in 2008. Center is part of the library sharing, Specialized Information Services (SIS), but the effort is related to people throughout the NLM and the national network of libraries of Medicine.

"Many people think only give away books in the library, but it is truly a source of information," says Steven Phillips, MD, Associate Director, NLM SIS.The Center, he explains, aims to provide information and resources that users see as "just what I need, just in time."

For example, after the earthquake in Haiti DIMRC quickly to respond to the disaster the people, the language elements in the customized links to fill in the Haitian earthquake Web page — also provide details of the Haitian Creole.About pumpatun off, listserv was the growing number of health professionals and kirjastonhoitajaa. DIMRC staff gave two university hospitals, kirjastonhoitajaa, which was to prepare information about specific medical equipment, heading the Haitian. And the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications created Haiti earthquake People Locator — Web site more combine families — iPhone Manager provides you with information about the Web site. it was the NLM's first iPhone application.

This is just a sampling of what unfolded throughout the NLM hours, days and weeks after the earthquake but DIMRC is much more than the response data.

Stacey Arnesen, who heads DIMRC and its staff in seven ", we focus on all phases of a disaster," explains."People need to get the right information at the right time to take decisions and preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation policy."

DIMRC has been created to help the Federal Government by providing information on the disaster action and resources — information hub as an invoice — public health officials, health care providers and the general public.Center coordinates the entire NLM including disaster-related activities:

collecting, organizing, and disseminating health information for all disaster — natural, accidental or deliberate development online disaster communication tools serve as the "disaster information experts", by design, and ensure that the activities continue to NLM during a disaster, eight regional medical libraries and 5,800 libraries that belong to the national network of libraries, information technology and research to examine Medicineconducting to develop new and better ways to provide information, and share information in the event of disasters and federal, State and other agencies during training with emergenciescollaborating kirjastonhoitajaa

Create a chapter is the latest DIMRC NLM has a long history of providing information and resources in the context of the disaster.Bhopal, India, in 1984, after the gas leak NLM If toxicological data When Hurricane Mitch in 1998, devastation NLM joined the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to improve the health of the network infrastructure in Central America.After the September 11 attacks ON THE NLM National Center for biotechnology information developed by the poor quality of the software to analyze DNA samples to identify the victims still quickly.

Arnesen, explains why the disaster is too large to fit in the Centre of this natural "NLM is unique to the library," says.NLM has a wealth of information, and it performs the bioinformatics research — enable computers and communication technologies (ICT) in biology, medicine and health. "We are looking at the front of the people handling natural and develop new tools for major issues. "

How hospitals work together and to communicate and share information during a major disaster? How can hospital better monitored patients in disaster and Help Families Locate loved ones during their coordinated by almost dozen DIMRC? research to answer these questions. Projects are part of the Emergency preparedness partnership Bethesda Hospitals.The partnership consists of NLM and three hospitals, a few miles of each other — the National Naval Medical Center, NIH Clinical Center and community hospital in suburban Hospital, Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Another unique NLM that will help the disaster in the course of their work is the national network of libraries of Medicine, NLM coordinates the program, i.e.. "is a non-Phillips brainer," says. "There is a network of approximately 5,800 libraries that allow you to transfer data back and forth. "

Elizabeth Norton, a librarian DIMRC, notes that the recent events show us "is not if, but when a disaster occurs. Whether local, national and international, are always needed information."

Wyeast, one of the two biggest yeast farms catering to the commercial and home brewing pack have just announced their “Private Collection” or special edition yeasts for this (northern hemisphere) summer.To cut to the chase, this time around we’re getting a Rasenmaher Lagerbier yeast “an excellent choice for brewing your favourite low alcohol lawnmower beer”, which doesn’t tickle my fancy too much.

When you’ve got a bunch of recipes to try and limited resources (either financially, time or physical resources like fermenters and fridges) organising yourself to become more streamlined can be one of the biggest challenges.Of course, making much more beer than you can drink will keep your friends and neighbours entertained, but it ends up become another issue, that of storage and freshness. So what to do? A poster on AHB was talking about Gantt charts, a supreme tool for project management, and thinking on this, I reckon it’s a bloody good idea. That way you can set times for fermentation, conditioning, lagering, plan brew days in advance, organise yourself to create starters in the right timeframes, order your ingredients and know exactly when a beer is at its prime to crack open a bottle. ...

Technological products intended for use by students or teachers must be within the content areas of reading, writing, mathematics, or science, or must contribute to the improvement of social skills and behaviors that support academic learning and other important school-related outcomes (e.g., attendance, high school graduation rates). Products intended for teacher use may also include tools designed to improve the efficiency or accuracy with which teachers carry out their administrative responsibilities (e.g., recording and calculating grades). Technological products intended for use by school-level administrators (e.g., principal, guidance counselors, special education administrators) must be to improve the manner in which schools are operated (e.g., products that inform school operation, school data systems to inform practice). Products may be implemented or integrated within school practice as a replacement to existing curricula, supplement to existing curricula, teacher professional development program, instructional approach, student assessment, or as a management tool for school administrators.

Technological products may be in the following forms, but are not limited to: software (e.g., intelligent tutors, assessment engines), digital format readers, multi-media products (e.g., DVDs, videotapes, videoconferencing, television programs), technological devices (e.g., interactive whiteboards, clickers, personal computing devices, tablets, handheld devices), online instruction (e.g., "e-learning" products, distance learning products), or systems-level technologies (e.g., network infrastructure devices, school management programs).

Applicant Information

The Institute of Education Sciences' SBIR program is structured in three phases, the first two of which are supported by SBIR funds.

Phase I: Phase I awards supports the development of a prototype of an education technology product that contributes to improved student learning and academic achievement in the field of education, and research activities to determine the feasibility of the prototype in a school or other formal education delivery setting. Phase I awards are for 6-months, and up to $100,000.

Phase II: The Phase II award period is designed to continue the research or R&D effort initiated in Phase I with products that appear sufficiently promising as a result of Phase I. Phase II awards are for periods up to 2 years in amounts up to $750,000.

Phase II Fast Track Option: Through the Fast-Track option, the Institute funds meritorious proposals for activities that cover both the Phase I and Phase II periods. Fast Track projects include full-scale development of an education technology product that contributes to improved student learning and academic achievement in the field of education, evaluation of the product in a school or other formal education delivery settings, and plans for the private sector commercialization of the product. By providing funds for the Phase I period (6 months, up to $100,000) and an option for Phase II (2 years, up to $750,000), commencing as soon as Phase I ends, the Fast-Track mechanism has the potential to eliminate a funding gap between Phase I and Phase II. Firms with strong research or research and development (R/R&D) capabilities in education technology in the priority areas listed within the Request for Proposals are encouraged to participate.

Consultative or other arrangements between such firms and universities or other non-profit organizations are permitted for up to one-third of the funding in Phase I and up to half of the funding in Phase II. However, the small business must serve as the project lead.

Phase III. An objective of the SBIR program is to increase private sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal R/R&D. During Phase III, the small business concern is expected to pursue commercialization with non-SBIR funds. Successful Phase II and Fast Track proposals include plans for commercialization. The Department of Education does not provide funding during the Phase III period.

Submission Deadlines

The Institute of Education Sciences invites qualified small business firms to submit a Phase I proposal for up to $100,000 for the research and development of a prototype of an technological product that leads to improved student learning or teacher practices. In addition to a Phase I proposal, firms have the option to submit a "Fast-Track" (Phase I & Phase II) proposal for up to $850,000 for the research and development of a fully developed technological product.

The due date and time for the receipt of proposals is 11AM EST on January 11, 2010.
