Simon, Good idea. I'm not quite ready to do partial mash yet though. That's my next big step. I'm still working on getting my process & technique down solid & repeatabe. Taking things one step at a time. Beer is about patienece, right? :-) gr8shandini, I never considered biscut. I had...

I guess what I'm looking for is a good, general beer. One that I can serve to my BMC drinking friends without scaring them away, yet has enough character & interest to apeal to those that like some of the more esoteric brews. It's not really about what *I* might like because, truly, I've met...

I might just do that. My folks are on The Island :-) Interesting points to consider from all. I like the idea of simplfying it (DME) but I want to have a bit of character. Time to think some more. Meanwhile, I do believe I'll have a beer.

2 brews. A chocolate milk stout for SWMBO & a Great Lakes christmas ale clone for me. And I know that we'll trade back & forth. :-)

Ed, Just gotta say. The ability to plug in my recipes & buy what I need is beyond awesome. Ordered 3 times & have been well, well pleased. You (and my lhbs) now have my business.

Wyeast 3638. It may be a tad high, yes. But I've set up a swamp cooler on it & it should get down & hover around 68-70 with that. I may crack a window for a bit to adjust the room down. It's in the mechanicals room in the basement which tends to run a tad warm due to the dehumidifier.

Or "Now I'm making beer lke a grown-up, Mommy" Like many here, I came to this magnficent hobby ^H obsession from a Mr. Beer on post Christmas sale. Roughly 2 years ago. I was not enamoured with the first batch even though I followed the directions. But a funny thing happened. About 6-8...
