If you are planning on making an extract recipe, any grain the recipe calls for will be for steeping. A good rule of thumb is to steep the grain in 150 to 155F (66 to 68.5C) for 30minutes. I use a ratio of water and grain of 1gal of water for every 1lb of grain. However I'm not sure how...

The India Brown Ale might be a good gateway to IPAs even though it's an IBA.

Hi Tim good luck on your first batch

I hope the batch comes out well

I use the resource Mike linked often. My advice is to research some clone recipes of beers you know well and compare the yeast strains they use. Sometime I experiment with different yeasts a bit. I used Belgian yeast in an attempted imperial stout. It was supposed to be tolerant up to 10%...

Thanks for the welcome replies. Graintoglass - That sucks. I hope I get some feedback. And I hope the post office doesn't fail me too. Floppy - I'm sure the judges there are just as rewarding.

Hey everybody I'm a homebrewer who recently moved just outside Boston. I won a small homebrew competition in college and was hooked. I'm still an extract brewer. I'm looking to move towards all grain or partial in the near future without sacrificing much more space in my apartment. I have...

Put me down as another Google search. You'll probably be happy to know that I came across the forum a lot while doing research, looking up recipes, and other random hb searches. I decided today I might as well join the nonsense.
