Then there is the risky side affect of "beer goggles", which, of course, gave rise to the term "coyote ugly". Sadly, I haven't had a beer since the day I left my ex.

Beer is fine the way it is. Sorry to be negative, but I'm always leery of food companies tweaking otherwise natural products in an attempt to make it what they think I will like. Haven't seen a success story yet.

The hop oils, however, easily vaporize during the boil. Lager brewers add another dose of hops at the end of the boil to boost aroma. Ale brewers wait until the end of the entire brewing process to add extra hops. This produces the stronger hop aroma common to many ales.

These are termed "finishing hops" to distinguish them from the "boil hops." You can also add hops after the wort is cooled if you take care to ensure that they contain no bacterial or wild-yeast contaminants - this is termed "dry hopping."

Science and beer. Sigh! Could there be a higher calling?

BTW, the advice about "fresh beer" isn't always good. Many "big" ales are bottle-conditioned, meaning they change in character over time and MUST be kept for a certain period. The Russian Imperial Stouts can take up to six months for this.

Nah, it's been 16 years and one day today since I've had a beer.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Beer.

Nothing beats a good home-brew.

I'm thinking I need to start a new batch.
