Hey all, with the up-and-coming move to AG, I'm quite interested in reading lab research on the subject of brewing. Where might I find such studies (for free)?

My glass carboy has two "lips" -- the top rim and one below it. Which should hold the carboy? I presently have it on the lower one (, but a quick google image search will show pictures both ways. Furthermore, the instructions on the handle package say to "press down until it encompasses the base...

I just went to an LHBS and got the ingredients for my first AG: EdWort's Haus PA (plus an extra ounce of Cascade, in case I get slightly creative... otherwise it's good to have in these tough times). I also bought some Montrachet and yeast nutrient for Ed's equally-rave-reviewed Apfelwein...

In your opinions, will it work? Also, would the steeped CaraMunich keep in the fridge? Mine's from Thursday. Thanks.

Last night I did my first full boil on a brand-new dirt-cheap turkey fryer. It took a good long time! The problem was that I couldn't turn the gas up all that much without the flames "escaping" from the bottom of the pot. I figured that if I let this continue too much and just cranked it, I'd be...

Well, I've only done 2 batches so far (the third's ready to go, I'll brew hopefully today). As I posted in another thread, I picked up a cheap turkey fryer and a decent cooler for less than $60 (the home depot deals, the latter just cause they had it, wouldn'ta bought one otherwise). It's so...

Hey everyone, I've been posting for a month or so already and the community's been nothing short of enlightening, both in response to my own questions and during my "lurking". Name's Joe. Yesterday was my birthday, and HBT sent me an email wishing me a good one. Nice feature, admins... thanks!

I just got back from my LHBS, where a very helpful brewshopmaster helped me put together the ingredients for a recipe I found on the web (but with a few replacements for both preference and availability) for a strong, dark belgian. Twice the cost of an ordinary kit! But I'm hoping it'll be...

I've got a molasses porter in primary since last saturday (11 days). Just took a hydrometer reading. The recipe is based on Brewer's Best robust porter, which specifies OG of 1.050-1.055 and FG of 1.012-1.015. I added ~12oz. of blackstrap molasses and a bit of licorice. My OG was 1.062...

... and first off, whoa! I made beer! Awesome! But there are problems. But before I tell them, let me say that it's young, and I know time does solve many. I bottled it 9 days ago, after it had spent 13 days in primary (and on bottling day, it tasted amazing!). It's only been in the fridge...
