Subscribed! I'd love to do something like this in my basement one of these days. Keep those inspiring pictures coming!

First off, @dlester: Maltose Falcons has got to be the best name for a homebrewer's club I've heard yet! Secondly, I'm in a situation like mc zero. I'm a newb, about to do my second-ever batch, and I want to do a summer wheat ale, but I want to try and riff on an established recipe I found...

There's already a few threads out there for this topic, but I thought I'd try to draw some fresh input. I came across a recipe for a summer wheat ale... it's a sample recipe that came with the BeerSmith software, and I wanted to try tweaking it a bit. Among other things, it calls for some...

Great... thanks so much! Cheers! :mug:

Any info on Alkalinity as CaCO3 for Hap Cremean?

Thanks... I was hoping the city would have a way to get the detailed analysis online, but I guess I gotta call them on one of those old fashioned telephone gadgets. Someone had posted the analysis from the Dublin Rd plant from a few years back, but I'm drawing from Hap Cremean.

Just curious... anyone in the Columbus Ohio area know of an easy (maybe online) way to obtain the latest water analysis? Thanks!

Hey gang, Just bottled my first batch the other day; it's an IPA from a Brewer's Best kit. I've taken a couple tastes during the brewing process; once after racking to secondary, and once on bottling day. It seems like it's going to shape up to be a pretty decent first showing. The Cascade...

Newbie question: what's gelatin supposed to do for your brew?

Welcome and good luck. I'm new to homebrewing too. I've had some thoughts about seeing if any colleges around my area offer any brewing chemistry classes, I'm pretty intrigued by all the "under the hood" kind of stuff.

Woke this morning to find my airlock bubbling away... woot! What a great feeling to see your first homebrew springing to life! If a visible sign of fermentation feels this rewarding, I can't wait to actually taste the stuff once it's done!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hugh. I feel a bit more relieved about my efforts now. And the Mrs. is fine... I think majority of her startle was from the sudden realization that she had committed a big brewing foul. What's ironic is that she's in a scientific field and has a very clear...

Thanks to all for the warm welcomes and good advice! Glad to see this is an active community! I decided to get started with my first brew yesterday. Though I had a handful of glitches/mistakes, I'm still holding out hope for the finished product. My first mistake happened right off the...

Hey gang, Glad to be here! My lovely and brilliant wife got me a homebrewing starter kit for Christmas, including a Brewer's Best IPA ingredient kit. Planning on getting started sometime this week, just need to pick up a stock pot and a hydrometer. Looking forward to getting into this...
