After having issue with the crush at my LHBS I want to mill my own grain. I am torn between the MM3 and the MM2 with 2 inch rollers. Cost isn't an issue, they are the same price. I am a heavy duty diesel mechanic so setting gap with feeler gauges isn't an issue to me. Also I am not a fan of...

Wanted to put my results out there. They are not perfect but I am pretty happy with the end result. Brewed a MO/Citra SMaSH for my first AG recipe.

I've done a number of partial mash extract batches and was planning on making the switch to all grain. I read that it can be done cheaply and expensively. My LHBS has an all grain setup with pot, false bottom, ball valve and temp gauge. Would a pre made setup be easier? Also what exactly is...

Hey everyone, Brewing my first batch and have a Coopers Real Ale kit, 3 lbs dextrose, 1 oz Citra and 1 oz Cascade hops. Already bought the dextrose so I won't be using DME or LME this time. Help me put together something good.

Hey guys, Looking for an extract recipe that will age well for 6-7 months. My wife is about two months pregnant and a huge beer lover like me. I want to make a good chocolatey coffee stout, her favorite, to celebrate after our next baby is born. Any hints or help?

Done some brewing with the Mr. Beer kit and wanted to step it up a little so I bought the Brewcraft Deluxe kit. I am in a unique place: Alaska. Which brings my first question: Where does everyone from cold climates setup their brewing stuff? I have a garage but it's kept at very low heat (40f)...
