  I recently switched from iodophor to starsan. I used distilled water and keep the starsan in
  two 10L plastic cans - I wanted to use it from batch to batch. I did some bottled one batch
  racked another ...

• Posted in thread: Quick help: can I mill grains in coffee grinder? on 11-12-2010 at 12:04 PM
  I find the baggie rolling pin doesn't work.What does work - it'd take flipping ages - is a
  heavy glass and a bread board. Strew the grains very sparsely over it and crush with the bottom
  of the glass....

  Sadly I really haven't left it long enough to do it justice! I don't know. I think your thread
  title suggests that justice has indeed been done in beer form. I can't remember which brewery
  it is, but ...

  When doing AG always take a preboil gravity. This will tell you whether you have reached you
  target or you have to add some extract.ex: Target OG 1.042@5g= 42X5= 210 gravity pointsgravity

  Challenger? Exquisite!I'd have said old ale too, but Old Peculiar it ain't, not at 1.092.
  Perhaps, it's something approximating a historical mild ale. I don't know, looking at Wheeler,
  I have difficul...

  I got a hold of some California Common yeast. To my shame I've never tried Anchor Steam beer,
  but this recipe is beautiful in its simplicity, so I'm going to give it a go.It's going to be a
  weird Brit...

  That's a great question.I read in Homebrew for Dummies that one shouldn't crush the darker
  grains. I mentioned this on another forum and was told that homebrew for dummies was only good

  I've been asking people to save me their bottles and someone just dropped off 24 bottles -
  saved my bacon, all my bottles are full (what a nice situation to be in) - until I saw that
  they were twist o...

  170.5 is the strike temp Hold mash at 158.0 for 45 minI have another question. This is a high
  mash temp. As a dry stout I would have expected a lower mash temperature in order for it to
  ferment dry. I...

  apparently not...I Tried that exact recipe and the Acid Malt didn't give me what I was looking
  for. I was talking to someone at the Lhbs about 2 months ago and he told me about the Souring
  guiness. I ...
