Looking to start getting something in the pipe so it will be aged a bit for the fall. Anyone have a good recipe? Any ideas on Lager vs Ale? What is the best base beer? I have seen people use ambers, I was wondering is a winter beer spiced a bit would work or maybe a pumpkin porter...

Milling the grain for a Belgian Tripel

Thanks for all the input guys, but it was all in vain for this brew. I wound up in the ER after dumping about 2-3 gallons of wort down my leg. Doing ok now, some 1st degree burns and some deeper 2nd degree near my ankle. I am dealing with the burn people at UVA. I will store this info for...

There have been a lot of changes to people's brewing practice since I was brewing before. I always used dry yeast when I brewed 4 years ago and I did that for four years without any issues. I would put it in the carboy before I siphoned the cool wort and then splash the cool wort in on top of...

I am also brewing this Saturday. Working on an all grain kit from Northern Brewer called Tounge Splitter. This will be my second AG beer. The first, a Sweet Stout, was quite the interesting ordeal. The best advice I can give is that it should be a good time so don't stress if things do not...

Welcome to the world of Brewing D1sorder. It's tough to break into the game here in the Burg, but worth it none the less. When do you expect to get set up and running?
