Your 7 gallon kettle will do just fine. I used a 7 gallon kettle yesterday with 11 pounds of grain. Put about 6 gallons of water in your kettle and then slowly add your grain. I used a 2 cup measuring cup to drop my grain in. Your grain will end up absorbing water which stops it from...

I really enjoy the Canadians that I am on a personal basis with. I do have some concerns about the rest of you guys though (at least those on the west coast). I live just south of Vancouver and have made some observations; Canadians have no regard for the rules of the road. (Very...

And to think that Bill Gates quit trying to stop Malaria and went back to being CEO just for this contest...

I went into a bar in NJ two years ago during a business trip. This guy walks up and gives the bartender fifty cents and orders a PBR on tap. What the heck? PBR? They still brew that? I hadn't drank, seen nor heard about PBR in more than 20 years. Anyway, last month my wife and I went...

I wish I could help you with that, but I can't. Sorry, I will keep an eye out though. I would like the author of that book though. I also wanted to tell you that, it seems that you and I have the same taste in beer. I'm doing the same thing you are doing with brewing the an entire series of...

Sorry TexLaw - I'll raise one tonight
