Subject: Carboy Water Spots 

Parker asks about the subject matter and points out that PBW  
and Straight-A seem to have no effect (thanks for trying it,  
Parker!-- hope you like it). 

I'm guessing that the spots are an alkaline scale such as  
calcium or magnesium carbonate.  Both PBW and Straight-A  
have a pretty good amount of alkaline carbonate in them  
already, so they certainly won't help the problem (and if  
you're in a hard water area, it might make it worse).  To  
remove a scale, you need acid.  Vinegar is a mild and easy,  
although stinky, solution.  25% Phosphoric is a good way to  
go as well (say 1 part of your 85% that you have for acidifying  
the mash to 2 parts water).  If it's a light scale, a single rinse  
will do it.  If it's heavy, you might need a soak.

Subject: Recipie book 

I have just recieved my last book on beer recipes 
"Beer Captured" by Tess and Mark Szamatulski 
and i thought i should see if i could find some 
familiar beers here. 
I looked up 2 beers that i have made myself many times 
and i think i do make them much according to how 
they are made at their respective breweries. 
A) Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier 
This beer is supposedly made with 100% rauchmalt, 
i have tried using the malt from Weiermann and it makes 
a superb Schlenkerla clone, i add a little chocolate for 
colour. 
B) Einbecker Ur-bock 
Here it should be at least 70% munich malt, probaly the 
dark type (this i cant get) the rest pilsner and chocolate 
for colour. 

The recipies in the book are entierly different, the Schlenkerla 
contains only 28% german Rauch malt, the rest is pilsner and 
mynchener and of all things belgian cara-munich malt this is 
not very likely for a schlenkerla clone. 

The Einbecker in the book has only 45% munich malt and the 
rest pilsner malt + a little belgian cara munich and belgian biscuit. 

I find it odd that these recipies are so different to the content 
in the original beers they are trying to clone. 
Its well known what these two beers conist of as far as malts 
go. 
Have anybody else noticed this, and it makes me wonder if the 
other recipes have the same odd contents. 
Cheers 
Jens

Subject: Flying Dog Pale Ale Clone 

I am trying to clone the Flying Dog Pale Ale. Between drinking it 
and looking at their web site I have a vague idea of how to start out, but 
am still relativley new to the craft and could use a little help. If any one  
has 
a clone recipe for this or could at least get me in the ball park with a  
recipe 
I sure would appreciate it. A private responce would be fine at 
misbrewhaven at hotmail.com Oh and btw I am just the lowly extract brewer 
currently, I have to pay for a wedding berfore the fiance will let me buy 
all of the needed equipment for all grain brewing. :-( 

Thanks, 
Joe B.
