    Time constrained brew - any recommendations?

    I have about a month at home and then i'll be away for 4 months. I'm looking for recommendations for a brew that i can fit into those time constraints. A little background… i consider myself an emerging rookie brewer. I have done 10 extract kits and have moved to BIAB (twice!) with good...

    Hi all, newb from Alaska

    Hi, i have been lurking here for a while and it's time to log in and join the discussion. I would describe myself as an emerging rookie brewer. I've done 9 extract kits with good results; oviously learning lots along the way. My goal is to get into BIAB and build an electric one-kettle set...
