---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 17:24:44 +1100 From: craftbrewer at telstra.easymail.com.au Subject: Replies - Japanese hops, utilization, filters, wheat G'day All Well I feel for our Japanese mate. He asked for a way to work out the approximate IBU's of some wild hops, and while it has been given on how he can scientifically work it out, I'm sure he left his chemistry set at home. So how can a homebrewer do this. well he cant they're hopeless at brewing, but us craftbrewers can certainly give it a shot. What you want to do is make up some small batches or very a simple 1.040-10.50 beer with just pale malt. Now each batch assume the AAU is say 3, another 6 another 9. and hop accordingly to a set IBU level you are accustomed to, for say 25 IBU's. Now also make a batch with a known AAU hop. Remember dont add flavour or aroma additions, just bitterness. Then simply simply taste them all together and see which beer comes closest to your known AAU bittering hop. Some will say you should do double blind triangular taste tests, but you are only really after a reasonable guide and this will give you it nice and easy. You will be with the margin of error for us craftbrewers on its AAU. Make it a fun exercise and have some friends arround and see if you can all agree on which is closest. Now From: "Hardter" <hardter at rcn.com> Subject: Whirlpool/cooling delay and increased bitterness Hello everyone, While reviewing Miller's Homebrewing Guide, I came across his opinion that aroma hops placed in at the end of the boil added almost as much bitterness (as bittering hops) when the boil is and left to sit for 30 minutes. Can this be accurate? <<< Steve you raise a very good point and you are right. I read somewhere that isomerisation of hops will start at temps above (give or take). So certainly isomerisation will be occurring. BUT (oh that word again I love), All these hop calculations that people use, they talk about hop utilisation. What that is simply is they have factored in what they think is lost thru the process to the finished product.. There are losses right thru the process, from the boil, in the trub, reactions in the fermentation, the crap that rises with the foam at krausen etc. What I suggest people do is just pick one formula and stick to it (me its rager). Whether its right or wrong is fairly immaterial, as the real final amount with vary brewer to brewer with his system and methods. But by sticking to just one, after a while you will recognise your level of a certain IBU you have calculated, and can adjust your hopping level accordingly. I hear many brewers say, I make my beer slightly higher IBU's than they suggest, cause i like it. Half the time they are twigging these formulas and dont even know it. One still has to pity poor Brian From: "Brian Lundeen" <blundeen at rrc.mb.ca> Subject: The Mystery is Solved! I mention this as encouragement to others out there that may be suffering at the hands of NetTyrants. We may not be able to overthrow them, but we can at least offer each other hugs of solace (Australians: substitute hearty mocking laughter) at our oppression.<<< And laugh we do, but I fear it wont take too long for this sort of cr*p to come over here. So to all you Southerners, live it up now. I give it two years and we will be swearing to. But I have bets at least we can actually type F==k, cr*p, sh+t, b=st=rd, and a host of other words like we can now. I refuse to distribute "Moral American For Beginners" in this country. Mind you Dr Pivo has a copy. Could sweden turn from fun lovers to lovers wishing they could have some fun upon his return. Now joel From: Joel Plutchak <plutchak at ncsa.uiuc.edu> Subject: Mashing a 100% wheat beer it got me thinking I'd like to brew a strong 100% wheat ale. Also FWIW, I have a bunch of rice hulls to help out with the lautering. Anybody have an idea what the recommended proportion and procedure for using then is? - -- Now I have brewed with 100% wheat malt and you do it no different to any other brew. Yes I would do a protein rest. As for rice hulls, well I add a good 10% by weight and that works., But rice hulls are cheep and to be safe go 15%.

Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 02:03:54 -0500 From: Rogers Michael B <avatar at hemc.net> Subject: re: Reducing cider alcohol level You might want to try using potassium sorbate to stop fermentation, then adding more of the original recipe you started out with. Haven't worked with cider before, but it can work wonders for mead. Just a few problems. It will can't make a sparkling cider unless you have a CO2 system, and it may change how it ages (i.e. it may not pick up any nuances, etc.- I just don't know this one). There is also the potential for a clash of flavors. If there IS a flavor clash, you might want to consider "cutting" the cider with a flavor that would be complimentary such as water boiled with cinnamon or clove. I will be using this technique for my next batch so that I can add a complimentary flavor to a sack mead without kicking off a second ferment.

I don't think this is a problem. There is always air in even a closed fermentor. I have used both glass and plastic open and closed fermentors. I'v had many problems but not this one. Even Many commercial beers are fermented open. The real risk is in racking hot and after the secondary. I really like plastic because it's easy to clean and sanitise and dosen't break and light weight. Some of my carboys are over 10 years old. I'm getting a little woried about one breaking while I'm carrying it full of beer. I also mash in plastic. Ken in Ypsilanti Return to table of contents

My son got me Promash for xmas and it looks like it uses Brewater for its water calculations. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have the "tsp" option. It seems to be limited to "Grams Per Gallon". Is that correct? I took a quick look at the Helps and couldn't find any way to get the output in "tsp per total H2O" or per gallon. Anyone know if I missed something?

Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2001 17:15:43 +0000 From: "A. J." <ajdel at mindspring.com> Subject: Plato For Frank Tutzauer: The Plato value of a wort is the percentage by weight of extract contained in it. Thus to make a sucrose solution of 10P you can put a beaker with a stir bar on a balance, tare, add x grams of pure sucrose and add water until the balance reads 10x or a little over. Now remove the beaker to a stir plate and mix being sure to keep the speed low enough that droplets don't get thrown up onto the side of the beaker. After mixing weigh again on the balance. If the weight after stirring is y then the strength of the solution is 10x/y Plato. This is a handy way to do it because 1) you'll never hit 10x exactly and 2) water will evaporate during stirring. Thus you won't have a solution of exactly 10 P but darn close and you'll know what the strength is quite accurately. As soon as you get the second weight measurement transfer the solution to a closed container to prevent further evaporation. As a side note, Plato's contribution was not in that his group made solutions with accurately known strength by weight but that they measured the specific gravity of these solutions to six decimal places thus correcting the Balling tables. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * RE Lou Heavner's comments. I think he has the proper perspective i.e. water treatment is done in order to emphasize or deemphasize some aspect of a regional beer that is tied to the local water. The hops character of Burton ales and their relationship to sulfate concentration is the obvious example. Given that this is the case, close approximation is definitely good enough. Lou cited some reasons for this but the major one is that the published ion content profiles for the various cities are by and large bogus. Take one of these to a chemist and ask him to fomulate it and he'll say "I can't. This water is physically impossible to produce". Thus approximation is not only good enough, in many cases it's the only option. WRT to chalk addition: chalk seldom contributes anything positive to a beer and, as has been noted, it is difficult or impossible to dissolve in water being treated (mother nature accomplishes solution of chalk/limestome by using carbonic acid from respiring soil bacteria and you can do the same but I suggest getting the CO2 from a bottle rather than soil bacteria) so I recommend that brewers add the "stylistic" salts to the liquor and reserve the carbonates and bicarbonates. These can be added to the mash later if and only if they are required to increase mash pH. I always note in this regard that in, for example, the case of a Munich Helles the authenticity minded brewer would synthesize the carbonate water of Munich only to then be confronted with the task of decarbonating it just as the Munich brewemaster would. By simply leaving the carbonates out when the water is treated, substantial trouble is avoided and the water has the desired stylistic effects. Return to table of contents

BUT, I noticed that the holes are rusty after just one use! (DUH!) So, I assume I'll be adding a miniscule bit of rust to my wort??? Will this be ok?

Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 02:14:20 +0100 From: "Dr. Pivo" <docpivo at hotmail.com> Subject: spent grain consumers A quick list..." of observed obfuscators of old oastings" (things that eat your spent grains). The following is a compilation of approximately 20 years of disposing of aproximately 300 kg (660 pounds.... which is of course abbreviated "lbs.", and as such should be pronounced "loubs") anually, in a quite haphazard manner, and watching same such ammounts being disposed of anally by a variety of species. Cows: Love them. Apparently enough cellulose there, that they even thrive on it, as even dairy cattle can have them and still be "producers". Pigs: As you would expect... not terribly "discriminate" eaters, and there table manners are not improved a whit by the introduction of such noble materials. Chickens: A bit related to the above when it comes to how restrictive they are in their diet. Wild birds: Never seen them take much interest, until the grain piles have been laying around long enough to attract worm production, at which time thrushes and magpies seem to be good "pile kickers" in search of what lies below. Turkeys: Whilst having a real "party" over things such as stinging nettles (imagine a mouthfull of THOSE!), they pay no attention whatsoever to spent grains for some reason.... I think that that is because they are genetically lobotomised. Roe deer: I've not had them approach mine.... which may be simply because I've spread a false rumour amongst them that I own several weapons,....but have acquaintances in the area who say they readily partake of piles they dump at the forest's edge. Moose: ditto Little black 6- legged crawly things which have a name pronounced the same as 4 very talented musicians, of which one moved to New York, never to be heard from again: There seems to be one group (Tentenibrianidae?) which does tend to mix about in the old piles, particularly if they become "mouldy" ones. ... As to other methods of diposal. 1) Since cooling the Christmas ham in the snow on the front lawn, and seeing the brown spot it produced in the lawn the following summer, it has occured to me how effective prolonged heat is in killing roots.... I have now begun a campaign of packing the hot grains around my strawberry plants, in order to intimidate the "quick-root" invasion.... alas, thus far without much success. 2) You might try wrapping them in a sort of "present" type packaging, with pretty bows on it, driving into the city of your choice, and then leaving the package on the front seat with the passenger door obviously unlocked, and abandoning the vehicle for a while. Some helpful soul will generally remove them for you. 3) Failing all else, you might pack them into pillow slips, take them to your local health food store, touting them as an "organic" method for curing neck pains, insomnia, psoriasis, piles, high blood pressure, a potency enhancer, and promoting natural weight loss, and selling them at 4 times the price you originally gave for them........ some folks will believe ANYthing.

I like the large opening for cleaning, the separate racking port and bottom valve. I found the base to be sturdy if on a solid floor, but wobbly on a carpet. On the model I have, the racking port is closed with a spring clip, which I don't care for. The web site now pictures a ball valve which should be better. I wish the plastic blocked all light, but some light does get through, so I cover the unit with a large box when in use. It is too big to fit in a refrigerator, but if you ferment at room temp it should be fine. You do need to be careful with the plastic threads, and liberally use the supplied pipe tape to get a seal on all the joints. Good luck if you get one. No affiliation, yada, yada, yada.

Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 08:52:01 +0000 From: Tom smit <tom at lunica-data.com.au> Subject: Ale dropping & fermentation temp Hi, A couple of questions. When I brew a batch of ale it is my practise to zip an old parka around the fermenter to keep the temparature constant. When the fermentation is really going it can reach a temperature of 24C, a bit above the ideal maximum. What is the main flavor effect this too high a temperature would cause? Over this holiday period I have spent a fair bit of time reading about brewing, including G Wheelers BYORAAH & Homebrewing. The Real Ale book describes dropping as racking without aeration wereas in Home Brewing he suggests running the ale out the tap of the primary fermenter into the secondary, i.e. with aeration. I have noticed the odd post here about brewers re-aerating their brew about 14 hours after pitching, whereas Graham recommends dropping after 36-48 hours. Does any one practise dropping with aeration? At what time? Have you noticed any significant positive or negative effects? Graham talks about northern yeasts needing rousing-how does this relate to Wyeast & White Labs yeasts? Perhaps a note re rousing/dropping could be added to the table of yeasts someone wants to build up? For those who responded about my questions relating to my bock, I racked it over the weekend when it had attenuated from 1.062 to 1.015-my panic about nothing happening seemed mostly due to the airlock not bubbling because the fermenter lid was not screwed on tightly enough (normally I make ales using open fermentation) Cheers Tom Smit Tiny Horses Brewery Return to table of contents

Photo: Why Do All Nurses Have Big Tits?Big Boobs Models, BustyArianna Sunday, July 31st, 2011
What is it about big-titted nurses? Here at The SCORE Group, we've featured more busty nurses in our magazines and websites than any other profession, two recent examples being Renee Ross and Michelle May. We asked Renee about that, and she said, "We're more open about our bodies because we see naked bodies all day. It's not a big deal for us. There's no shame involved with the naked human body. And, of course, I think there are a lot of big-boobed nurses out there, too!"
In this photo set, Arianna Sinn-who is not a nurse in real-life-plays out the busty nurse fantasy, but not in the usual way. We didn't dress Arianna Sinn in a porno nurse's outfit. No. We put her in traditional nurse garb, knowing that it couldn't possibly hide her body. Before long, her uniform comes off, anyway, and Arianna Sinn is plugging her shaved pussy with a red, chrome dildo, something you won't find in many hospital rooms.
Busty nurses? You'll them in many hospital rooms. Hey, there's gotta be one good thing about getting sick, right?

The 2007 general election in Georgeland was held on Saturday, June 30, 2007 and was fought between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of the United Islands and the opposition Conservative Party of Georgeland. The Liberal Democrats attempted to win a third term in office under that name, and Prime Minister Zoe Parker sought her first electoral victory. The election saw the Conservatives win office for the first time since 1995, led by Luke Macaulay.
At the 2005 election, the Tories gained ten seats, for a total of 122. The government lost five for a total of 137; the LDP majority in the House of Commons is thirteen. To win, the Conservatives will have to capture nine seats, which is perfectly within the realm of possibility. The size of the House of Commons is expected to be increased following a redistribution in 2007; the new House of Commons will contain 265 members.
Prime Minister Parker announced in 2007 that the election will probably be a double dissolution - that is, both houses of Parliament will be dissolved, leading to an election of the full Senate. Normally this requires legislation to be rejected by either House twice; however, Parker said the government would seek to hold a dissolution with the consent of the State Governors; this would have been technically constitutional, but has never before been done.
With the Senate's blocking of the "mini-budget", a series of bills authorising several projects, the point became moot as Parker was given recourse to hold a double dissolution within constitutional scope.
Georgeland's elections are not presently fixed. However, in January 2007 the government made it very clear that they intended to hold the election "in the latter half" of 2007, and that future elections would be held on a fixed date. The latest date at which an election can be held is three years from the first sitting of the current House; May 6, 2008.
On March 27, 2007, the House of Commons passed the Parliamentary Reform Act 2007, which fixed the date for the election as the first Friday in August - in 2007, this will be August 3. However, as the law specifically excludes double dissolutions, the government was able to set the final date of June 30, with the 2010 election to take place in August of that year.
As the election was called on May 18, the voter registration period will end on May 25. The close of nominations for the ballot will be on June 1; however, both major parties and most minor parties have now completed the selection of candidates. Those candidates will still have to formally register by June 1 in order to be eligible to run.
The polls will open at 8am local time on Saturday, June 30 and close at 6pm the same day. The results of Western seats will come in first due to the time difference of an hour between the West and East. As Georgeland now uses electronic voting for most elections, with pencil-and-paper ballot papers provided as an option, preliminary results will be known by 9pm on Saturday evening. However, a complete set of results typically takes a week, or sometimes a fortnight, to be counted. Nonetheless, if this election is typical, the winner of the election will be known on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning.
The party that wins a majority of seats (or, if no party wins a majority, the party most capable of winning a majority vote) will be commissioned to form a government. The President will commission either Mrs. Parker or Mr. Macaulay (unless another party wins more seats, which is extremely unlikely) to form a government within three days of the poll, once the result is more certain. The new government cannot legally be sworn in until all votes are counted - typically, this would be within three weeks of the poll date.
The election will be held concurrently with local elections in 25 municipal and local authorities. The largest of these contests is the Topstad mayoral election, 2007.
Preselections for most parties, including all those currently in Parliament and the Greens, were carried out in the period from October 2006. Preselections in Georgeland can be decided more than a year ahead of the ballot, as the process is time-consuming.
A number of high-profile candidates are running in this election. Some of these include:
- Jennifer Duggan-Wright, former Tory leader in Long Island, is running against incumbent Holly Ellington in the seat of Wilkes. Polling shows her gaining the seat with an almost 10% swing to her.
- Michael Armstrong, another former state party leader, is running in the Capitalian seat of Bartlett. Armstrong is less popular as a former leader, but is still leading his opponent, Aida Justin, in all official polls.
Notable seats
The nine most marginal LDP-held seats, those most likely to fall to the Opposition with only a small swing, are:
- McGann, Scoita (Duncan Keyes); 0.1%
- Humphries, WM (Tina Jones); 0.3%
- Bartlett, Capitalia (Aida Justin); 0.3%
- Skinner, EM (Al Slattery); 0.5%
- Cunningham, EM (Dolores Colson); 0.7%
- Kingston, Bradmarch (Sophia Edwards); 1.0%
- Murray, EM (Chris Lendeldt); 1.2%
- Earlich, WM (Tony Parkman); 1.3%
- Northbay, WM (Tony Elmer); 1.3%
A Tory gain of 1.3% of the two-party preferred vote across all states (a "uniform swing of 1.3%) would therefore be enough to gain government for the Opposition. However, several Tory seats are below this threshold; the second-most marginal seat in the country, Pearmont, is held by incumbent Susanne Sewell by just 0.2%.
Present predictions based on polling data show a probable mean nationwide swing of between 2.4% to 4.7%, which would be enough to win between 15 and 30 seats. It should be noted swings are never uniform nation-wide.

Parties and Leaders
- Liberal Democratic Party of the United Islands - Zoe Parker, 46, has been leader of the governing LDP and Prime Minister since July 30, 2005. Parker's public image has softened somewhat since her ascention to the country's highest office, but her government has been marred by a number of serious scandals and a perception that she and her government are arrogant and aggressive. Parker will be fighting for election as Prime Minister in her own right. Parker is Georgeland's first female Prime Minister.
- Conservative Party of Georgeland - Luke Macaulay, 44, took over leadership of the Opposition in June 2006 after the unexpected and sudden death of his predecessor, Sam Richardson. Macaulay is considered the front-runner in most polls. A political moderate, Macaulay has attempted to redraw the Conservatives as a more centrist, responsible party and shift the image of the party away from the "blustering reactionary" viewpoint that has characterised it in the past.
- Georgeland Alliance - Michael Elderton, 58, will lead the Alliance into its second election. The former Prime Minister is a well-known figure, but Elderton is potentially in danger of losing his seat of Smithfield, as it has been targeted by both major parties. Most polls, however, show Elderton retaining his seat.
- Green Party of Georgeland - Current leader Greg Downes, 49, was formally elected as his party's leader in 2006. Downes will not recontest his formerly-held seat of Pamby, instead contesting the Senate as the lead candidate for the Green ticket in East Mainland.
The following are generally considered to be significant electoral issues for all parties at the general election.
The federal budget deficit has increased considerably since 2002 to a 30-year-high in 2006 of $11 billion. The Liberal Democrats have pledged to reign in government spending, but have been accused of hypocrisy in this owing to their attempt to pass a controversial "mini-budget" containing further expenditure, which the LDP denies counts as expenditure. The opposition Conservatives have proposed the outsourcing and privatisation of a number of government assets and a decrease in the size of the civil service. However, Liberal Democrats have suggested this will lead to unemployment and higher inflation, and have thrown into question the Conservative policy of tax cuts, claiming this will only increase the deficit. The Liberal Democrats are yet to outline a comprehensive economic plan.
Climate change
Both sides of politics support the Kyoto Protocol, which Georgeland ratified in 2002. However, they differ over methods to reduce carbon emissions by the required amount. The Liberal Democrats have enacted legislation forcing companies to comply with the emissions standards, which the Conservatives have attacked as anti-competitive. In 2006, Prime Minister Zoe Parker tabled a Climate Change White Paper, which recommended a national carbon trading scheme. A number of polluters have voluntarily signed onto a scheme, but the Parker government has consistently delayed legislation enshrining the scheme in law and refused to say whether or not it would make the scheme compulsory. The Opposition has pledged not to make the scheme compulsory and instead focus on research for renewable energy sources.
Government expenditure
The Conservatives have campaigned heavily on a theme of cutting down national expenditure and the 11 billion dollar budget defecit through reductions in government spending. The Conservatives have, however, been unwilling to name any specific agencies or departments that would suffer job losses and downsizing. The government has claimed the Conservatives would axe public sector jobs, and in the televised debate on June 22, Luke Macaulay admitted this would probably be the case but promised full compensation to those whose jobs are cut. Macaulay has also pledged to reduce wasteful spending in other areas and to reform welfare payments, and to cut foreign aid in the short term.
Ethics and accountability
Macaulay has depicted himself as "Mister Clean" and has attacked the government on its record in accountability. He has pointed to numerous scandals, particularly the Civic Bank Investment Scandal and a series of controversial appointments, such as Campbell Rhodes as ambassador to the United Nations and Charlotte LeBeau as ambassador to the EU as evidence of the government's increasingly corrupt behaviour. The Liberal Democrats have strongly defended their record in this area, and Prime Minister Parker has issued a full-page newspaper advertisement defending each of the contraversial appointments.
Urban development
The Conservatives have declared they will scrap the $2 billion urban development program as outlined in the government's "mini-budget", and re-divert those funds directly into communities to allow them best to decide how to use it. They have attacked the program as "pork barrelling" and accused the government of targeting marginal constituencies in the program in an attempt to buy votes. The Liberal Democrats maintain they are trying to fix serious problems that local and state governments aren't dealing with.
Centralism vs Federalism
The opposition has proposed a return to a less federalist form of government, allowing the individual states to govern independently and have input into or control over key policy areas. They have attacked such programs as the National Education Service as a violation of state control over Education, and have pledged to make state funding unconditional. The LDP government has for some time withheld funding unless state governments change policy to be in line with that of the federal government or other states. Luke Macaulay has pledged to discontinue this practice entirely. Zoe Parker has defended the government's record in this area and accused Macaulay and the Tories of disingenuity.
National Security
The LDP has pledged funding increases to FISIA and other law-enforcement bodies but maintains existing security arrangements are adequate. The opposition Defence spokesman, Martin Higgins, has pointed to several areas in which security needs to be improved. The Conservatives have promised to create a Coast Guard to defend against smuggling, but have not outlined how this will be achieved or where they will find the money to do so. The Tories have also pledged increases in defence spending, but, again, have not been specific about how this will be achieved without further government expenditure.
The Conservatives oppose the National Education Service as unnecessary and wasteful, and have promised to replace it with a national regulating body and curriculum review board, while leaving education predominantly in the hands of the states. The government has claimed the NES is effective in providing parents with choices between public and private schools.
The Liberal Democrats are divided over the issue of private school funding. The party's left oppose all state aid to non-state schools, while the right wing of the party believes funding independent schools keeps them competitive. The LDP's decision in 2006 to reinstate state funding to non-government schools was highly contraversial. The Conservatives have pledged more than $400 million in funding for non-government schools and have suggested a school voucher program.
The Greens have campaigned heavily on education, with their policy being to abolish all state aid to non-government schools and double the funding placed into public education.
The government has stated it would keep the NHS fully intact and continue its healthcare funding initiatives. The Conservatives have pledged not to abolish the NHS as the government claims, but Macaulay has stated several times, including during the debate, that the NHS needs "fixing" and that a Tory government would "re-evaluate" the role of the National Health Service. They have also promised to help private insurers become more viable and provide better services, something the Liberal Democrats oppose.
