  I brew outside with a turkey fryer that was acquired from academy, it is a propane burner. Also
  I would suggest asap to get a bigger kettle, if you enjoy the hobby, it will be so much easier
  in the lo...

  Great question and response. I've learned to adapt to the change but I always wondered why it
  drops so low. It sounds like I need to purchase yet another gadget for my beer.

  I plan on brewing this next weekend and I have a question about raising the mash from 145 to
  155. I'm relatively new to AG so I've never done this before. I read some people actually
  poured the mash i...

  I broke down and bought a PH meter and I used it this past weekend. My question is when do you
  take the reading? I waited 10 minutes to take a sample. I cooled the sample down to 71 degrees
  and I got ...

  Since that post I've had it twice and I just picked up a new bottle to age for at least a year.

  Has anyone had Firestone Walker's Sucaba? They have it at my local brewstore, but I haven't
  bought a bottle yet due to the $15 price tag.The reviews are phenomenal so I might pick up a
  bottle today.I'...

  Two pounds of crystal isn't too much for an American amber- you can easily to go 15% for a nice
  beer as long as it's hopped correctly.Instead of 2 pounds of crystal 60L, though, I'd "layer"
  the crysta...

  It is a 5 gallon batch and I'm using 12 pounds of 2 row in addition to the crystal. This is
  only my 2nd AG beer which is why I'm estimating the low side. Im batch sparging and not

  I was scaling my amber ale recipe in Beersmith to account for my efficiency. Beersmith still
  had the SRM pretty light so I also scaled the crystal 60 to 2 lbs Is 2 lbs of 60 too much? I
  have 12 lbs of...
