Hi there, I live in a house with a well water system. I've been brewing here (all grain) for a little over a year now with no complications. The beer turns out fine. However, it has come to my attention that the water has a bunch of lime in it. I hear it can't hurt you, but I wanted to know...

3+ lbs of white chocolate powder???? WOW! How was the brew? How was the head retention? When did you add said powder? Mind supplying the recipe? Cheers!

:mug: WOW Thanks for that conversion! Very helpful! Cheers, M

Hello! I don't have the equipment for All Grain just yet, but reaaaally want to brew this recipe below. Can someone help me convert this to partial mash??? I have a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer, and a couple of 5/6 gallon brew pots, nothing bigger than that. Thanks! Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast...

THANK YOU so very much for your reply. I'm just never sure when I'm allowed to do a partial boil versus a full boil based on recipes given like this. I want to get to that point where I read a recipe, no matter how descriptive, and be like "ok, so I do this, this, this, and this, and BOOM...done."

Hi! I'm going to be starting my second partial mash soon, and the recipe I found was a bit vague on what the boil size should be, or even the amounts of water used for sparging. Can someone help me determine these things? This is for a 5.25 gallon batch: __________________________ Partial...

Hey there! I know I'm digging up an old topic, but I was wondering if you could tell me how much water you used in the boil? Did you boil a little over 5 gallons to end up with 5 gallons in the fermenter? I'm skeptical about adding tap water or bottled water to top off at 5 gallons in my...

Funny...I just came back from Montana and also had the same glorious experience with Great Northern Brewing Co. A friend of mine said to use huckleberry extract in lieu of real huckleberries. Just a thought, but I too want to use the real deal. Hope this thread kicks off!

Hi guys, I need your opinion. Based on what you guys are saying, there really is no fear of getting drunk off of homemade rootbeer, so long as the correct yeast is used (Red Champange Yeast i think someone said). My brother was an alcoholic, and has been 7 months sober (woo hoo!). When i found...
