  This is a good write up from Beersmith: (Approx. 4th paragraph from end) another good write up
  on the process: do a variation of the two. My process is to use 2 quarts of filtered water per

  Personally, I have fell in love with cold-steeping the dark grains and adding the "dark grain

• Posted in thread: Upright side by side fridge/freezer or chest freezer? on 11-01-2012 at 04:46 PM
  It all comes to personal preference and actual use when what type of freezer to purchase. I

• Posted in thread: help with lager please! on 10-19-2012 at 07:54 PM
  If your refrigerator can hold the upper 40's to low 50's steady then that is your best option.

• Posted in thread: can I lager without temp control? on 10-19-2012 at 04:01 AM
  It would be pretty difficult. Best option would be to build or get a temperature controller and
  use your fridge in conjunction to save the waste of effort and supplies on what would more than
  likely t...
