    Hops Teabag

    I dry hop with fresh hops off the vine no bag straight into the primary and secondary. Yeast will sort you out if it doesn't smell offyou are good togo.

    July Case Swap!

    Racking Your Brew

    I will weigh in. I definitely agree with manticle for the most part. I only rack things that I am going to leave in the frementor long periods of time. The winter lagers that I make spend 4-6 weeks in a secondary. However, all the porters and ales I make, almost never go into a secondary...

    Mash Temp

    Mash Temp

    Not sure on the SG, I only took it once I had completed my boil. It was 1.058 or so. I was aiming for 1.052. The recipe I was using didn't give me any SG in it so, I just kind of made it up as a went. Since I am new to the whole grain thing should I be taking an SG at Mash out as well...
