    a lady hit my PARKED car!

    Quickest brewday EVER!

    I agree. Did you consider making your brew day longer? get up early and mash in. then let it sit for a few hours and then get done what you need to. come back later and sparge boil. That way you can split it up and get done what you need to in between. IF it is not too windy out i can...

    Is a secondary really necessary (or helpful) for most ales?

    I recently switched to primary only, and i think my beers have improved, and brewing has become easier. I think that clarity of the beer should be a non-issue when it comes to secondaries.

    Looking for the reddest color in my brew

    I like using the roasted barley for my reds, i like the flavor that comes out of it better than the other malts listed. i made a red with all armarillo not to long ago and it was spectacular one of the best beers i have ever made.

    Remember When I was Complaining about Losing Eff. Between the Boil and the Sparge?

    Efficiency stays the same no matter the boil. IT all depends on the volume that goes into the fermenter. You OG will be higher but you will have less wort. If you increase the volume of water you use for sparge and then boil vigouroulsy to get a larger boil off and same volume then you would be...

    bottling camp vs kegging camp

    I think that the bottles have the advantage of variety. When i was bottling i always had four or five drinkable beers to drink. Now that my kegerator only holds two kegs i am only drinking two different beers at at a time and have to wait till the keg is gone till i move on. Needles to say i...
