I think you’re going to get a lot of people saying water chemistry. Although my personal problem was trying to drive high fermentation attenuation. All my beers were fermenting down to 1.008 or lower which left them tasting watery. Once I started mashing around 156F and shooting for 1.013 to...

When I was in Kalamazoo, MI I stopped by Bell's General Store and bought the official Two Hearted All Grain kit. I was impressed by the in-box instructions. The step-by-step guide, brew log, and ABV equation are all really nice. I don't know if they intentionally don't want it available to the...
