I'm heading to France (actually killing time at the airport as I type this). Anyone have any recommendations for local beer to check out on my trip? Or any breweries worth visiting? I'll be in Paris, Rennes, and Nice if that makes a difference. Museums are great and all... But...

I'm right there with you, brother. My first (extract) batch isn't even done carbonating yet, and I have a propane burner, mash tun, HLT, and kegs being delivered this weekend, and I'm in the middle of retrofitting my brew kettle with a thermometer, ball valve, and sight glass. Brewing from...

So despite my best attempts at RDWHAHBing, I was beginning to worry. My first batch (Midwest's Irish Stout extract kit) was brewed before I understood the importance of temperature control. It fermented on the counter, ambient temperature of 75, fermometer reached the low 80s. At bottling...

First post, third brew day! Scottish Export 80/- kit from Midwest. First batch using liquid yeast (instead of the Munton's that skips with the entry-level Midwest kits). Picked up some Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale from the LHBS this morning. Seems from the forums that I've been under pitching low...
