Beer Recipes / Request: Left Hand Snowbound clone recipe

« on: November 07, 2012, 10:22:51 am »

This was my grandfathers favorite beer. I would like to be able to replicate it for him with an extract batch of homebrew. If anyone could provide me a clone recipe or something extremely close, I would be forever indebted to them! Thank you all for looking and helping!

General Homebrew Discussion / New to brewing, a few questions

« on: January 09, 2012, 02:41:24 pm »

My girlfriend got me a brewing kit for Christmas. I have read a few guides, including the zymergy magazine. The main question I have is that the kit she got me has one fermentation bucket, a plastic carboy, and a bottling bucket (with a spigot). All of the beginner guides I have read (including the magazine) only have a one fermentation bucket description on how to brew. My questions are, when do i know when to transfer the beer to the plastic carboy? Is this plastic carboy transfer only going to improve clarity? Also if there are any very detailed begging guides I have passed up, I would be greatly appreciated for links or book names. Thank you for reading this, and CHEERS!
