I was an avid home brewer up until 4 years ago, when personal circumstances made me go on hiatus. I am finally back to brewing, and 4 years of forums threads are a little daunting. So what is new in the last 4 years? New equipment? New forum-favourite recipes? New home-brewing science? New...

Brewed a few kits back in the day but wanting to get into something more serious now - hoping for some advice on partial mashing. For me it's all about the porters - particularly anything smoky - and anything on the sharper end of the craft sphere (hope that's not frowned upon here!) Cheers...
