Yes! Getting anste or however it's spelled. Been in Saudi Arabia for 3 months. In the words of the great Homer Simpson, " No beer no TV make Homer go something something..."

Only two more weeks an I can get to brewing....yeah! Just thought I'd share that.

You're not in the military are you? I went to tech school with a John Galt. At least I think his first name was John.

It all makes perfect sence now. Thanks a lot!!!

Sorry for being so ingnorant on the subject but I'm just wondering why you would whirlpool. I know you said it makes the trub settle in the middle of the pot. Is this so you can syphon from the side and not worry about too much sediment. How many people actually syphon their wort from the pot to pri...

Hey Guys, One more question for you. I'm just wondering the percentage of people here who had a successful first batch. Meaning they were satisfied with what they made. Obviously as time goes on you may look back and think that that first batch wasn't really up to par considering how many better bat...

Hey Guys, I was just wondering about which brand/type of yeasts are best for people just beggining. Obviously the strain you pick will have to do with the type of beer but I'm interested in knowing which brands have the highest about of pitchable yeast cells. Also which is usually better for a begin...

Hey guys. I have a couple of quick questions about dry hopping. I know that most usually do it when transfering to the secondary. I was reading instructions on it and they said to stir the hops in well with a sanitized spoon. (Note: The instructions I was reading were not using a secondary and sugge...

That's exactly what I mean. I graph or a list of percentages that a particular style of beer conforms to? Hopefuly that would help a bit. I would like to help more but I am still very ignorant when it comes to home brewing. (still learning) Thanks,

Since I am new in using these tools I may be suggesting something that is already included in the software or is not really worth it. But since I am new to homebrewing I think it would be helpful for people like me to be able to see a template on the type of beer we're going to create before we begi...

Thanks for all the great info!

Hi Everyone, I have yet another question. Umm..More like a request for info. Anyway, what do you guys think of conical fermenters. Do any of you own one? If so what advantages are there and can you also give me a general idea of how the work. I can't figure out how your troob would be settled to the...

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a good book that goes into the history of beer in general and also gets into some certain types of beers. I always find it interesting to learn about the histories of different types or genres if you will. Thanks,

Thanks for the info. If anyone would be interested I'll post another thread about how my first brew comes out. That will be in about two months. As of now I'm unfortunatley in !@#$ Saudi Arabia!!! In the mean time I'll keep posting questions and what not. Thankyou all for you help.

Ok, Thanks so much for the information. But I do have one other question that was brought up after reading your posts. I haven't heard much on websites about primary and secondary fermentation. I was under the impression that after you had pitched the yeast and given the proper amount of time for fe...
