    BIAB...sort of, but thought I'd share my process

    2 questions: 1. Any difficulty maneuvering that quantity of hot liquid? 2. How do you handle an unexpected drop in mash temp (since I'd guess you can't fire up the burner again if all the grain is sitting on the bottom of the pot)?

    Blonde ale

    It seems like a lot of torrified wheat. When I use it, I generally do 4 oz with good results for head retention.

    What are your tips for keeping costs down

    When you need a pulley to get your hop bag out of the boil, you're either doing something horribly wrong or wonderfully right!

    What are your tips for keeping costs down

    What are your tips for keeping costs down

    I'm making a session IPA/hoppy pale ale right now. 5 gal batch w/ 11# of grain and 8.5 oz of hops, buying in bulk and re-using yeast, comes to a little under $25.

    What are your tips for keeping costs down

    That is a great way of putting it.

    Re-using yeast

    Does anybody have a good technique for doing this with dryhopped beers? One that doesn’t involve washing or racking to secondary for dry hop? I have found the first to be a pain in the ass and the second to have oxidation risks.

    Cold IPA

    So what should people call this beer characterized by lager grain bill/yeast and high hop-content fermented at ale temperatures? Preferably in 3 words or less. I get the gripes (sort of), but when someone says something like "session IPA", however technically incorrect, I know exactly what...

    Are hipsters ruining craft beer?

    I don't mind the hazy IPAs and have no opinion about hipsters ruining craft beer... ...but I love the hell out of this quote.
