Hi all, I went to my LHBS on the weekend for some steeping grains and unfortunately they only sell the crushed grains pre-packaged. I had to get a 500g bag of brown malt even though I only needed 150g. The LHBS reckoned that I could put the rest in the freezer and that they would last up to 6...

Hi all, I recently got my hands on an old fridge and an inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller (short probe). I've been doing a bit of a test run today and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I do have a couple of questions for those of you using this controller: I did a temperature calibration...

Hi all, I've been a member of AHB for a little while but this is my first post. I'm still finding my feet but I'm up to my 5th batch, the last 2 being patrial mashes. I'm hooked and would love to move onto all grain but living in an apartment is a bit limiting. I'm also keen to join a homebrew...
