So, I just started brewing AG and my first batch was a great success. However the recipe was some base 2 row and a variety of crystal malts, so it wasn't that different than what I could of made with light extract and steeping grains. What grains should I try that I couldn't do with just extract...

Just got done brewing my first batch of all-grain and it went really well! Beer is sitting happily in the fermenter right now. Definitely have some adjustments to make for the next time to make things easier but I hit a brew-house efficiency of 78%! Just want to thank everyone for the great...

I use to use bottled water but I have moved to a new town that has much better tap water, so I'd like to brew with tap water to save on some brewing costs. Is it necessary to use Campden tablets to remove the chlorine? Or will the boil usually cook it out? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Home...

Hey guys, I found this amazing recipe online and thought everyone would like to see it. I just made it with a Harpoon IPA and it's amazing! Would of been even better with homebrew!

Hey guys, So, the SWMBO has never been really crazy about beer, but we went to a brew festival around here last weekend and they had Samuel Smith's fruit beers there. Personally they weren't my thing but she really loved the cherry and strawberry ales. I am hoping to recreate something like...

So, there has been a lot of talk lately about breaking carboys and the dangers involved. I recently started a thread here about how I recently came across a cheap one and some people advised about dangers. That got me thinking, what if we coated a glass carboy with something like this on the...

So, I was helping my dad move into is new house today and when we got there the current homeowner had all his stuff laid out to take out of the place. The first thing I spot is a pristine 5 gallon glass carboy! I asked the guy if he wanted to get rid of it and he said he would let it go for 5...

So, I brewed my first batch about a month and a half ago. I brewed a Belgian Wit kit from William's Brewing. In the instructions it says that my final gravity should be lower than 1.025, I hit it in two weeks at 1.023 with no change over several days so I went ahead and bottled. That final...

Hello, I am 23 and in Hickory, NC. I have been patrolling around this forum for like a year and a half now reading up on some homebrewing tips. I was in the Navy until recently, which made it quite difficult to start homebrewing, but now I am home for good and my wife surprised me with a...
