I've got my first attempt 2 days in primary in my buddies chest freezer :)

Absolutely astonishing what a following

I brewed this recipe and I'm hoping it came out ok. Basically a Murphy's law brew. To top it of I dropped my metal strainer in the fermenter and had to fish it out with my hand up To me elbow in wort. I pray I didn't get an infection. Also dropped the stir bar from my starter in to the...

I am running your standard 10 gallon Home Depot orange beverage cooler as a mash ton. for this Brew I'll be brewing about 12 pounds of grain what is the best way to calculate the strike temperature? Is there a reliable Calculator I can enter the mass of grains , temperature of grains and it...

The suntan lotion will definitely give an off flavor to the beer. SPF 20 Ale.

Light might give yeast a sunburn.

Great! My stir plate (stir starter) came with a keeper magnet to hold the stir bar in place. Thank you!

For my next brew I bought the equipment for a yeast starter with a stir plate. Does it matter how long you start the starter before the yeast is pitched? Is 2 days too long? Also can I chill the starter to settle the yeast over night before use. Decant the liquid and pitch just the yeast? I...

I'm still waiting to purchase

I also reasoned this when I bought a kit. If you've never brewed before and you brew something that hasn't been brewed before (your own concoction) you have no benchmark to compare it to . It was never made be an expert so how can you compare yours to no data? You may actually learn less. For...

Totally. However all grain brewing is pretty involved . It's very technique sensitive. My first batch was more or less learning the process to make beer less about creativity in the end product. You have to walk before you can learn to crawl. For your first batch focus on the process all the...
