I have been wanting to nail down a water adjustment "recpie" if you will for a porter/ stout. My tap water is frustrating because my city dosent test for the minerals we need to look for. But my water is hardish, Hardness is around 110-140 my pale ales come out pretty good though. I brewed a...

I planted two rizomes last year, a Cascade and a Fuggle. I cant remember which is which. They are both growing like gangbusters, but one is growing faster than the other. I'm inclined to think that one maybe the Cascade. Cascade is know to grow well in my area NW Ohio. How could I tell...

I think it went pretty well, I had my temps right on. I only have a 5 gallon converted cooler MLT. At the end of my boil I had only 4 gallons of wort. The my OG was 1.060 and it should have been around 1.051. I added 1 gallon of water to make it 1.051. I hope thats alright. I couldn't get any...

I'm making the leap to AG, and there are just so many recipes out there, I don't know what to brew first, any suggestions? Thanks!
