Weekend Trivia -- Sunday
Well, Good Morning Cottagers! We had quite the storm blow through early this am. The skys at 5:30 am looked like Tornado skies, to me. Then we got a whack of rain, and it seems that the heat has broken, for now!! I guess the summer is ending the same as it was all season - wildly stormy. Hope all is well way down south, I guess they're getting a soaking too.
Well, I'm going to stay with a musical theme. The Rolling Stones are an English rock band, formed in London in April 1962 by Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, guitar) and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals). Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early line-up. R&B and blues cover songs dominated the Rolling Stones' early material, but their repertoire has always included rock and roll. Jones initially led the band, but after teaming as songwriters, Jagger and Richards assumed leadership.
Early on, they wrote one song, a hit of course, which Richards says he hears in about half of all of their music......so this week you have the writers, but which song is it? Is this easy, too?
Jagger has said of "..........": "It was the song that really made The Rolling Stones, changed us from just another band into a huge, monster band... It has a very catchy title. It has a very catchy guitar riff. It has a great guitar sound, which was original at that time. And it captures a spirit of the times, which is very important in those kinds of songs...
I agree-"Satisfaction"
I asked for one of their albums for Christmas when I was in 7th grade, so my mother went to Mads Music in Ardmore, PA (our only source for rock back then) to get it. When she saw the song title "Let's Spend the Night Together" she wouldn't buy the album. SO funny. She was much more comfortable with the Beatles who only wanted to hold my hand! Oh, and I did get the album after all from my aunt and uncle. Yippee.
Well, no fooling you lot!! Yes, it was/is Satisfaction.
Keith Richards states that he came up with the guitar riff for the song in his sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, recording the riff and the words "I can't get no satisfaction" on a cassette recorder and promptly falling back to sleep. He would later describe the tape as: "two minutes of 'Satisfaction' and 40 minutes of me snoring." He and Jagger finished writing the song at the Jack Tar Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida, in May 1965. Jagger wrote most of the lyrics after being confined to their Clearwater hotel rooms and not permitted to play, not as a statement about the rampant commercialism that the Rolling Stones had seen in America.
The Rolling Stones first recorded the track on 10 May 1965 at Chess Studios in Chicago - a version featuring Brian Jones on harmonica. The group re-recorded it two days later at RCA Studios in Hollywood, with a different beat and the Gibson Maestro fuzzbox adding sustain to the sound of the guitar riff. Richards envisioned redoing the track later with a horn section playing the riff: "this was just a little sketch, because, to my mind, the fuzz tone was really there to denote what the horns would be doing." The other Rolling Stones, as well as manager Andrew Loog Oldham and sound engineer Dave Hassinger eventually outvoted Richards and the track was selected for release as a single. The song's success boosted sales of the Gibson fuzzbox so that the entire available stock sold out by the end of 1965.
The single made its way through the American charts, reaching the top on 10 July, displacing The Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)". "Satisfaction" held on for a full four weeks, being knocked off on 7 August by "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" from Herman's Hermits. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts in America in the week ending 12 June 1965, remaining there for 14 weeks; it was #1 for four straight weeks. While in its eighth week on the American charts, the single was certified a gold record award by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for selling more than half a million copies in the United States, giving the band their first of many gold disc awards in America.
Richards was concerned that the riff sounded too much like Martha and the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street". Jagger later said: "It sounded like a folk song when we first started working on it and Keith didn't like it much, he didn't want it to be a single, he didn't think it would do very well... I think Keith thought it was a bit basic. I don't think he really listened to it properly. He was too close to it and just felt it was a silly kind of riff." Jagger has also pointed out that the title lyrics closely resemble a line from Chuck Berry's "30 Days". (Berry's lyric is "If I don't get no satisfaction from the judge".)
So there you go - I gotta stop asking these easy questions!! For ThinMan, Annette, Cyn, mnswgal:
Thanks for playing this week. I now have a week to come up with a much harder question!!

I can well believe that GR. As the flowers went over I dug up my foxglove and composted them, just leaving three different varieties to collect seeds from, but not before, I'd split, a few, not ready to pick seed pods and there were loads of seeds in them.
What lovely flowers, checked the first two out on the internet.
I branched out from growing veg, to sowing biennial flower seeds last year, like you,I like sowing seeds. I'm always suprised with the end result. Hollyhock and wall flowers were planted out today, not grown either before so we shall see what next year brings, they need to survive several inches of snow yet but bellis and foxglove came through last winter.
I like collecting seeds to see if plants grow again the following year from seeds saved, hence the bean trial. Am also trying to save aubergine seeds but the aurbergines are just getting bigger with no signs of them dying back.
Happy gardening Nututlet.
Thanks nutculet.
It's only the yellow podded one's which seem to be beanless. Went out this evening as the sun was going down and holding up the pods to the sun you could see which had beans in.
Which legumes do you grow for seed, I tried two bean varieties this year without success, Californian Black Eye Cowpea and Hyacinth Bean.
... returning to the Q posed...Sam... you still haven't defined horticulturalist...
...'A gardener is a person that tends to a garden and is therefore a horticulturist. However, not all horticulturists are gardeners'. I'm happy to be wrong but this is a gardening forum.
I think... for what it's worth...people can garden without having formal qualifications, I don't have formal horticultural qualifications yet me thinks I do pretty well in the gardening department as regards growing veg and other stuff I'm familiar with...so am therefore a horticulturalist by the above definition...my knowledge has been gained through experience, from other people and reading...I try to be organic, am interested in conservation....
I decided before finishing reading your Q ...the answer was no...so set out to support that judgement. Dawin sprung to mind and his theories. Darwin although an educated man and a biologist he had no formal qualifications to arrive at the conclusion he did around the evolution of man (happy to be wrong on that point) he set out on a vorage of discovery, gardening is like that, you don't need qualifications but if you want to change the world having a better understanding helps and if that is gained through formal qualfications... why not ...I'm sat on the fence...
Will do, this weekend. Growing foxgloves was a real success this year, first time grown from seed and they were huge, bee's loved them, just need to be mindful were they are planted, definately a back of the border plant.
Also had Sweet William which has self seeded in a trough so will just transplant them.
Thanks for the reply nutcutlet beginning to think I might be on everyone's ignore list .
Will thin them out, but they are spread in a tiny area and grow into huge plants, is it still worth potting up some of the thinned out seedlings and if so would multi purpose compost be ok and kept in the GH over winter.
Thanks for the reply nutcutlet.
Was going to pull off all the beanless pods this weekend, I know this has been answered before but why are there no beans in them?
...take it not many posters save their bean seeds
I use a multi purpose compost for my lilly bulbs. Most are planted in pots with crocks in the bottom.
What a nice garden, checked out where it is, not doable for me in a day but will go on my list of places to visit if ever in the the area. If a garden can look so nice in October it must be fabulous in summer
Hi, Paddy,
welome to the threads. I started off with just one veg bed in the back garden, you won't look back. Nothing better to clear the mind and it's ever so satisfying eating what you've grown.
If you don't find what you want at B & Q there are some good sites on line where you can pick up a reasonable priced cold frame.
I tend not to grow veg over winter but spend the time feeding the birds, buying seeds and planning where I'm going to plant what next season.
Happy gardening...

During recent disclosure training seminars, I repeatedly heard from experienced, seasoned doctors that not only do they not have any idea what to say to families post-event, they also have no idea who to call for help when something goes wrong. Of course, the risk manager sitting two rows over is pulling his/her hair out because they have told the medical staff 20 times to call their office when something goes wrong, but the message wasn't received or remembered. So, docs and nurses don't communicate with anyone post-event and the situation quickly becomes a legal train wreck.
At Sorry Works!, we continually coach hospitals and insurers that they really need to promote disclosure among their clinicians. It's not enough to say "We do disclosure" but you have to teach disclosure to your front-line staff and then keep disclosure top of the mind among your doctors and nurses (as well as new hires down the road). One way this is done is to publicize and promote your hotline number to let docs and nurses know there is a place/person to call when things go wrong. A surgeon in a recent disclosure training seminar shared this idea about promoting hotline numbers which was priceless:
"Put the hotline number on the back of the bathroom stall doors. When I sit on the can that is the only five or six minutes of my day where things are totally quiet and I'm not being bombarded by people or information. And all I am looking at is the back of a grey door…so put the hotline number on there. I'll see it every day and remember it."
The surgeon also suggested that small cards or pamphlets with information about disclosure (including the hotline number) be left in discreet places where physicians and nurses can quickly and confidentially grab them and stuff in their pockets. This is why Sorry Works! created "Pocket Notes" and the "Little Book of Empathy"…both are small, quick reads that can be customized to include your hotline numbers. Order your copies today!

Original Apple I from 1976 sold for $365,000 at auction
12/11, 6:51pm
Only known surviving model sold directly by Steve Jobs to customer
A fully-functional Apple I original computer known as the "Ricketts Apple I" after the original owner, has sold at auction at Christie's for less than expected, fetching $365,000 rather than the estimated $400,000-600,000 range. The unit was the only known Apple I sold directly by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to an individual from his Los Altos family home. Another working Apple I was recently sold to the Henry Ford foundation last October for $905,000. While there are thought to be some 50 surviving Apple I units, only six are known to be functional.

text: Hello! My first thread on the forums! I am making my first non family trip with my boyfriend and a friend to WDW in August and we are staying at a resort (they are surprising me as I have never stayed on site before). I am very excited but slightly concerned, I have severe seafood allergies. They made our Dining reservations already and I believe they noted it and selected places with lots of choices for me. I was just wondering how accommodating Disney is to allergies? I sometimes have to get up and leave restaurants because of the smell and have had to go to the hospitals. Has anyone had any experience with allergies at Disney? When I was younger, my parents took care of everything and we ate at our condo a lot or brought food.

The Golden State could shortly become that - literally - as a lack of rainfall dries up all the natural vegetation due to massive drought. The year of 2013 was a record-setting year due to lack of rainfall in California. A professor at Berkeley warns that this could become just par for the course, and this time could go down as the driest in 500 years.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Green
Keywords: Drought, California, conservation, water
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Professor Lynn Ingram, the author of the book "The West without Water," looked back 10 to 20 thousand years and came to the conclusion that we live in a dry climate.
"Some people have said that this could be the start of a several decade-long dry spell," Ingram says. Ingram examines history to help forecast the future.
California style! Would this beautiful print would look wonderful in your home?
The prognosis is bleak -- dried up creek beds that resemble August in lieu of January could become California's typical landscape, if history repeats itself.
It wasn't always this way. "It's important to understand our climate history and know when were the droughts, and then we also had years of extreme floods," Ingram said.
Her study about tree rings led Ingram to predict that we could be in for the driest winter in centuries. Narrow tree rings indicate little or no water for growth, just like people saw in the 1500s.
"They put on rings every single year. So you can actually be able to detect one year of drought," Ingram said.
Sediment cores that can span a few thousand years and point to the saltiness of San Francisco Bay are another indication, albeit not always as precise. With more fresh water, the salinity drops. It's all on par with what happened here in the dry years of 1976 and 1977, and this could be the norm for quite some time.
"That was like the year with no rain," Ingram said. "We could be on track for heading into a drier sort of period."
Since the Bay Area was built up during the 20th century, we may be forced to adapt to a drier 21st century.
There are frightening things if one chooses to look into an inexact crystal ball. Some droughts, like one in the Middle Ages, lasted more than a century. Ingram called this time of dry conditions anxiety provoking - and we should use this information to rethink how we use, save, and recycle our water.
A seven-year drought and increased water demand spurred by explosive population growth in the Southwest has caused the water level at Lake Mead, which supplies water to Las Vegas, Arizona and Southern California, to drop over 100 feet to its lowest level since the 1960s.
The National Park Service has also been forced to close or extend boat launch ramps, and move entire marinas to try to keep up with the receding water levels.

DIY Braided scarf tutorial (picture + video tutorial). I did this my own way--basically used the initial measurements to create simple tube scarves without the braiding. I looped one tube through another to create a connected two-color infinity scarf, which was cool, but it works just as well separately. And you can knot them after the fact to get the same effect as the braid. :)

Golovkin closing in on Chavez Jr on Froch's Facebook poll
On Tuesday, IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch asked boxing fans on his Facebook account to pick out who they would like to see him fight from these three fighters: Julio Cesar Chavez, James DeGale and Gennady Golovkin. Froch initially asked fans if they wanted to see him fight DeGale or Chavez Jr. But a couple hours later, Froch added Golovkin's name to the list.
As you would guess, Chavez Jr jumped out to a huge lead over the other contestants. However, now a day later, Golovkin has narrowed Chavez Jr's lead considerably and is within striking distance of taking the lead. Continue reading
Brook has a great chance of beating Porter, says Hatton
Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) is the underdog in his fight against IBF 147 pound champ Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) for their fight this Saturday night, but fellow Brit Matthew Hatton is giving him a great chance of going into the ring and taking Porter's belt.
Hatton knows what kinds of skills that Brook has, because he lost to him a couple of years ago by a 12 round decision. Hatton took Brook's best shots for the first 8 rounds, and fought well in the last four rounds after Brook gassed out. Brook has since taken care of his stamina problems by carefully monitoring his diet.
"I think he's got a great chance going into this fight," Hatton said to Skyboxing.com. "I believe Kell is a special fighter. I believe he can do it." Continue reading

Deontay Wilder: I'm not treating the Gavern fight as a warm-up
Unbeaten heavyweight Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KOs) is taking seriously his opponent Jason Gavern (25-16-4, 11 KOs) this Saturday night in their fight at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Deontay doesn't care that Gavern, 37, is seen as a guy without a hope in this fight. He's still taking him seriously, because he realizes at the heavyweight level one punch can change the outcome of the fight regardless of how over-matched that fighter is. In this case, Gavern has respectable power, and could potentially pull off an upset of Deontay if he lands something big enough. Continue reading
Shannon Briggs threatens Wladimir: Team Klitschko adds extra Security
It has been a little over a week since Shannon Briggs stormed into a restaurant where Wladimir Klitschko was having a meal, and took it took far with his antics, eating Wladimir's food and promising to follow him everywhere he goes. This must have been that very last straw, because this time, even though calm and composed, Klitschko poured a glass of water over Shannon's head, sending Briggs into a frenzy, resulting in broken glassware and cuts.
Clearly this incident did nothing to settle the situation, as Briggs is back on Wladimir's back, threatening more action: "As soon as I see you, I will hot you in the face. Your fat security guard approached me from the back and grabbed me. That's cool. I even cut my foot on your glass jaw. Nobody cares about your fight against Pulev, while the entire world is talking about us. Let's do this!" said Briggs.
"This was 100% real, not staged," added Briggs about that restaurant brawl. Continue reading
Daniel Jacobs: A fight against Golovkin is out of my control
Newly crowned WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (28-1, 25 KOs) made it a point to call out WBO middleweight champ Peter Quillin last Saturday night after blowing out #2 WBA Jarrod Fletcher in 2 rounds at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Jacobs sees a fight against Quillin as a potentially big affair that they could stage at the Barclays Center. Jacobs, however, seems less excited at the thought of facing WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in the near future despite Jacobs now being his mandatory.
Golovkin would jump at the chance of fighting Jacobs, especially now that he's gotten a small name for himself after being the Australian Fletcher. Continue reading
Hatton: "Joseph Parker isn't on Lucas Browne's radar"
RICKY HATTON has stated that Kiwi hopeful Joseph Parker isn't even on Hatton Promotions' radar for Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne.
Parker defeated little known American Keith Thompson this weekend and has mentioned a showdown with Browne on numerous occasions.
But as Browne, who holds the Commonwealth, WBC EPBC and WBA Inter-continental crowns, is ranked highly by the three main world governing bodies and seemingly on the verge of a world title shot, the match-up is highly unlikely at present.
"I've heard Parker's team say Lucas is scared of them, which is laughable," Ricky said. Continue reading
Brook: I know I'll beat Porter 100%
British challenger Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) is going to be stepping out of his comfort zone in coming to the United States to challenge IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) this Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Brook has analyzed Porter's fighting style and he doesn't see any way that he can use his aggressive attacks against him on Saturday. Brook points to his timing and his power that will keep Porter from being able to crowd him the way he does all of his opponents.
Brook wants to hit Porter with hard shots each time he tries to charge him to get inside. Brook sees Porter eventually giving up on the idea of trying to fight him on the inside, and instead he'll stick to the outside where Brook holds all the advantages due to his superior height and reach. Continue reading
Golden Boy VP Gomez to work on Garcia-Peterson fight
Golden Boy Promotions vice president Eric Gomez says he's going to look to see if he can put together a unification match between IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson and WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) for either later this year or in 2015.
Both fighters were involved in a couple of sick mismatches last Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Garcia stopped lightweight Rod Salka (19-4, 3 KOs) in 2 rounds after knocking him down repeatedly on three separate occasions. Peterson had his own mismatch in #13 IBF Edgar Santana, who he battered unmercifully for 10 rounds until the ringside doctor stopped the fight himself. Continue reading
Glendale "Fight Night" Results
Top Rank and Bash Boxing put on another fun card from their "Fight Night" series tonight in Glendale, California; featuring ten 4-8 round bouts between up and coming prospects. The main event and co-feature were broadcast live on UniMás; with former super bantamweight champ Israel Vasquez doing guest commentary. Results below.
Joe Felix Jr. 26-1-1 (21KO) vs. Alejandro Rodriguez 21-14 (12KO)
Super Featherweights, 8 rounds
The UniMás main event between two Mexican natives was a bit of a let down after the great opener. Things started slowly as both fighters attempted to feel each other out while not taking any risks. Rodriguez moved forward and Felix Jr. tried to counter. In the third round Rodriguez was bleeding from his nose, no doubt the result from those counter shots. By the fourth round the nose was bleeding badly and appeared broken. No doubt Felix Jr. was the harder puncher, as his shots were doing more damage as the rounds progressed. Rodriguez continued to stalk but seemed late to the punch in every exchange. Felix Jr. always got off first, while moving his feet and remaining defensively responsible. Continue reading

We found this beautiful Victorian Inn on our road trip up north. The town of Ferndale is very cute with all the Victorians, but the highlight was the Victorian inn. We were driving all day through the avenue of giants when we decided to check out this town. We stopped at the Victorian Inn for a bite to eat. It was just after lunch and just before dinner service. I decided have a beer at the beautiful bar as my friend went out to take pictures of the town. When they opened for dinner we went in and Cat the bartender waited on us, she was great and the food was excellent. I had the chicken pot pie and my friend had the rib eye. Both were great especially the chicken pot pie. After dinner we decided to stay the night, the nicest people helped us decide a room from the hard to choose (because they all are charming in there own way) we were given a free upgrade so we chose the Ira Ross suite. It was incredible the most beautifull room I have ever stayed in. Everything was impeccable from the furniture to the sheets. It felt like being in Victorian times. After a great nights sleep we had a great breakfast as part of the room. You really have to see this hotel for yourself, I can't wait to come back.

As the tax filing season revs into high gear, most taxpayers will find
the rules for filing 2013 taxes are a lot like a year earlier.
Tax season, that time of year that spurs Americans to gnash their teeth
and root out reams of old documents, officially kicked off Friday.
many taxpayers might not be in a hurry to file their returns, it's a
sure bet that criminals are poised to push the send button.
With 2013 almost in the books, some last-minute tax moves for your retirement money could help you start 2014 off right.
The American Taxpayer Relief Act has left
taxes much the same for households w/ incomes less than $250K. They
will owe Uncle Sam more.
Taxpayers are
probably not thinking about tax season yet, but now is the time to do so to position yourself for the upcoming tax year.
Some families may end up owing Uncle Sam a sizable refund if they accept
government help on buying health insurance next year.
What should you do if you owe money to the IRS? Here are some tips that can help you deal with the situation.

For broadcasting programme that likely to incite commission of crime
A Birmingham-based general entertainment satellite broadcaster that broadcasts in English and Punjabi has been fined a sum of £30,000 by the U.K. communications industry regulator Ofcom for breach of Rule 3.1 of the Broadcasting Code which disallows radio or television to broadcast any programme that "is likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or to lead to disorder."
Sangat TV aired a half-hour programme on 1 October, 2012 in which a panel of eight discussed the attack by four men on the retired army chief Lt. General G.S. Brar and his wife in central London that had taken place a few days earlier. The attack, in which Gen. Brar and his wife escaped with knife injuries, was believed to have been an act of revenge for General Brar's role in Operation Bluestar in 1984, during which he commanded the army operation that flushed militants out of the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Ofcom found that the content of the programme "was likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime."
It said the statements by participants in the discussion were "an indirect call to action to members of the Sikh community to take violent action against Lieutenant-General Brar, other members of the Indian armed forces who had taken part in Operation Bluestar (the Indian Army's controversial military operation against the Golden Temple at Amritsar in June 1984) or those who supported this military operation."
In its notice, Ofcam said that some of the participants praised the violent attack on General Brar lauding the perpetrators for their service to the Sikh committee.
Regis 1, the group that owns Sangat TV is reported to have said that the fine could "cripple" them, as the TV station is run by volunteers.
The group argued that this was a "one-off" incident and they therefore should not be penalised for it.

Watch Indians Perform "New" and Chat at Pitchfork's SXSW Interactive Showcase
By Pitchfork on April 3, 2013 at 2:25 p.m. EDT
Today, Pitchfork.tv kicks off a series of videos shot while down in Austin for this year's SXSW. The first video was shot at Pitchfork's SXSW Interactive Showcase at Mohawk. It features Copenhagen's Indians performing the Somewhere Else track "New", plus an interview.
During our chat, Søren Løkke Juul discussed having a different band in Europe from the one he works with in America. "In Denmark, it's two guys and here it's two girls," he said. "Kinda Jack White-style."

For many SXSW attendees, myself included, the idea of starting the night by sitting inside of a church to check out a new band on the softer side of the spectrum is a tough sell. Indians, aka Copenhagen's Søren Løkke Juul, had one such a set to offer yesterday evening at the dimmed Central Presbyterian Church.
Watch Indians' Søren Løkke Juul Get Tied Up and Tormented in the Video for "I Am Haunted"

Indians, the moniker of Copenhagen's Søren Løkke Juul, has shared the video for "I Am Haunted" off his 4AD debut, Somewhere Else, out next week. The spinning, panoramic clip, directed by Winston H. Case, finds Søren tied up in a dark, grim basement, subject to much torment and physical beating from a female character.

Hello all, and thanks for all the great advice you folks give.
I'm currently fermenting my first batch of wort. It looks and even smells great--yeasty, but fresh and earthy. My wife and I were fairly meticulous to ensure that our first brew would be something we'll enjoy. Sadly, we did not attend to the repeated warnings about chlorine in city tap water.
I *did* boil my water for ten minutes prior to making the wort--but completely forgot about the chlorine factor when adding water to the cooled product. 2008 chlorine levels for our local water were around 1.00 ppm.
Here is the question: Are there chlorine levels that are low enough *not* to ruin beer taste? Or will the aforementioned level almost certainly affect the taste of our virgin effort?
Whatever the case, I'll be hooking up a reasonably priced Britta faucet filter in order to avoid this worry in the future.
how much water did you boil? how much tap water did you add afterwards?
id make an experiment. Make a small sample of the water used, and drink it, if it taste ok your beer would also be ok, water is part of the flavor.
From what I have read on most posts on this topic, if you tap water is what you drink it will make good beer. Take a look at the bottom of this post for similar threads. Also Welcome fellow Buckeye.
I do not preboil any of my city water. I am not sure what the ppm is, but I have never had a problem.
What type of beer was it? Any impact from the chlorine (if there is any at all) are generally more noticeable in lighter beers.
Also, if you brewed with extract I agree the "if it's good to drink, it's good to brew" mantra. Water chemistry is more important for AG, but I'm still not convinced I am able to taste the traces of chlorine in my water.
Also, double check your municipal water report for whether you have chlorine or chloramine. If it's chloramine, you're better off with campden tablets as a brita won't remove much chloramine from the water.
Either way, your beer will be fine. I have city water treated with chloramine and I use my water straight from the tap. RDWHAHB, and welcome to HBT!
You know, plenty of brewers, including myself, use chlorinated water straight out of the tap, often without even boiling and our beers turn out fine.
You'll find as you progress in this hobby, there are a million ways to do things, there's a million theories, and all of them make beer.
There's a saying in brewing "ask 10 brewer's how they do things and you'll get 12 different answers...and they are all right.
You didn't do anything "wrong" by not de-chlorinating your water. Your beer will not automatically be ruined because you didn't.
A lot of brewing is about coming up with your own process, figuring out what works for you and your system. There is really no right and wrong, better or worse way to do things, there is really just what we prefer.
And next time you brew, try doing it differently, de chlorinate and see if there is any difference. But don't just assume your beer is ruined, because one brewer or one book or one theory says you have to do it one way or else. It's just not like that in brewing.
You have the typical new brewer's panic going on, I bet you think that if you look at this fermenter wrong, your beer is going to "die." That's not the case, your beer is not like a weak newborn baby, it is much hardier than that.
Take a read of this thread, and relax- http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/what...t-great-96780/
In brewing you'll fine there is always more than one way to skin a cat...and they all work fine.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I'll let you know how it turns out.
In response to Redglass, I'm brewing a fairly basic lager using ingredients supplied by a local homebrew shop. I think this particular brew will help me determine whether current chlorine amounts will, in fact, be a problem. The folks at the homebrew store are especially adamant about ridding one's brewing water of any traces of chlorine or chloramine (hence my trepidation). You'd think I was committing a mortal sin by not doing so.
Revvy, your right about me falling prey to the new brewers' panic. I was fretting when the wort didn't show visible signs of fermenting after 12 hours. Now its going crazy in the corner of my home office. Love hearing the water bubble in the airlock!
Your not alone Futureman, from one newbie to another, I've hit the panic button several times on my first 3 batches. And probably will for many more to come... it seems all my beers have behaved properly, cant wait to sample em.
FIRST BREW!!!! yaaaaah! (pop)
welcome. don't worry. you'll be able to drink it.
for me, learning about brewing was knowing what I could FORGET as I moved forward, no prob.
basically, for everything, do what you CAN, but don't worry about what you *didn't do*, unless you can taste a difference. and yes, that is in a micro-nut-shell. HAVE FUN!
-I'm not getting older, but the floor is getting further away.
