Thanks, Folks Am i right to worry about burning the grain on the element?

Hello, Everyone I am on my second all grain brew and thanks to a few posts on this forum, this one seems to be going ok.. I'm bottling it tomorrow as long as my sugar has arrived. Anyway, the question i have for you all is this: I use a thermostat controlled, electric mashtun. It's 5...

Nice one, fellas.. I will look them up as we're going to be touring about a little anyway. I have heard of Rogue, and I think i had some as my girlfriend brought a few bottles back the last time she went. They were all lovely... i was really, really impressed. I now defend American beers...

Thanks for that, AJF. I will get myself some and prime it in a barrel. I have moved it to the secondary vessel this weekend, and it tastes ok! I took half a wine bottle worth so i can keep my eye on it. Let's hope it stays uncontaminated until it matures. Thanks to everyone for...

Thanks, Chaps... Very helpful. Just a couple of questions... I was planning to bottle straight from my secondary fermenter. is it wise to move it from there to a priming bucket, mix sugar with it, and then bottle it from there? if doing that, do you guys recommend ordinary white...

Hi, Thanks very much to both of you. I find this homebrewing thing fascinating, but also quite bewildering. It's good to know advice can be had from somewhere. Books? Only one; The Big Book of Brewing by Dave Line. It's a great book, but the section on racking is a tiny bit ambiguous. He...

Hi, All Please forgive the noob nature of the question, but I'm not getting a good answer from my books. I have made some all grain pale ale recipe. 3 days ago I pitched it and there's plenty of crust on the top.. so, my question(s) are: How long should I leave it for primary...
