We use the glass carboy's here in the US. Plastic can acquire hard to clean scratches. As for a conical, I've read that the shoulders of the carboy aren't steep enough for the yeast to slide down for proper dumping.

If you're looking for a darker color from a single malt then you might want to start your boil while you are running off the mash. This will slightly carmelize things. Same deal with a Scottish Mild, either carmelize or use more grain. Don't know how it will effect the taste, but a quick darkening m...

Thanks for all the responses. Good to know that it all boils down to plain old preference. An interesting turn this thread has taken, one that I can also contribute to. My mother-in-law is training her bloodhound search and rescue dog and I had the opportunity to be this weekends "bait". While walki...

Which recipes are spot on?

I've not been to the UK for almost two years and my only comparison tool is memory and bottles. While all my beers have turned out fin...
