This is your first brew and all I can say is don't worry about much, you'll probably end up with pretty good beer. If you want exact numbers you'll need much more information like your boil off rate and equipment capacities. What I recommend is that you start off with 6 gallons of water on the...

The first is part of an anniversary gift from my girlfriend and the second is a sample of some brews I brought back with me to Ohio when I was in California on business.

I get your intent on color and this isn't helpful in the darken-my-beer department, but you could consider making a spiced pumpkin porter and a pumpkin ale, serve layered so you get the best of both worlds without changing your original recipe, which is what it sounds like you don't want to mess...

So I have seen you twice now say it's not the money, you're looking for quality, so why not get a roller mill? The corona mills are intended to grind into flour while the rollers are designed to crush the grain. Crushing leaves you with at least a partially intact husk to form a good filter for...

So I have to say my initial reaction to this is the same as a lot of the other posters here. Craft brew "flavor" my butt! However, I haven't tried it. I think many products have their place even if they seem moronic to others. It would be interesting to have this in a blind lineup with some real...

First year Nugget(L) & Centennial(R), 37 days in.

Hop trellis 2013

First year for hops for me. Centennial and Nugget. I just got them in the ground on 5/4 so hopefully I get a little something soon. I only see one of Nugget breaking ground ever so slightly. I still have to add the twine when they start coming up. Looks like a lot of the rigs here are much...

Just for your info, if you plan to brew it again the same way... If you needed to add .75 gallons to make the 5 gallon total, you would end up with 1.052 OG.

So I've been reading this forum for probably a year now, posted a few times and never really introduced myself in what I now see is the "proper" way... Homebrewing in Kent Ohio for probably 2-1/2 years now. I brew with two buddies so we don't make a ton of brews since scheduling is always...

At least 8 of 10 searches I have for brewing questions return the forum at HBT, so I think that's how I became a regular user of the site.

I believe the key here is the process applied to make the malts/specialty grains. Just like adjusting your mash can change the profile of your beer, adjusting the malting process will change the profile of the grains. The base malts we all use have been malted with a process that focuses on...

I ordered this 2 roller mill for $110 including S&H and it works great. I was a little weary at first having never heard of the brand but no complaints so far. http://espressoonline.com/products/barley-mills/product/view/27/105

I am in the process of assembling my Electric All Grain Brewery and went through quite a lot of searching to get the best prices for all my parts and thought it would be helpful to share with the brewing community. Keep in mind that this is specific to my build so you will need to add some...
