So, my wife has thrown down the gauntlet. She has set me to the task of producing a salted chocolate caramel beer. By basic plan is this. Produce a sweet stout, somehow make it salty, and adjunct it with caramel and chocolate. The sweet stout and adjunct part will be pretty strait forward...

I have a double stout that I am planning, and was considering a 90 min boil to help get my gravity up, and potentially to get the most out of my hops. I believe that a longer boil time will increase the polymerization of the alpha acids, creating a greater bittering effect, but what else does...

Just bought one. Thought it would be great for dry hopping. Thoughts, opinions, comments?

So, this is my first post. As a quick background, my wife, brother in-law, and I started home brewing last June, and have been brewing about 10 gal/month since. I think we just did our 25th batch. For Christmas we upgraded to all grain, and have brewed four batches so far, a barley wine...
