For me it really boils down to planning out my brew days. Lately I tend to err on the side of having too much beer available, so when I have an empty keg - then I brew again.

That's what I thought, thanks so much.

This is probably a stupid question that should go somewhere else, but I'm asking specifically about this recipe. The hop schedule and spice schedule is around 60 minutes. Now when you say "at 20 minutes" or "at 10 minutes", does that mean 10/20 minutes INTO the boil, or with 10/20 minutes...

My username is Boosh, and I posted a bunch. Will more later.

Hey all, I like this recipe and have some questions about fermentation and supplies. Is a secondary necessary for this brew, and if so - why? Also, how do you all transfer your beer from primary to secondary, and from secondary to bottling? I assume some sort of siphoning, but knowing...

I know they do. I learn best through actually _doing_ something, so I can read 100 books before I try something, and I'll make the same mistakes I would have (maybe a couple fewer, but still most of the same) if I had never read. Now, if I actually _try_ something and fail, and I can define...

That's what I figured after some frantic research. Well, I did the brew in a bag method and here's to hoping I didn't screw anything up. We'll know in a couple weeks when I taste the beer prior to bottling. I'll definitely keep those books in mind as I continue.

I'm almost ready to start making everything, when I realized I didn't include any sugar in the recipe. Do I need to add sugar? If so, do I add it when I'm boiling the hops? Also, how much? From what I can gather, I'll need around a cup of sugar (I'm thinking brown) for a 2 gallon brew.

So do a mash, gotcha. I was going to buy a muslin bag for this purpouse, I assume that's one way of doing it. So to make sure I have it straight, I steep the grain for an hour at 150F, then boil the hops for 55 minutes, and continue to boil with the spices for 5 more minutes? Or do I steep...

Prosper, I'm interested in this recipe but I'm really new to home brewing. Is this recipe for 5 gallons, and if so how can it be cut down to 2 gallons? I'm just going to assume you put all of those grains in a bag and boil for an hour, then in the final 5 minutes you add the rest of those...
