wow, thanks for the info so quickly. I wasn't worried about this because I knew that everything was legal but I was just curious where I could get the info. I appreciate all the insight and references. Happy Brewing!

I've been being for a few years and never really looked into the legalities of home brewing. Does anyone have references to the laws involved. I remember reading somewhere that you cannot brew more than 500 gallons a year while still claiming to be recreational. Is there any laws in regards...

Yeh, I got ahold of my buddy and our OG was 1.060. Were looking at approx 5.25% right now which is alot better than the 2% I thought we would have.

It was an American Red that used: 8lb LME 1lb Crystal 60L 1oz Roasted Barley 3oz (total) of Centennial Hops (1.5oz @ 60min, and 1.5oz @5min) California Ale Yeast I guess its also important to add that I had some issues from the beginning. We waited a long time for the wort to cool (it was...

Hello All, I'm new to the site and have a quick question about a batch I just started yesterday. I have brewed 3 times before yesterday and each time has been successful. Yesterday I was showing my neighbor the ropes and we have hit a snag last night into this morning. We developed a wort...
