    American Pale Ale Cascades / Orange Pale Ale

    sorry for the noob-ness...but arent you supposed to allow all grain to boil for half an hour before you begin to officially start the clock on a 60 minute boil? If this is the case im gonfused about the phrasing "first wort" regarding the addition of the 1st oz of cascade because it says 60 min...

    Benefits of milling your own grain?

    Sorry if its a noobish question, but what are the benefits of milling your own grain before you brew as opposed to having the HBS you order from mill your grain for you as you order it??

    First Winner Beer

    Hard water ever effect the taste of your finished beer?

    I use corn sugar, dissolved in 2 cups of hot water then stirred into the whole 5 gallons after cooling. The only thing I can think of is maybe some leftover yeast or somewhat dirty bottles...Before bottling I rinse the bottles with very hot water then soak them in a water/star-san solution...I...

    Hard water ever effect the taste of your finished beer?

    This is what is very confusing to me...more than half of the beers Ive had so far have been delicious, not a bit of the "hard water taste". But every 3 or 4 beers I get one that doesnt taste quite right

    Hard water ever effect the taste of your finished beer?

    All stored together..drank on a clean palate/without food... the only thing I can think of is that I bottled them after cold crashing and the beer may have still been a bit cool (60ish)...think this would make a difference?

    Alcohol Boost Off Flavor?

    For my last 2 brews Ive used the AHS +1 Alcohol Boost and was wondering if anyone else has experience with this. It definitely worked as far as boosting the alcohol goes (my last IPA came out to 7.6%!), but I keep detecting a small offtaste with it. My IPA has been in the bottle for nearly a...
