I just did a partial-mash Irish Red yesterday, I guess I've taken a weird path in brewing because this was my first time using WLP001 Cal Ale yeast. I pitched a 2l starter into a 67 degree wort at 1 am last night, this morning the ferment was going great, already a good amount of Krausen, but...

It looks very likely that this fall I'll be moving in or around East Lansing, MI (to attend MSU Law School BOOYA! Sorry I'm still a little excited). I'm not very familiar with the area and I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good LHBS. When I google I get Red Salamander in Grand...

I've been having a small problem with my buddies since I started this hobby, and I was wondering if you folks ever ran into this and might have any suggestions. I have NEVER had them drink one of my beers without some argument over the way to drink it. I'm down with letting people do what...

Hi guys, I attempted to make a batch of Edwort's except with cider instead of juice. It was pasteurized unfiltered cider from a local apple farm. I'm thinking I might have a stuck fermentation but I wanted to get some other opinions if possible. I made it on Monday, I had a problem where I...

Hey guys, I'm just posting to say that I'm about to brew my second batch this Wednesday, I have the day off to take care of some business and when I'm home it's brew-time! Thanks to this site I think this brew will be way better than my first, even though my first brown ale is still a...

Hi, I've got my first batch of Brown Ale sitting in my primary fermenter as we speak. I'm hoping to get to the point of brewing my own mead but I'm interested in learning a lot of different things along the way!
