Hi all, I brewed 2 batches of IPA on March 3, using the same grain bill for both, but different hops, added in the same amounts and times. I also pitched two different yeasts, and have seen a puzzling difference in fermentations. I'd like to get some thoughts on what may have happened, and what...

I am making a saison this weekend in the true spirit of the style by using only the ingrdients on hand, and not making a trip to the LHBS before brew day. It will be a 10 gallon batch made mostly with Pilsner malt, some wheat, some Vienna, some honey, and hopped with Saaz. I had one packet of...

I just got my brand new Monster Mill MM2-Pro in the mail today, and I will be making 4 10-gallon batches on Saturday, grinding my own grain for the first time. I buy in bulk from my LHBS and have always ground the grain there. They have told me they use the factory setting on their monster...

Hi all, I am preparing to upgrade my mash tun from a 10 gal orange rubber made cooler with a false bottom in order to accomodate more grain/water to make bigger beers. I usually shoot for 11 gallons into my fermentors, so as I have been moving to experimenting with IIIPAs and Belgians with SG...
