Arey you talking about making the mash the day before boiling or letting the mash sit overnight?

I don't know about letting your mash sit overnight. I have heard of people making their wort the night before then refrigerating it and then boiling and adding hops the next day to save time. Although that may have been for a partial mash.

I had the Ruination IPA the other day and loved it. I like it better than Arrogant Bastard.

After hours of research and development here is the finished product. Made from a paint pail from Home Depot. Blue Print available upon request. :D

My strike water is usually in the 168-170 range and pretty much always hit a 150-153 mash temp. I always preheat my cooler with water fromt the HLT while its heating up as well. I have always added all my strike water to the MLT and then slowly stirred in the grains. I know some people including...

The first batch I ever brewed was very similiar to this one. Since you did not steep any grains all you really need to do is a 15-20 minute boil to pasturize the extract. You may have wanted to boil a bit longer since you made hop additions but I think your beer will be drinkable. One note...

After 48 hours my first batch is bubbling and burping like crazy! Its actually pretty cool to watch. I was a little worried because when I pitched the yeast I didnt realize till after the fact that my juice temp was probably about 50 deg F when I made the batch. A little on the cold side. But...

I just saw this beer the other day and almost bought a 22 oz bottle of it. I have had Cave Creek Chili Beer and did not like it and thats what I thought of when I saw this. I saw a special on the foodnetwork about Cave Creek and they use Serrano (spelling?) Peppers not jalapenos. Jalepenos would...

Maybe the pub needs to clean their keg taps and lines. I have had ****ty beer because of this.

I have the same thing and bought it at Lowes in the plumbing section

You will learn to like that smell. However SWMBO probably won't

I have never used a premade kit but have noticed they are a bit more expensive than buying everything seperately and putting it together yourself. Northern Brewer has a nut brown ale kit and it even lists the ingredients.http://www.northernbrewer.com/docs/kis-html/1031.html

I have so many favorites its impossible to narrow it down to one. Mac & Jack's African Amber is a great local brew but I also like Deschutes Brewery out of Bend OR and Lost Coast Brewery out of Northern CA

I always put the lid on mine. I used to use vodka in my airlocks all the time but now only do it half the time. Tap water works fine for me, and I am with Orfy...drink it in a bloody mary.

Elitist A** C*nt Thats a violent thread. I wish I could be an EAC

What the hell is that about? Thats funny.

I was wondering what EAC stands for. I see it under many peoples screen name. Thanks

Has anyone actually ever had a carboy break because of using the handle to lift it when full? I have only heard of one breaking.

What the F**k
