I have a general procedure before I brew a style i have to make. I will try the commercial versions of the product that I want to brew However this one eludes me. I have tried Weihenstephaner Original Premium and it has the "Imported Funk" as I refer to it. I have also tried Stoudt's Golden...

I did my first dry on my last brew an American Pale Ale. It tastes fantastic, but i had an awful time trying to keep the hops from transferring to the bottling bucket and subsequently to the a few of the bottles. I would prefer not to use a hops bag because i am using carboys for all...

I am considering setting up a 2 Stage Immersion Chiller with a pump, However i do not know what kind of pump i would need Currently i am using a single immersion chiller and that seems to be very wasteful of water. I saw mention somewhere of using a pond pump but i can not find that info now...
