Does anyone have any good summer time hops suggestions with this recipe? I really enjoy it the way it is, but was thinking about trying somethinf different for the summer.

I put a 5 gallon keg of this out at family gathering. I was surprised to see how many none craft brew drinkers (most were miller and coors drinkers) loved it. They killed the keg in no time at all. It was the first time that I felt like "real brewer" watching people enjoy and talk about the...

I am looking forward to getting the mill in the mail. I just bought a 50 pound bag of 2 row.

I was between the duda and the Blichmann. I know I lot of people with the Blichmann and read a lot of positive review. The final factor was the resale value on ebay. People are nuts paying almost full price for used Therminators. I was impressed with the duda disiel mircon filter bags that I...

I am thinking about buying the cereal killer it is 99 and I have a 10 certificate. My LHBS has a special on 50lbs bags of base malt. All signs are pointing to buying a grain mill. Is it worth the expense and time to store and crush. My lhbs is only a mile from my house. Opinions are welcome.

My old propane burner needs to be replaced. I have a 15 gallon pot and brew 5 and 10 all grain batches. I have used a friends Bayou and liked it. Will I get more out of the blichmann to make it worth the extra $50-60? Any advice would be great...

I am in the process if brewing a cream ale and I just realized that my digital thermometer is broken. It is reading about 25 degrees lower. I did not realize it until 40 minutes into mashing. I heated up some water and I am at about 135 now. I was at 125. Any advice would be great.

Do you think it will impact the flavor greatly? Does it make a difference how hot my boil is? I think I had it at a steady 225.
