Hello all, Finally got a propane burner and a giant pot in order to do full wort boils. Not all-grain yet, but extract and steeping grains. Couple of quick questions: 1. With full wort, I assume I just use 5 gallons to start and then imagine I"ll need to add water at some point...

Hey guys. First of all, please excuse my lack of full knowledge here. I know this may seem a bit undetailed...hence my asking for help though! Anyway, have a cool opportunity to go brew at the Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta next week for winning a contest. We are set to brew an...

Hello all, I searched for this and didn't find much concrete info. Anyway, I ordered the AHS IPA kit in their anniversary ale and am going to brew it up this weekend. I always like to put my little touch on any kit I might do and decided on jasmine based on a couple things that I read...

Hello all, I just purchased the AHS Anniversary IPA kit. I'm sure it'll be great but I tend to not like brewing stuff at home that I can easily get at any decent store. Meaning, just a normal, simple IPA is fine....but I'd rather add a little something to it. What might you guys...

Hello all, I recently had this beer at a local bar for the first time and loved it. Bought a 6-pack yesterday and it's outstanding...esp for the summer. I've been wanting to make some sort of a refreshing vanilla beer as my next batch (only my 3rd, very new) but most recipes I've seen...

Hello all, I"m very new (just bottled very first batch) but the wheels in my head are already turning. For my next batch, I got the Ginger Pale Ale kit from Austin Homebrew. The description on the site says its a subtle hint of ginger and I want it to be a little more prevalent. So...

Hello, First off, I"m extemely new both to here and the hobby. I JUST brewed my very first batch 3 days ago and it's fermenting now of course. I apologize if I should've posted this in the Beginner's forum but I figured it was recipe related. Anyway...I used the True Brew IPA kit...
