I'm going to prepare for summer with a whitbeer, and I'm needing a little help from the community. Here's the recipe I'm shooting for http://beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=3019. It looks good and I'm going for a 3 gallon batch, but I've got a few questions: 1. I've heard rumors of doing...

Hello all...I'm a noob :o to the home brewing scene and I've settled on partial mashing with 2 Mr. Beer fermenters right now. I'm only three batches in experience-wise and my carpool buddy is on vacation. So I turn to you fine folks for advice. I pulled a recipe from BeerTools for a...
