    Looking for a Maharaja partial grain recipe

    I was planning on making the switch to all grain for my next batch but can't afford it at the moment. So I just saw a great thread on here about partial mashing and it looks really simple. I am going to try my hands at this first. I am looking for a Maharaja clone to try out. If anyone has a...

    Can't quite grasp making starter yeast....

    Hey everyone! As I am sure you can tell I am a complete n00b in brewing. I am very into it and very into doing it correctly. I just got done reading Palmer's "How to Brew" for the SECOND time today. After the first read and additional research I wanted to read again to pick up on more things...
