Wow thanks for all the feedback! I am thinking what I may want to do is have the grains milled by my friend with the MM3 and redoing the same beer and checking measurements. I will double check all the measurements as well - hopefully there is just something stupid that is throwing it off...

I had the stone Delicious which had Lemon Drop hops....it was some interesting minty character. May be good on a hot day.

LOL Thanks Speed - I am really hoping that is the cause!

Thanks atom. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic. Next time I get from them (if that happens) I will definitely do that.

Hello All, It was suggested I move this post from the topic I was in to maybe give it a bit more attention, so here goes: I am fairly new so be gentle. ;) I did a brew a few weeks ago and missed a bunch of steps but essentially got about half of the ABV I was shooting for. Last...

HAHAHA good point. I fly sparged. I felt I did a good job stirring, however I really only stirred about 3 times throughout the whole brew once at mash in, once in the middle, and once at the end. Maybe I could stir a bit more. Could also possibly just be reading incorrectly. I used...

Quick question on this topic. I am fairly new so be gentle. ;) I did a brew a few weeks ago and missed a bunch of steps but essentially got about half of the ABV I was shooting for. Last weekend I did another brew and took measurements throughout and ended up with a 51% efficiency after...

So many tears.

Here are a couple of tasty pics... http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/ryanrussler/Food/D44BD567-6894-4C10-816E-38F101E5E0C7_zpssjx8lbgf.jpg http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y496/ryanrussler/Food/D7847DEC-4714-4C84-9E62-06376BDEA983_zpspugsjahs.jpg...

So I have been lurking around here for about a year without posting, but decided to jump in. I have been into craft beer for quite sometime, but just jumped into home brewing last year. I have a 10 Gal All Grain cooler system I use. Did my first beer of the year last weekend and realized...
