I purchased the big river brown ale from Midwest, and am planning on starting it this weekend. This is the first time I have used anything but extracts. I got the bag of grains, and I had them mill/crack/whatever you call it before bagging. My question is: there is a lot of dust in the...

do you have a recipe for the vanilla cream stout?

Good Luck with all that Lizzy, keep us posted!

Question.....I have been doing some reading and learning on this site since joining. I was under the impression you want to strain the wort as it goes into the primary fermenter. Is that correct? The reason I ask is I have seen pictures and threads where people are boiling with hops in the...

Daveyboy, can you tell me a little more about this Caramel cream ale? Sounds very good. Is it a kit? I am a noobie, and not ready for tough recipes yet.

So how do you get a hops vine going?

Welcome! I just started, and everyone on here is very helpful and nice!

My wife and I both had our loans through Direct Loans, an I can say I did not have a bad experience. The interest rate was lower on the student loans than any other loans I had during the time, vehicles, mortgage, credit cards, etc. And I paid them off early without any penalty. Might look...

I am in Salina, and I see you are in Wichita!

Another question I have....and remember i'm a noobie....what advantages do you get with secondary fermentation? I have a glass carboy and a bucket, and have done only 1 fermentation on my beers so far. Do you start in the carboy and go to the bucket for the second fermentation? vice versa...

i see you all talk about full bol and partial boil. can you explain the differences please?

thooper....that recipe sounds fantastic. I am new at all this so this may be a stupid question...did you just boil all that together before fermenting? Where did you get the ingredients? I want to try that one.

Hello everyone!! I found this site looking for some answers to questions (like how to read a hydrometer - we don't need to start a new thread about that!). I just bottled my first home brew, just a basic wheat with some cherry flavoring. I pretty much went off the instructions with the malt...
