How long can beer grain be stored and still be good for brewing?
It depends, but the short answer is Not very long. Has the grain been rolled and cracked/crushed? Has it been stored in an air-tight bag or container? Have the mice found it yet?! The best bet is to use it very soon after you purchase it -- a few weeks, certainly not more than a few months, under the best conditions. Cracked grain, dry and stored well, several months. Uncracked and dry... years.

What happens when a bottled beer is frozen Is it still good Will the bottle break?
I left a 20 pack of bud light on the back porch and it got down to -10. Several of the bottles froze solid with no leakage. Two bottles "seeped" beer down the sides which promptly froze to the bottles. Chances are slim that a bottle will break before the bottlecap "leaks" or pops off entirely. The beer was a little flat, but better than no beer at all. I left a 20 pack of bud light on the back porch and it got down to -10. Several of the bottles froze solid with no leakage.

If you keg home brew can you drink it immediately with a Co2 tank?
Yes, after fermentation is done anyway. With a C02 tank and a Cornelius keg (old pop keg) you can either set the pressure to dispensing pressure ~5 psi or less for a week or two, or bring the pressure up to about 30-35 psi for a night and roll the key around to get some better C02 absorption, then turn the pressure back down (letting the excess pressure off the keg) to about ~5 psi again. The 30-35 psi for a night is called forced pressurization and that's about the quickest way to get carbonated homebrew.

How do you make non-alcoholic wine?
NOTE: This recipe has no copyright. This non alcoholic drink recipe is taken from the book "Dr. Chase's Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book, Memorial Edition" by Dr. Alvin Wood Chase, M.D., published by F. B. Dickerson Company, Detroit and Windsor, in 1891.
The juice of grapes, blackberries, raspberries, etc., pressed out without mashing the seeds, adding water, 1 pint, and sugar, 1/2 pound for each pint of the juice; then boil a few minutes, skimming if any sediment or scum rises, and bottling while hot, corking tightly, cutting off the corks, and dipping the tops into wax, and keeping in a dry, cool place, gives a wine that no one would object to, if iced when drank.
How much beer does the Miller Brewing Company make?

Skoal rings are rings created by carrying a can of Skoal (or other smokeless tobacco) in the rear pocket of a pair of jeans. The fabric of the jeans wears out around the tin and makes a lighter color circle on the back pocket the same size and shape of the tin. See the link below for an example.
About 10,000 years ago when there were Hunter-Gatherers. (Cave men)
It was likely it was created by total accident. They left out some barley they ate for nutrients and they went to go hunt. While they were gone it rained and then the container of barley was full of water. A few weeks passed and the Hunter-Gatherers came back the container was full of 'beer' and they tried to taste it and they loved it so they made more.
Lagers are beers using a bottom fermenting yeast which works at a lower temp than Ale yeast. The lower temp takes longer to work so they are "lagerd" [German for "stored"] Lagering makes them smoother but has nothing to do with the amount of hops they contain. FYI: The only Pilsners with few hops are the so called American pilsners made by the big boys [AB, Miller, Coors, etc.] these are actually American Style Lagers which are falsely called Pilsners.
How does alcohol distillation work?
The steam goes through the pipe then get turned to a liquid which then creates the finished product. This is to do with purification and when you evaporate the alcoholic drink (it must have already been fermented), pure alcohol can be produced. This can be added to other drinks to fortify them. eg. port
How long does it take to make beer?
It depends. You can turn around a low alcohol ale in a couple weeks. It usually takes a commercial brewer 3-4 weeks to make a regular strength ale. Same time frame for a homebrewer making a regular strength ale. Force carbonating your beer, rather than bottle conditioning, will make it faster, probably in the 2-3 week range.
Higher alcohol beers take longer as they need more time to ferment and, in many case, need some time for the beer to age to mellow it. Some styles, like Imperial Stout, can take 6 months before they are ready.
Lagers take several more weeks than ales, at least, as they need to cold age (aka lager) to finish fermenting and clean up yeast leftovers from fermentation.
Hard water in a brewery would give the drink a taste perfect for bitters lagers, and stout where as a soft water for much sweeter beverages if this is a question on what drink it is best for lagers bitters and stouts are the most commonly created beers using hard water.

We do not know the alcohol content of Barbican for certain. However, all "non-alcoholic" beers and wines contain trace amounts of alcohol. Label requirements for "non-alcoholic" beers and wines vary from country to country, but the cutoff is usually around 0.5% alcohol by volume.
