I order from the internet 3-4 batches at a time. I order the specialty grains crushed. Sometimes by the time I get to the last batch or two its been over a month. Am I working with truly stale grains? Is it worth trying to purchase my specialty grains from a LHBS in the week before brewing...

Hey guys, I am creating my own stout recipe and I'm not sure how much steeping grains I should use. I am aiming for a pretty big, bold brew here... Northern Brewer lets you order 1lb crushed quantities of grains to steep, do I need to reduce the quantities for this recipe? What is the...

Hey everyone - I just returned from 6 weeks on tour, having left my russian imperial stout in the basement since 5/13. After a week, I was able to check on it and saw no sign of activity. I was puzzled but saw no course of action but to leave and let time happen. I was able to look again...
