I would recommend starting with the training video. If you have any questions, BD will be more than happy to help you out.

I'm not sure ^Ozwald, but I don't believe this video was helpful to me... at all.

I'm sure I can find this out somewhere but how does one join the BN Army?

You just did...Welcome.

an occassional "Suck it JP" helps too.

Thanks TheDarkSide... but why would I say "Suck it JP"? Is this the same JP, Justin, from "Brew Strong"?

Hmm... you must not have watched the video all the way to the end. Give it another try. It should make perfect sense.

JP is just JP, not Justin or John. JP is far to handsome to be on Brew Strong. He'd give Jamil a complex.

Okay so I've donated $$ to this crazy, but informative website/group of Freaks & Geeks. Do I just add my Rank to my signature block at will according to my pledge amount?

I'm going to be making an Imperial Stout soon, and I've been doing a 2 step mash, as per Gordon Strong's suggestion, just the base malts for most of the time (~40 min.), and then add the dark malts for the last 15 min. or so. I'm convinced this helps the dark malt flavors, thanks, Gordon.

I recently tested my water, and am using John Palmer's spread sheet for residual alkalinity and additions calculations. So my 1st mash is basically the same as for a light colored IPA, little acid added with those malts, but then I want the water to be right for the final beer, which would become much more acidic after the dark malts are added. Suggestions? Thanks,
