When you add a significant amount of rice hulls to your mash, do you need to take that into account when calculating your water to grist ratio? For example: (5 lbs 2-row, 5 lbs wheat malt, .5 lb rice hulls) would that be 10 or 10.5 lbs plugged into the equation?

So I just finished trying out my new Bayou Classic SQ-14 propane burner and I had one problem. It easily heated 5 gallon of water to a rolling boil in 27 minutes, but when I removed the kettle lid I could never get it up past 210, so it never really stayed at a 'rolling boil'. I had the tank...

If so where? How common is it to find something like that? Is there any hope for me in the MD/VA/WV area?

Could I substitute Belgian caravienne for Belgian aromatic and get the same results? Do they have the same flavor profiles?

Any opinions on what yeast would be best in a winter spiced ale? I have a few ideas but would like your opinions.

So yesterday I brewed a Blonde Ale. I transfered the wort to the 5 gallon fermenter and pitched the yeast around 3:00 or so. I just realized this morning that I didn't put any water into the airlock. How will this effect my fermentation. What are the chances that it has oxidized?

This is my second all extract brew and I'm assembling the ingredients by myself this time (My first was a Mr. Beer porter). How does this look? (4 Gallon Boil) 2 lbs Briess Golden Light malt extract 2 lbs Briess Golden Light malt extract (at 10 min) 1 lb Briess 10L Crystle malt (Steep 30...

Is there a general calculation or can dry be substituted 1 to 1?

My hop selection is limited: Fuggle, Cascade, Willamette, Hallertauer, Kent Goldings and Cluster. Any suggestions?

So I just bottled my first porter from a hopped LME kit. I'd like to move on to a DME pale or blonde ale 5 gal. recipe next and was wondering if anyone had any good ideas. Here is what the local brewshop has in terms of light DME (which isn't much), yeast and hops: Pilsen light and Golden...
