I want to stick with a bunch of ingredients that I have on hand so I can modify an existing recipe to suit my inventory. I have a bunch of 2-row pale and about 1 lb of chocolate & black patent malt. Hops wise I grow my own centennial, fuggles, cascade and hautauller. I will probably need...

I'm ready to move into all grain brewing (I think) and am just starting to collect up some equipment. I mistakenly bought a 70 qt cooler (rectangular) when I thought I was getting a 50 quart (not paying attention). I was looking to do just 5 gallon batches in the 50 quart cooler and have...

I am doing my first batch from a kit (czech pil). I'm not going to pitch in the DME straight into the batch because I'm not quite sure what the final volume will be (avoiding the yeast on bottom). So I'm going to put the DME in each bottle. I have 1 litre plastic bottles and some grolsch snap...
