I am in the process of making a MLT right now. The reason why I want to go a head and get a grain mill is because I now live out in the middle of no where and getting malted grains is hard. Pretty much my only option is to order them online. The smallest quantity you can buy online is a lb...

Well Thursday of next week is the day I have been waiting on, PAY DAY!!!!!!!!!! To Celebrate, I am going to buy myself some more beer brewing equipment to ease myself a little closer into all grain brewing. I am want to get a grain mill and some of that brewing software as the first all...

Well, the thing is that I have a friend who had a brand new rubbermaid cooler that he is going to GIVE ME. It is five gallons so I just wanted to see if it would work.

Thanks guys, that is good to know. I live in a tiny studio apartment so the small equipment is what I am preferring right now which is why I make 5 gallon batches. Glad to here the five gallon will work. Any recommendations on a good / affordable grain mill. Not the Carona mill, as I have...

Ok, I have found a cooler that I think will be very good for a mash tun but I did wanted to run questions by the forums before I bought it to make sure I am doing good. It is a Rubbermaid Gott cooler. It holds five Gallons. I typly make 5 gallon batches of beer so is this cooler big enough or...

Hmm, So it seems I guess that my next step should be to construct a Mash/Lauter Tun. I looked at the link you sent and the videos and it looks easy enough. I will let you guys know once I get it constructed. I usually work like 65 to 70 hours a week so it might take a while. Thanks for the...

Thanks for the encouragement. I would very much like to see the video as I am very much a visual learner. And yes, i think they would notice if I drill a whole in the bottome and put in a spigot unfortunatly. I am posting my reciepe though as was recommended. It is actually my own...

Wow.... It looks like I have a lot more reading to do. And apparently I don't personally own the proper equipment as I don't own a pot big enough to hold seven gallons. Luckly, I am a chef, and have access to all of my kitchens big stock pots. I am sure I could get one for a week end until I...

Well this is a scary time for me. I have decided to make the leap from Partial Mash brewing to All Grain. I have always used real grains for my specualty grains but used extracts for my Base Grain. I have read the All Grain sections in "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, 3rd Edition" by Charlie...

Thank you very much:)

What is the best way to store crushed grains and how long can I expect them to last?

Hi, I have this one reciepe that I use as the base for several of my beer styles. However, it is a recipe that calls for an extract and I think I would like to try to start brewing in All Grains. I was just wondering if someone could help me convert the Extract amount into the all grain...

Hi, As I have stated on here before, I am currently a culinary student. I only have about 6 months left in school and then I plan on going to Europe for a few years. I have searched all over the internet but can't seem to find anything regarding any of the laws regarding home brewing in any of...

Actually, I am going to modify my Recipe a little. I just called my homebrew store and they told me that they just got some Chocolate Rye in!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am substituting it in for the Chocolate Malt.

The only other Rye that I might could put in there is maybe some none roasted malted rye. I am going by what my local homebrew store has or can get. Cara-Rye is very simular to Cara-Pils except it is made with rye and I have that in there. The Roasted Rye is not malted, the Cara-Rye is...

Ok, I have tweaked my Rye Stout Recipe and am now ready to post it for everyones review. This is the first time I have ever attempted to create my own recipe so please be brutally honest and pick it apart and tell me why or why not you think it will work. First let me explain that I have...

Thanks everyone for your reply. The thing is that I live in a very small apartment and really do not have roome for beer brewing. I do anyway but My roomate really gets upset with me sometimes with all of my fermenters and brewing equipment taking up space in the living room. So, I though...

Does anyone have a link to one of the online recipe calculators? Thanks for all your advice.

I have purchased the book "Designing Great Beers" and have read it. Now I am beginning to formulate my own recipe. But since this is my first attempt at my own recipe, I wanted to brew a small batch just in case it doesn't turn out good, I will know without wasting 5 gallons of beer. I have...

Thanks for the book suggestion I will check it out. Cowain, You are right in what you said, but I do not plan on opening my own brewery/restaurant right out of school. I will be going to Europe for at least two years after I am done with school. I am talking at least 10 years down the road if...
