My father-in-law recently acquired a KitchenAid Grain Mill Cast Aluminum by appearance. Thinking this might make things easier on brew day. I did a test batch of grain This is Briess 6 Row Caramel 20L on the highest setting of size. It looks ok to me but just looking for some feedback

I have been thinking about this for a few days now. Would it be easier when you make your starter for your beer to make an extra cup (1 cup of water 1 oz of DME) and before you pitch your starter harvest a bit of yeast from the starter rather than going threw the process of cleaning out all...

I am considering setting up a 2 Stage Immersion Chiller with a pump, However i do not know what kind of pump i would need Currently i am using a single immersion chiller and that seems to be very wasteful of water. I saw mention somewhere of using a pond pump but i can not find that info now...

I will soon be doing my first partial mash, I will for the most part be using the instructions that are provided in this thread with a little change Instead of mashing in the the stanless steel vessel, I purchased a 5 Gal Igloo Water Cooler to use as a mash tun, I decided that this size would be...
