I am soooo bummed! I am new to the area and don't have internet hooked up yet my house. Just ran out of grain from my last group buy in Va and finally got online today to see if anyone in the greater Pittsburgh area ever did the bulk buys. Looks like I JUST missed this. So unless someone is...

This recipe left alone is Awesome! It has become my staple brew. I did however just make a batch with a Chocolate Malt addition and it turned out very nice. It was a real crowd pleaser. Also, I dropped a few white oak chips that I had soaked in Bourbon into a few of the bottles and WOW!!! I...

I can't wait to try this recipe! Unfortunately I just tried another one that was close but it called for 1.5 oz of hops at 60 min. That made it way to bitter and kind of soapy tasting for the TH. So next time I am for sure using this recipe. I don't have much CaraPils(if any) on hand right...

I am not really worried about this one turning out badly... I tasted it again at bottling and I think this one is going to be awesome! I was mostly wondering if anyone else had issues with this one finishing at a higher gravity than expected. At this point I am assuming it must have been a...

I used this recipe as my third All Grain batch. My first two batches suffered from really low efficiency and I think I may have overcompensated this time. I ended up with 1.060 as my OG. Everything else went fine until it hit 1.020. I have tried shaking it, moving it to warmer temp...

To all homebrewers in the Northern VA area I just wanted to put a good word in for Jay's Brewing http://stores.jaysbrewing.com/StoreFront.bok This might be old news for everyone else, but I was excited to actually find a local store that is strictly a homebrew supply store and not a store that...

Sounds good Dave!

For now you can at least put me down for 1 bag of 2-row and 1 bag of Maris Otter. I am new to all grain brewing and buying ingrediants in bulk, any suggestions on what would be a good third bag to get if I generally prefer Stout, Porter, Brown Ale, IPA, Scotch Ale, and Trappist Style Ales...

I live in Front Royal and would love to get in on this! Since this has been the week to fix my car(stupid, rusted POS!) I need to double check the money supply before I commit. If its not too late when are you hoping to make the last call? I might be able to get one or two guys in on this as...

Thanks for all the great response on this!(My crappy internet has been out because of recent weather.... I have satelite...bla) I have started to look into some of the distributors you all have posted and it looks like there really are some great deals out there if you just keep your eyes...

Thanks for the fast response all! So I need to buy in bulk... any ideas on where from? I live in Northern, VA. I've been trying to keep my eye open for good bulk prices but haven't found anything yet that's made me look twice. I only know one other guy that brews AG, I guess I should try...

I finally got everything together to start brewing AG and did my first batch last week. It went pretty smooth and I think things are going well thus far. So I decided I was going to start looking at what my next few beers would be and began browsing Norther Brewer's site. Then I started...

It's been over a year since I have really been back on this forum and so first I want to apologize for not thanking everyone that answered my question back then... it really helped at the time! Thankfully I have moved much farther beyond this question... I decided after this post that I really...

I just started brewing and my first batch of Irish Stout turned out good and gets better everyday! I am currently waiting on a batch of hard cider to be finished, though from what I have been reading it has a ways to go(it's only been 3 weeks). This whole brewing thing is so cool. There is...
