My first all grain BIAB is fermenting in a carboy and I have never seen a beer so cloudy. I think there are several reasons for it, mash temperature hit 160 for about a minute, I do not have a immersion chiller and it took about a hour to cool the beer to 75 pitching temperature. Also, I...

Your sage words of advice are appreciated and you are right. I see many posts regarding partners that are less than supportive. She is great with my brewing and I am appreciative. If she gets it, she gets it, at least she is supportive. You are right! Thanks

YooperBrew: Advice received and appreciated. I am with you on the NASCAR thing. I am not trying to change her as much as have her (kinda) be as excited as I am about this great hobby, and partaking in the fruit of its efforts. I am starting to hear grumbles about all the "beer stuff" I read...

5 gallons.

I live in Asheville, hopefully I can help. I would suggest hitting the Thirsty Monk for sure, they have all Belgian beer on the bottom floor and American microbrews on the second. One place that is a must, is the Wedge Brewery. They make great beer and are minutes from downtown. Stop by...
