So I don't even know where to begin. For all intents and purposes to anyone who is all geeked out about temps, and times, and all those things that matter to homebrewers....Just thank your lucky stars you were not here. I had not brewed in 4 years and never AG. I used to pull of these hip...

So they included a lb of lactose with the sweet stout kit. When does this go in? No instructions to speak of. Just about to put the grain and water in the mash tun

When I get home from Church this afternoon I will be brewing my first all grain. I have opted to keep it simple and will be using a kit I purchased from Northern Brewer. I am making a sweet stout. I feel like I know what I am doing, but looking for any last minute tips to ensure that the day...

I was just reading about developing a grain bill in "Designing Great Beers". Based on what the book says, you need to review one of those profiles. You can find the generally accepted profiles at the BJCP website. To start you need to know 1. Target Gravity 2. Finish Volume 3. Fermentables...

34, but feeling at least 10 years older due to a 12 year stint in the Corps.

Born in Foxboro and last living in North Attleboro prior to the move to VA, welcome to the sickness!

Lynchburg, here and even we have a local home brewing club, there has to be something near you!

So I assume you are setting up some sort of discount shipping program on here? Welcome to the club!

But what about using 3/8 inside of 7/8? Edit - Sorry, just looked at your page and it looks like it comes out at a 2.0. So the 3/8 inside 5/8 is really the best option eh?

I am appealing to the vast knowledge database here in order to figure out this problem. I have noticed that many of the commercial CFCs (even the non convoluted one) are 1/2" on the inside and 7/8" on the outside. It seems that when people build their CFCs they always go 3/8" inside and 5/8"...

Not much of a college football fan myself, but very happy to see someone else from the burg on this site. Looks like we are coming from somewhat similar backgrounds regarding brewing for a while and recently getting involved again. Great to have you here!

Madcap you have just made my day. i thought for sure I was adrift in an endless sea of vast nothingness and now you are telling me that there may just be land over the horizon. You should be looking in your PMs about now, lol.

Zac, you have the name of a good place in Roanoke? I am about to drop some serious $ from my taxes to buy back into the life style and I would always prefer to buy local vs the net if the price is right.

I agree. It would be worth it to do it right with a find like this!

I just purchased this one

Brother I used to live in Chicopee and work in SF. There is a great LHBS in North Hampton right as you go from the highway into downtown. Did a search on the web and the name sounds different but the address sounds right. Check them out, they were really knowledgeable guys. 154 King Street...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I don't think lynchburg is dry. We have a bud plant here or at least a distribution center and several ABC stores. The only place to buy beer is at the grocery so that leaves me driving over an hour to find anything outside of three staples.

Hello all. Great to find such a vast resource. I had been brewing partial mash for about four years in NC and MA then dropped out for four years as I got out of the military and tried to settle into a normal life. I am getting back in and jumping in where I left off, which is making the...
