Thanks for the advice. How about changing the 2-row for something like crystal 20? I'm thinking it's mainly for color? And, is 1lb way more than I need for steeping? For some reason 1/2lb seems to stick out through searching...

I read the threads about Sculpin IPA's recipes according to everyone and their momma. I decided I don't need a clone, but rather something similar to it but tailored to what I already have or what I have easy access to. Here's what I'm planning to brew this weekend. Let me know what you...

As a new brewer I am confused about the comments about the smallest thing causing oxidation and the threads by Revvy saying oxidation isn't that big of an issue (here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/bottling-woes-beer-successfully-oxidized-161384/) One thread makes it seem like the tiniest...

I live in Eastern Alabama and you shouldn't need a swamp cooler in January. I brewed and New Years Eve and my fermenting bucket is sitting in a closet in the guest room. It's stable at 65 degrees (I don't set my furnace above 68). Once we get into Mar/April and the temps start to rocket up...

I'm a new brewer as well and I'm sure someone will chime in on this with a lot more knowledge than me, BUT... From what I have read on here, it seems like you don't add any fruit until the beer is in your secondary. I assume it has to do with not wanting the fruit to actually ferment (like...

I learned that getting a 5gal bucket and using that for the sanitizer mixture makes everything easier. I also learned that my LHBS, while small and fugly from the outside, actually has a nice selection of hops!

My wife thinks brewing smells better than the espresso machine. I agree...that thing makes nice coffee but it smells like dog's crap covered in burnt hair! She hasn't said a word about fermenting smells and her home office is in the room next to where my beer sits.

5 gallons of Pale Ale and 1 Gal of IPA 714+6=720 Gallons

Looks like a fairly old thread...but I'm in Columbus also.

Thanks for the help Yooper. I guess I was doing too much reading about sanitation. I'll give tap water a shot next time.

I have a questions about Tamn's questions... I was under the impression you needed to boil the water that you're adding to a partial boil so it is sanitized. Is that correct? Or can you take water straight from the tap and mix it into the wort? Thanks.

Hello! I'm new to brewing and I have been doing a LOT of reading on this forum. I figured I might as well make an account in case I ever have a question that hasn't been answered in a previous thread (unlikely). Anyway, my name is Dave. I'm active duty Army stationed in Georgia but I live on...

AD Army here. Stationed at Ft. Benning, GA...but going reserves later this year back to good ol' Minnesota!

I had a ton of questions about everything ranging from equipment to specific gravities. I've found this website extremely useful for a new brewer! Thanks!
