Hmm, thanks for all the tips. Maybe I'll just wait until I order StarSan before putting this batch in, no sense in wasting a whole batch of beer just because I wanted to get this one done.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Oxi-Clean-0075703751650/19406200 That's what I was looking at, is that acceptable?

Thanks for the quick response, I'd rather avoid using bleach unless absolutely necessary. I just saw that Lowes has a 5lb container of Oxiclean for 10 bucks, I might pick that up until I can order a tub of StarSan online or something. Would you recommend Oxiclean over bleach? It's sort of a...

Seeing as how Myrtle Beach doesn't have a LHBS I need to find a store that will supply me with a good sanitizer, Walmart didn't really have anything along the lines of what I was looking for. I started looking at the Lowes website but didn't really find anything that specific. Does anyone...

Do not use dish soap in a dishwasher, you will end up with soap suds all over your kitchen floor! If your dishwasher has a sanitize setting, use that. It heats up the bottles hot enough to sanitize it. The soap is really unnecessary as the chances of it making it into the bottles is slim to...

Do you mean hoppy? I used this scale to see that flavor. Obviously it's not completely accurate but I'm aiming for a little more on the hoppy side.

I've never heard that, thanks for the tip. I'll look into that! Also, I updated the recipe again with the 10lb grain bill and the hops. Will this produce a hoppy beer? Thanks for all the help you guys, I'll take all the tips and hints in mind. I know that it's about trial and error but I'd...

Yeah, I'm interested in an update on this as well. Alpine Spring is one of my favorites. I'd like to try this for a end of summer brew.

Thanks for the prompt response Catman. I updated it a little, took 2 lbs off the grain bill as well as added more hops. Does that look a little better? Trying to figure out all grain is hard. But I guess I have to learn at some point Tim Edit: I could substitute palisade hops instead of the...

Haha, well I was trying to keep the estimated IBU around 29ish. So I should dial back the wheat a bit huh? :P By how much, if you don't mind me asking? Should I add some strictly aroma hops as well? Zythos is listed as aromatic&bittering, same with Cascades. The Magnums are the one with the...

This would be an interesting try for maybe 1 or 2 beers if it's just a tootsie roll profile. Hope it turns out well. If you end up posting the recipe I may try with a small batch.

Hey everyone, I'm a sort of beginner home brewer here but have been reading about it for a while and finally decided to actually do it seriously. This is my first all-grain batch because it just seemed like extracts was cheating. Well anyway on to the important stuff, my dad is coming down to...
