Home Brewing Biography: I started by looking into moonshine stills on the internet. While looking I stumbled across home brew info and searched out a LHBS. As of April '08 I have been brewing for a year now and I really like it. As with most brewers, I started with a can of extract. My second beer was a kit with steeping grains. I started reading on the interweb and here on HBT and started fromulating my own recipes and experimenting with different ingrediants. Soon I was doing partial mashes and eventually started brewing all grain. I guess I have been brewing all grain for about 6 or 7 months. HBT has been amazing source of knowledge and I read on here almost everyday. I brew what I like, and I like what I brew. I brew mostly ales because they quick and easy and can ferment at room temperature. Thanx for all the help!

The pressure drops a lot when it gets cold. Don't worry about it. I keep mine at 12 psi but
there is a little trial and error and tweeking depending on your guage. Don't turn it down to
that pressure....

They probably need a little more time at room temperature. Take them out of the 'fridge and let
them sit at 70 degrees for a week or so and then see how they are. Three weeks at 70 is
generally the mi...

We don't talk about distilling on homebrewtalk because it is illegal in the U.S.

You could also plan on slightly larger batches if you want to bottle some. Bump up your batches
by a gallon and you can easily bottle up 10-12 beers and you still have a full keg. Of course
this only ...
