  Yep, we've got some cold water this time of year in Wisconsin, so I went from boiling to 75
  degrees in around 10-12 minutes. Awesome! The only problem I had is that the adapter I got with
  the chiller ...

  with my new wort chiller! Brother in law gave me a gift certificate to our LHBS. After a year
  of saying "I'll just make a chiller" I finally broke down and bought one. Oh sweet heaven! It
  cut my brew ...

  I just pulled out some washed yeast that I've had in the fridge for just over a year. I was
  really skeptical about it being viable. I made a starter, and a day later...nothing. So I
  pulled out another...

  Just opened the first bottle from my second batch. This recipe is going to be a house staple.
  Amazing recipe. I now see how important it is to hit the candi syrup temperature dead on - in

  Just tried the first bottle. It's only been bottled for 3 weeks, and while it's quite good,

  can smell slig...

  So.... This is going to be my next batch. I have a few questions though. I am planning on doing
  no sparge BIAB method. Has anyone else done this before?.You can do BIAB with this recipe just
  like any ...

  It's kind of hard to tell from the photos, but it does look to me like it could be milled quite
  a bit finer. You really don't have to worry about going too fine with BIAB. Sure, you can turn
  your grai...

  I guess I should clarify. This isn't about getting a clear beer as a final product. To me it's
  about making it easier to transfer just the good stuff from the boil to the primary, and
  subsequently to ...

  I finally got around to bottling the porter last weekend. Usually I have to leave a substantial
  amount of beer in the primary when transferring to my bottling bucket just because of the
  amount of "jun...

  I just bottled a batch of this yesterday. I'm not much of a dark beer kind of guy (the dark you
  can chew), but my plan was to brew this for my father and brother-in-law for Thanksgiving. I
