  A good friend got married last year. He decided to rent a huge house near Breckenridge, CO for

  PVH, thanks for your input. I am a relatively new brewer and am still trying to find my way
  around the block. Am I correct in understanding that the earlier in the boil the hops are
  added, the more bi...

  Denver and n...

• Posted in thread: How important is fermenting temp? on 04-12-2012 at 08:02 PM
  On a scale of 1 to 2, 1 meaning it does not matter and 2 meaning it is critical, fermentation
  temp is a 2. There are a ton of ways to keep the temp down. Do a search for a simple swamp

  If you can swing it, 2 kettles will reduce your brewing time significantly since bringing the
