Okay so I have really started getting into scotch this year. I quickly learned single malt was for me, I even bought a set of those Glencairn glasses cause I got sick of drinking it from a kolsch glass. I bought a couple bottles, normal stuff like 12 year Highland and Glennlivitt, which both...

A BOY!!! We found out yesterday during the 18 week ultrasound. My wife and I both were kinda hoping for a son, so needless to say we are both wicked excited. A little brewing asistant is on the way.

Well I brewed my second all-grain batch on Monday morning and thought I might share a few pictures. It was a Kiwi-Wit brewed from an all-grain recipe I found on here. The original recipe was a extract recipe from Extreme Brewing by Sam Calagione. Mashing While I was mashing I cleaned...

So it seems like my starting gravity is always about 8-10 points higher then it should be. My last few brews have been high. I did check my hydrometer in some distilled water so I know it reads correctly. I do full extract boils with steeping grains. Today I brewed a IPA with 8 lbs of DME...

I have a recipe for a Chimay red clone that calls for 6.6 lbs of Marris Otter light LME but it seems that no one carries it anymore. Does anyone know of anyplace that sells it? If I can't find it, what would be a good sub for it? Thanks

I recently brought some 1/2 gallon growlers for bringing homebrew to parties and out to friends house. So this weekend I brought 3 1/2 gallon growlers to a party and actaully ended up bringing...
