I'm in the market for a new boil kettle. I don't need anything larger than 10gal and would prefer to stay around the $250 mark. I've been looking at the new Anvil equipment as well as SS Brewtech and MegaPot. I would prefer the $250ish price range include the ball valve and thermometer as...

Looking for some feedback on this recipe. Basically I have a bunch of Chinook hops I need to use up. I'm looking at making an American Amber Ale featuring those Chinook hops. I'm considering 2 different options with only a minor differnce. The first one is listed as Option 1 and the second...

So I bought a kit from MoreBeer (English Pale Ale) and after putting it into Beersmith it seems like it might end up a little light on flavor and ABV. I want to try and give this beer a nice full malt flavor with a decent ABV. Right now Beersmith has it hitting ~3.9% (I was hoping for closer to...

I have a couple questions on an upcoming brew. The questions are related to water chemistry and hop additions. I’ll be brewing Morebeer’s American Pale Ale II all grain kit. Here’s the details on the kit… Grain Bill: 10lbs 2-Row 1.5lbs Crystal 15 0.5 lbs Honey...

Like the title says, first All Grain coming soon and I'm not sure about a couple things. First off this is a brew kit (Caribou Slobber from NB) that I'll be working with. I found the same recipe in Beersmith so I loaded it up with my equipment profile I made. I have a 5-gal cooler mash tun and...

I brewed an Irish Red Ale from Northern Brewer. This was my 3rd batch (2nd from NB) and it turned out a little light on the tastebuds. I brewed it the same way I've brewed the other 2 batches (which were packed with flavor) but evidently I did something differently. The yeast was done...

We're [Alabama] a little late to the [home-brewing]party so you'll have to excuse my newness? Anyway, just wanted to stop in, say Hi and see if there was anyone else from the North Alabama area.
