Happy 10th HBT!!!! Hoping to win!!!! (or should that be hopping?)

Please count me in!

It seems there's enough people doing water first without any mention of shocking the enzymes, that I'm convinced to go this route this weekend. Thanks to all that replied! :mug:

Hi Folks! I've been wondering if there is a concensus on whether to add the strike water into the MLT before the grain, or grain before the water. Palmer suggests puting the grain in first, and then adding the strike water in batches so as not to shock the grain. This is the method that I...

That's kind of what I thought, but thank you for confirming it. Plus it's kind of nice to watch the whirlpool! :)

Hi folks. I have always wrapped my yeast starters with a small towel to block out light for no better reason than it's what I do for the fermenter. Now that I have moved to using a stir plate with a flask, keeping the towel in place has been a challenge. My question is there any reason to...

Forgot to get back on this: Bottled this beer almost two weeks ago. It ended up very clear, so my initial concerns were unfounded. Clearly I need to relax! I did not cold crash (no fridge available for me to do that) but it did clear up very well. My first impression of the beer going...

Hi Bartman. Nice to see someone from my home state. I'm from Charlestown myself.

Hi folks, I'm looking for input from those that have used Wyeast 1272 American Ale II yeast. The info from their website states that this is a highly floculant yeast, however I am on day 10 in the primary and the yeast remains well suspended in the wort. Temp has been held 65 - 67F...

Hi folks! Been a long time extract brewer (on and off for almost 20 years) but finally decided a few months ago to try AG and discovered your wonderful community here! I have found so much great advice and ideas here that I just had to join and stop trolling around! I'm happy to say that I...
