+1 That's how I was haha

Thanks a lot for all of this input! I'm definitely going to substitute the chocolate out for crystal. I am quite new to home brewing but I will take any sound advice that I can. I'm brewing this next Tuesday so hopefully it'll turn out awesome!

Hey everyone! This will be my first partial mash recipe and I'd love some feedback on it, particularly with the mash temps and grain bill. Here we go! Wah Wah Weizenbock 3lb Munich Malt 2lb Vienna Malt 1lb Crystal 40L 4 oz Chocolate Malt 3lb Wheat DME (20 min) 2lb Amber DME (20 min) 1...

Yeah that's the one I was pertaining to. I've always read/been told that lacing was from a CLEAN glass as opposed to a dirty one. I guess I should have prefaced that :) but yes, the other ones were quite humorous.

This is from the Willamette Weeks 2013 Beer Guide. I just really hope this is sarcasm, especially coming from a beer magazine :/haha

Thanks for the tip. I've done 10lbs before with no problems. Should I maybe substitute some dextrose for some of the DME?

I just noticed that no one posted anything on st paddys day. Good job everyone :) way to NOT be on your computer on such a festive day. Ever overhear the classic "Those Europeans drink their beer warm." Well guess what? Most serve it at cellar temperature so you can actually taste it :)

How does this recipe look? I'm looking to brew this next week. The grains will be steeped at 150F for 30 minutes. I'm curious how the wyeast 1728 will affect the flavor. I read about it on their website and it seems fairly promising. Any opinions on this one?

This was not a full boil. I topped it off at the end with water..... Did you add too much water? I'm wondering why your OG was so low...

Yeah it was 1.066 so not quite. Yeah no starter :/ malto-dextrine doesn't ferment, it just adds body. Corn sugar is fermentable though :) my last gravity reading was around 1.018.

Pretty sure I read something similar here already, but I work in retail and was helping a couple out with some beer selections. The wife asked what the difference was between a lager and an ale. Before I could explain, the husband cut in and let her know that ales just have more hops and barley...

Did you do a full boil or top off with water at the end? I made the silly mistake of adding 2x the amount of water to my first batch :o

After you transfer to the secondary, my guess is that your fermentation will be quite minimal after taking it off of the yeast cake. what FG are you shooting for? And just make sure fermentation has stopped before bottling :)

Hello everyone! I'm quite new to the homebrewing scene, but I have been reading up on it for quite some time. These forums are so awesome! Any who, I found the morebeer recipe for the extract version of Pliny and tweaked it a little based on my LHBS's availability of ingredients. I used American...
