    New Kolsch

    Kolsh typically doesn't have an aroma addition and little to no hop flavor, only mild bitternes. Shouldn't have anything other than pils and 10-20% wheat for a traditional Kolsh either, it is a very specific style, but I digress. What are you plannning on for a mash temp? Low mid to high 140's?

    Spring water for brewing question

    I think Poland Spring is usually pretty high on the mineral content. Manadnok has only one source and has worked out very well. Recomended by my Homebrew shop owner. Good mineral content. I've brewed a large range of beers without any additions with good results.

    Did you Make your Wort Chiller, or Did You Buy One?

    Made my own counterflow. I got the copper for employee cost at a supply house. It's a bit more work building a counterflow, and I probably only saved 25 or 30 bucks, but it's set up exactly how I want it. Cools 10.5 gallons from boiling to chill water temp in 15 min or so gravity fed. And...

    Rootbeer

    Are you asking why it has a small, or does the rootbeer you get come with alcohol? Most home made soda has a small ammount of alcohol (minimal) due to adding yeast to get carbonation.

    recirc'ing from chiller back to brew kettle

    I've read a bunch about people pumping the output from their chillers back into the brew kettle to chill it quicker. This seems counter intuitive to me. This would bring the entire volume thru the temperature range where it is valunerable to infections slower while exposed to the air. To me...

    They must be joking.. seriously

    Well if you had no tools it would ba cheaper than buying a drill and uni-bit. If it came with the valves and piping, maybe

    Froach brew needs Heather Blossoms

    Do the blossoms include petals? If you decide to go with hops, only use bittering and use either old hops or reduce what you would normally use. Maybe half. You only want to slightly counter the maltiness. It will be quite sweet for a few months, an odd sweetness almost like it's infected or...

    Is there a need for a brew shop in Western Mass, USA?

    I always thought RI was the armpit of Mass. Actualy I've been hanging out there more than MA since I found the best brew shop ever. I know it would be a ride for you guys arround Boston (excruciatingly long depending on the time of day), but Blackstone Valley Home Brew Supply in...

    A Style Everyone can Enjoy??

    I brew a Belgian Golden sort of beer that tends to go over well with those that prefer a hoppy beer (it isn't really hoppy) and those that really don't care for hoppy beers. It has honey and corriander. It takes a couple weeks in the primary and a couple months in the secondary. The honey takes...

    Kit or a la carte

    Look around and compare. I got mine from here: http://www.homebrewheaven.com/ Chiller, glass carboy, bench top capper, brew books, pretty much everything but a brew kettle. If you're sure you will be committed, go for a slightly more complete kit. A little more up front, but it will save a...

    Non-Alcoholic Beer?

    The vacuum lowers the boiling point. Much like higher altitude, or oppposite of a pressure cooker. Less heat to affect the flavor profile.
