    Will be making the cross country move back to AZ in about a month. Are there any local brew clubs in the area? We had lived in Chandler for 6 years but I never thought of looking for one before.

    Splitting a brew day in 2

    I was hoping to brew tonight after work, but after thinking about it would end being a very late night. Would there be any issues to mashing tonight, and then starting the boil tomorrow evening?

    Is it possible to just cut the ingredients for a 5 gallon recipe in half to make 2 1/2 gallon recipes? It is taking me longer than I thought to drink the 5 gallons, and am looking for more of a variety of beer. The wifey doesn't drink beer, and I only have 3 or 4 a week.
