Unfortunately the thermapen is a bit out of my price range. I think I'd be willing to spend up to about 40 bucks or so?

Hi all, I'm still learning my way around HBT, so if I've missed the answer to this question I apologize (and maybe someone can point me in the right direction) Basically, I'm looking for a digital thermometer that is reasonably fast to produce readings, and ACCURATE. Swmbo has been...

Hi everyone, I recently posted a thread in which I solicited suggestions for some brews that I'll be (happily!) making for my wedding, which will be in July 2011. I got some outstanding recommendations, and I feel like I have a good tentative slate of offerings, which run quite a wide range...

We have a pretty good LHBS : American brewmaster. I've been really happy with their selection. Overall, their staff is knowledgeable too.

Sorry, they have to fend for themselves.... Plus, I'm going to try and pass the hint to the guests that they should really hire a babysitter and leave the young'uns at home.

Sounds like we're on the same wavelength - I'm leaning toward variety over quantity. Even if we run out, that leaves the guests singing the praises of the beer they couldn't get enough of ! Here's the list i have so far... look's pretty similar to yours. 1) Single IPA - Pliny Lite ? 2)...

I'm guessing that's a good thing?

Cheaper than a champagne toast :D

We hadn't really thought in much detail about the menu yet, we're still very much in the preliminary stages of planning. What other sorts of lagers did you have in mind? Truth be told, I've really only brewed Czech lagers before....

Yeah, i definitely like that idea. My soon-to-be better half is a huge fan of Magners, so i might try to develop something like a dry-ish cider for her. I got a few suggestions from other brew friends by email, and i decided to go with the 5 gallon batches, and increase the number of offerings...

oh man, that is an awesome idea.... well done sir.

I'd like at least one hop-forward beer.... so far I'm thinking: 1) Single IPA 2) Czech-style pils 3) Hefe or Belgian Wit 4) ESB 5) ??? EDITS: i just noticed that a few other threads focusing on this very question have been posted in the past! Some awesome suggestions... i never even thought...

Yeah, that's a good point - we are having a fairly informal reception so I don't think it will be an issue.

Hi everyone, The little lady and i just got engaged, and she has asked if I would brew the beer for our reception. I of course was more than happy to oblige, because it means i get to crank out a bunch of pilot batches :mug:. Oh, and our guests can have a unique experience at our wedding...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to AG brewing, and I had a question about my lautering process. I use a a 5 gallon igloo cylindrical type cooler with a steel braid. Ideally, how long should it be taking me to collect 5 gallons of wort? I usually batch sparge with 3 gallons, and it takes about 30...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Great points for me to think about! Yes.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums here and I was hoping that you could offer some of your expertise. I'm still new-ish to brewing (I have about 11 AG batches under my belt, but still a beginner in the grand scheme of things:mug:), and I had a question about a method that I've been using...
