My first lager is happily fermenting away in my basement. I do not have. Slavering fridge but I do have cold temps so I figured why not give it a try. My question is, if it is fermenting and showing active signs (left over cold brake stirring around) is there such a thing as too cold? I do...

Ok I learned and ran into a few things on this my first 10 gallon batch. I used a bigger cooler but had to make my manifold smaller. 24 lbs in too small of a cooler will get stuck. I also had bought pre crushed grain that was crushed a little finer than I am use to using. So I...

I was looking at this website, http://www.brewsupplies.com/grain_profiles.htm I notice you don't have to mash some grains, I understand this is probably something obvious to most. The two AG batches I have done I just put all the grain in the mash. What do I do with grain that doesn't...

I have been reading this forum for a few weeks trying to learn as much as I can. Before last night I had done 3 extract kits. So I decided to make my own recipe and AG at the same time. Some background on me is that I have been making wine since I was 12 with my father and average about 40...
