    step mash schedule for med/high body beers

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on step-mash schedules for medium or high body beers? Most step mashes seem to be concerned with getting a highly fermentable wort (e.g. a lager). My system is a bit of a weird RIMS-like setup and there's a few different temperature points...

    What are the hops in Bridge Road's B2 Bomber Mach 4.0?

    Has anyone tried Bridge Road Brewery's B2 Bomber Mach 4.0? Does anyone have any thoughts on what the hops in it are? I've read a few reviews which have talked about pine and fruit but personally I didn't get that at all and definitely got lots of spice.

    Confused about lagering times and temperatures

    Hi all, I hope this isn't a question that is constantly asked but... I'm confused about the lager process as there seems to be a lot of contradictory information out there.
