Congrats and welcome to the hobby and board. Cheers

Just my opinion - but you might want to consider cutting the steeping grains down to about 250g of each. It's usually recommended to keep the amount of the these to about 10% of the total "grain bill" so they don't "overpower" your brew. Cheers

Just got my latest ingredient order in the mail - only took 10 days which is pretty good from the States to here. So I'm planning my next brew session w/ some of the guys....maybe get a couple of them interested in the hobby. Cheers

Turned out great, but did need several months of conditioning to smooth out. Did you brew this up?

Brewed up a quick BIAB Extra Special Bitter that I'll bottle in about 10 days and let age about 3 months since I'll be out of the country - should be very nice by then. Cheers!

Home for a few weeks from overseas - drinking some year old blonde ale and a dark English mild. Cheers!

I've used them in every brew except the first (I've done 4) as aroma additions for the last 3-4 minutes of the boil. I suspect that since they were found "past their prime" that I'm not getting a lot from them, but what the heck - they were free and they're local! Cheers.

Second batch - an American Pale Ale. Made with Lite DME, some C120 I roasted in the oven to get a little more color on, some Cascade and Willamette hops with an IBU of almost 40. Cheers!:mug:

An update: 1) My Blonde Ale (I have 5G of pale ale in bottles conditioning) 2) My brew set up in my tiny kitchen 3,4,5) BrandonO's Graf brewing and finishing in the fermenter The adventure continues! Cheers

I lived in DC for a while and this is what I did https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/1st-biab-if-i-can-you-can-309912/ Cheers!

My next brew! Looking forward to getting this in the fermenter on Sat:mug: Cheers!

http://www.brewersfriend.com/ Been using this for a couple of years and have few complaints - especially since it's free. Cheers!

I really like the "Geordie Schooner" from Newcastle... Cheers!

I'm in Baghdad for the next year or so - but lookie at what I found :ban: Someone approached me at the dining facility and wanted me to look at an abandoned plot in the community garden.....I found a HOP plant on the ground! Not sure what type or anything. How they got the rhizome here, I'll...

Opinions are all over the map - but I love my ugly junk corona mill. So one vote for the cheapo mill here. Let the debate begin!:D Cheers!

One inch spade bit, but all the above work - just take your time and once it punches thru clean up the edges. Cheers!

Some Sam Adams until my next batch ferments out;

Your fermentables are fine, are you changing out the yeast? The Coopers "lager" is truly an ale that ferments out at a higher temp, around 18C. If you use the WLP830 you need to be considerably cooler. As a rule of thumb, being lower within the acceptable temp range is better unless you are...

Congrats and many more batches to come! Cheers!

The rule of thumb is that if you can drink it you can brew with it. Now if you get into trying to clone specific recipes, you may have to adjust the chemistry of your H2O, but for most of us that's not a problem. I've brewed all over the world, and have found if it is safe to drink, it has...
