all grain

I've only ever brewed 5 gallon all grain batches, but I would like to try to scale up to 10 gallons soon. I plan to do so by just using Beersmith to scale an existing 5 gallon recipe. I would like to know if there are any 'gotchas', in the transition. My brew kettle is a 1/2 barrel sankey...

I've been brewing extract for a couple years and since I am getting married in June, I think it's a great opportunity to finally buy my AG equipment and affordably provide an open bar for our guests. After a lot of searching online I've found Ontario Beer Kegs consistently has the lowest...

Hello fellow brewers. Ive been playing around with the idea of making a Dark Pilsner. I know Dark Lagers are very popular but being a bit of an experimentalist, I'm thinking why not a Dark Pilsner! Thing is i've never even made a Pilsner before. Does anyone have any advice or recipes to share?

So I stumbled across this article the other day: https://www.brewpi.com/what-is-ideal-herms-coil-length-theory-experiments/ The further I got into the article the more the analysis motivated me to do my own. They neglect some of the true physics at play and treat many variables as fixed...

I was testing my newly built Mash Tun (5 Gal Rubbermade cooler) and noticed it leaking from the holder for the paper cups. I realized there was a crack in the bottom of the cooler and all the foam insulation was getting soaked. Is there anything to seal up the cracked liner?

Looking for some of your favorite all grain recipe's that aren't loaded with goods. Kind of like those books: 100 meals you can cook with 5 ingredients or less. Real simple but REALLY good beers that I can kick off my all grain process with.

I'm looking at new grain mills and I was just looking for opinions as to the quality and ease of use of the Monster Mill, Crankandstein and Grain Crusher. All three are relatively pricey, and I just want to get the most for my money. Discuss>

I have only made one batch of beer and planning my second. Obviously I'm a big dreamer already thinking about a 3 tier brewing system. My father in law is a welder and could easily put together a rack like the one in the video listed. http://www.youtube.com/JoePolvino#p/u/1/Zk6d1dy9jOc...
