munich LME

A neighbor gave me a 3.3 lb jug of Munich malt LME, he claimed that it clouds his beer so he didn't use it anymore. Is this true?

Actually... I bought both the 600 and the 400. The 600 does a fine job. It is actually finer than a muslin sack.

clean-up

I have used the paint strainer bags for years also. I always rested the bag in a collader when I removed it from the wort. That meant cleaning the collander and cleaning and washing the bag. I like...

Oh!

This was a perfect example of doing too many things at once. I'll bet that distractions are responsible for most brewing errors. This was a recipe that I was reducing into a halve batch. Reduced...

Same old thing

I'm getting burned out on the heavy grapefruit notes that are so prominant in all the pale ale's nowdays. Can anybody recommend a hop(s) substitution that will be a refreshing change.
