[ale] OT? - Climate Change Will Cause Beer Shortages and Price Hikes

[Jim Kinney]

The enzymes required for starch conversion are only good for about a
year even sealed in airtight containers and the malted grain is
uncrushed.  :-(
My 50# bag went from a yield of 6% ABV to 1.3% ABV in 2 years with the
same method and processing.
My last batch from that grain purchase I added the amylase enzyme
directly (about 1 cup, found a bag at Buford Hwy Farmers Market in the
rice, grains, other aisle) and got back up to 6.5%.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
