I went to my LHBS yesterday and told them what happened and the owner didnt realize that i was brewing such a high gravity beer or he wouldve recommended a starter. Oh well, live & learn.

Thanks. i do not know his maltster, but i can check. Im leaning towards using whatever my LHBS has for my first all grain. maybe once i get better at it i can start to specialize. I just dodnt know how much of a difference it would make. bottom line is that it will be beer regardless!

Hello HBT, this is my first post and i am a newbie to All grain. I am going to be brewing a DFH90 clone and have found two recipes. One was from the BYO IPA recipes article and another is straight from the internet. They are boh very similar except for the grains. The one from BYO says to...
