i do not own my own mill yet. i want to get one, but it has been put on hold.

I know the answer is in here somewhere but I am too tired to search anymore, lol. I have made several all grain beer with poor efficiency. my last batch was my own little twist with an ipa. 12lbs of 2 row pale, 1 lb of caramel malt and 1 lb of roasted barley. i set up the mash and batch sparge...

i tried to download for windows and it does nothing. i am obviously not computer savvy. please help.

i have never lived anywhere else other than Ionia Michigan. I always wonder about leaving. I love Michigan too much though. i wont be sad if I never leave. I guess that what vacationing is for.

yeah i went back to your original post and saw that you had said it was near port huron. i google mapped it. is there really even a town? it looks like a couple of large farms. lol

I do need to say though....i dont care if you are closer to Green Bay than Detroit....WHERE IS YOUR ALLEGIANCE!?!?!?!? You guys better be careful up there. What would Izzo and Marriucci think?

yeah i havent heard of some of these towns either. goodells? where in the heck is that? Ionia (for those that dont know) is right smack in between Grand Rapids and Lansing. I like it over here. for da yoopers, I am sorry I havent made it very far into your territory. A buddy of mine goes to...

i love how everyone on here is more than helpful. i have spent many hours researching methods to improve on, but how i can rely on people here.

the mash was fine, we didnt properly lauter, i know the reason for that. it was really stupid actually. we didnt push the sugars out properly. we left way too much in the grains.

it was in fermentation bins for two weeks. the bottles are in my basement which is in the low 60s.

i can understand that the flavor is off, but how in the heck is it not carbonated after two full weeks in the bottle. if anything it should be over carbonated.

the og was 1.025. after the first week it was down to 1.010. we then added dme and it boosted right back to where it started. our final was 1.008. should we have let it go for another week or two before bottling? the gravity was already low.

thank you for the warm welcome. i am sure i will be getting in trouble with the wife for constantly being on this site. as stated i started brewing about a year ago and i think i just may be obsessed. i have a brewing buddy and he tried it a couple of times previously before talking about it...

actually for ionia, red salamander and paulys (in lowell) are the two closest. paulys is awesome. they have a great selection of craft brew as well as supplies.

I see how silly that first question was now LOL....maybe i need to proof read a couple of times. Anyway, as far as fermentation, I didnt do anything based on a timed method, it just happened to work that way. I had an active airlock after about the first day and it took right off for days 2-5...

has anyone ever done a brown ale? I just started brewing all grain and was surprised at how simple it could be....or so i thought. I brewed a 3 gallon batch using the jewel of the crown brown ale recipe from http://www.classiccitybrew.com/recipes.html I fermented a week, secondary a week and it...

hello everyone. I have been referring to this site a lot when i have questions brewing and i can usually find an answer, so i finally decided to start an account to actually discuss with you. I have been brewing for about a year so i have a lot to learn still. Do we have anyone else in here from...
