    How to avoid buying old hops?

    Can you tell the age or "harvest year" before you buy a bag of hop pellets? I've never seen a lable or "expiration date" or "harvest date" type info on a bag. Is there any kind of industry standard? I'm thinking of buying bulk (1lb) bags to save some money, but since they'll be in my...

    crackling noise from rubbermaid mash tun

    Hi, I just made a mash tun from a 10-gallon rubbermaid cooler (the "standard" build that I see all over). I did notice that the inside liner is slightly warped inwards, if that matters. I just tested it with hot water (180-ish *F). It kept making a "crackling" noise. After about 20 seconds...

    stove top boil pots

    New homebrewer here. I'd like to brew a couple good batches and confirm that this is a good hobby for me before spending too much more money on start up. So, I'm hoping I can do all grain 5-gallon batches on my stove top. I'm reading that others here seem to do that successfully. I have...
