    sparging method?

    I am about to bottle my first partial mash so I'm working out my plans to do my first all grain. For the parital mash the grain quantity was pretty small so I had the grains in a grain bag and teabagged them in the sparge water. I'm guessing this will be increasingly tricky as the grain...

    capping high shoulder bottles

    Malfunctioning Plastic Coopers Hydrometer

    I'm just getting started brewing so I went with one of those Coopers kits as it looked like a easy way to start. I'm doing the Lager that came in the box. So my issue is the plastic hydrometer. I took the inital SG reading after getting things going and it read 1035 (at 24C). I'm aware that...
