I got a new Victoria grain mill this weekend and it is covered in what appears to be oil or grease, I assume to keep it from rusting. How should I clean it? I could only find one thread regarding this on the forum where someone says you should wash it with soap and water then apply a coat of...

So I did my first AG on Friday and everything went pretty good, hit all my temps and gravity. I batch sparged using a ten gallon cooler with a SS braided line but despite vorlaufing many times a large amount of grain husks etc. still made it into my fermenter. Is this gonna effect taste or...

I'm building my own immersion chiller and I bought some (what i think is copper) compression fittings for the hose attachments and inside the bags are little slips of paper stating "This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other...

I plan on getting into all-grain brewing soon and bought a Backyard Classic Lobster combo propane burner and 10 gallon pot, model #997. Is this good for homebrewing? It has a 10 psi adjustable regulator if that means anything.

I'd like to brew the American Amber Ale from Brewing Classic Styles and it calls for 0.7 lb. of Munich LME which I can not find. Can I replace it with the all grain option of 1 lb. of Munich malt and include it with the steeping grains?

Hello all, I've recently started home brewing (in July). I've been focusing on kits to get a hang of things. Tonight I attempted my First hack (don't know my terminology here) of a kit and converted a cream ale kit into a ruby porter. Hopefully things turn out. This forum is great...
