Hey everyone, I just got my Northern Brewer 5 gallon Rubbermaid cooler mash tun, and am planning on using for the first time this weekend...it has a pretty strong plastic smell though, even after I've rinsed it a couple times with star san and hot water. Is this something that I should worry...

Hey all - I have been all grain brewing small 1 gallon batches for over a year and now want to step up to 3 gallons. I'm very happy with the beer I've made recently, so I'd like to keep the process as close as possible to what I've done in the past (the process is from the book Beer Craft if...

Hello, I'm brewing the one gallon all grain recipe from the great "BeerCraft" book tomorrow, and everything seems fine (I've put the numbers into Beer Calculus), except the amount of bittering hops. The recipe calls for 20 grams of 9.5AA Target hops at 60 minutes. This calculates to about 144...

So, my favorite sport - baseball - starts in a little over 2 months, so I want to have a tasty homebrew ready. I've only made one batch so far (which I'm drinking now) - the IPA kit from Brewer's Best. I need some recommendations. I love all IPA beers (especially Dogfish Head), but are the 60...

Hey, I just finished moving my very first Brewer's Best kit (IPA) to primary fermentation. However, I'm a little confused as to how the siphon and bottling setup work. Can anyone who has used one of these kits give a little more detail (the directions don't seem to cover this area) as to...
