I'm wanting to do a Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat clone. Using the recipe that Northern Brewer has and cross referencing with the Tallgrass website, they use Carapils and White Wheat in their recipe that is not in the Northern Brewer kit. It's my first time using Carapils and my question is do I...

Hello! Quick ingredient question for anyone who can help I've got some 60L & Special B leftover from some previous brewing & would like to make an Amber next. Any ideas on how much of each I should use? I'm not proficient at recipe building & haven't taken the time, or money, to purchase a...

So I'm wanting to brew my 3rd batch of beer & water is going to be my new focus over everything else. Just theoretically speaking, help me understand using Distilled/RO/Spring vs Tap water. Obviously the first 3 are filtered to eliminate chlorine & the like from drinking water, but what is...

What's the best way to store any leftover grains or hops from a brew day? How long will they stay "fresh" for? My LHBS is the local liquor store & they don't carry a great amount of grains and what they do keep is 1 pound bags of non crushed steeping grains. Nearest true LHBS is 1 1/2 hours...
