My original statements are based on the assumption that the grains you are using are fresh. It would be foolish to think that you can use old and stale grains and make better beer than fresh extract. I'm talking about making beer using the absolute freshest ingredients possible. A friend of...

You could be right (about my arguing with a phantom). Steeping whole grains can do a lot for an extract beer and I'm sure thats what most people are doing when brewing with extract. And thankgoodness for extract because without it a lot of people who want to brew wouldn't be able to. I...

Will going from the primary right to the keg work? Would there be too much sediment in the keg? This would be for a guinness like stout. Anyone done this? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Been reading this thread and I just gotta chime in on the topic. I have to say I totally disagree with the people who say that Extract ("if the ingredients are fresh") can be just as good as All-Grain. Imagine going to a Two Michelin Star Restaurant and going back to the kitchen and...

Hey everyone, I'm going to buy an oxygen regulator and a diffusion stone setup but I need to know which stone size is the best for doing the pure oxygen thing for the wort. Williams brewing sells a setup with a 2 micron and Northern Brewer sells one with a .5 micron. Does it even matter...

A handful of people are selling "Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy (Paperback) by Dave Line" on Amazon, is this the book you are talking about? Thanks!

Hilarious. http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=beerfest

Looks excellent! Thank you much. Any other input would still be appreciated.

I need a good all-grain Kölsch recipe that is an excellent example of this style. This will be for a party I'm having in late Sept. And if anyone has any input (temps, time, ingredients, etc.) on making this style, please do post :D Thanks!

I always liked the idea of serving beer straight from a tap in an oak cask but I guess that just wouldnt be realistic considering that it doesnt stay fresh for very long. So will the DME that you prime the keg with supply enough pressure to force the beer out untill the beer is gone? A...

Hey everyone, Is there a book out there on doing Real Cask Ale? Or maybe a website on the basics of actually doing a cask ale (not what it is)? As I understand it, you go from the Primary to the Secondary (which could be an oak cask with a tap in it) and you just serve it from there while...

As do I. A good Russian Imperial, Barley Wine or Belgian Tripel are great on occasion.

I was reading over the rules and such for the Great American Beer Festival and was bummed to see that home brewers can't enter (this is correct isnt it?). So what is the largest competition that home brewers CAN enter? Thanks!

Hey everybody, Been brewing for a couple years and I just found this great forum. Tons of excellent info. Anyhow, to the point of this post. I was checking out Beer Advocate's Top 100 Beers and was dissapointed to see that over 75 of the beers are 7+% in alcohol with a bunch that are...
