Now that is one pink beer!:eek: Mine doesn't have any pink in it, and I went of the original recipe and used the Wyeast 1272. Only a couple more weeks before I can try it. Can't wait.

Nope, no taste test. I knew the strawberries soak up some of the beer, so I wanted to save every last bit until it was prime since everybody on the thread keeps saying how good it is!

I didn't take a taste test, but I could smell a strong strawberry scent from the fermenting bucket, and a more mild scent from the keg. It wasn't an in your face scent. And I'm not sure if this matters but the strawberries weren't entirely white, but they definitely lost a decent amount of color...

I moved this into my keg tonight. I was kind of disappointed that there wasn't really any pink coloring in the beer. It was a nice gold color though. It was on the strawberries for 6 days. I'm just hoping I still get some scent and flavor from the strawberries. I guess I'll just have to wait a...

Awesome. That's what I was hoping to hear. Thank you!:tank:

I realize that I don't want to rack too much, but there was just a post in the recipe thread with somebody saying it was a good thing they used the 6.5 gallon carboy because the 8 pounds of strawberries took up a lot of space. So I'm not very certain whether or not it will fit in that carboy...

Hey guys, so I am currently brewing the succulent strawberry blonde from the recipe section. I was planning on moving it off of the yeast cake either tonight or tomorrow, but I realized that the only fermentors I open is my bottling bucket and a 5 gallon better bottle, which I don't think is big...

So, I started this on Tuesday and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to leave it as just a blonde or put it on strawberries. I was thinking doing this on strawberries and doing a batch of the centennial blonde. Or is that not enough variety for summer?

The recipes section at the top is pretty awesome. Along with the BYO recipe list.

Oh, I definitely believe you. But like you said you were trying it with beer. I was hoping you had experience with another heavier soda. That's all.

Will the rootbeer also flavor other sodas? Such as a cream soda or a cherry cola? Or will a good cleaning mask it?

So, even though the soda flavors get stuck in the plastic, would I notice it for going between different sodas, say rootbeer to cream soda to ginger ale? And thank you for the information. I believe I'm going to try and upgrade to the 5 lb tank. -Connor

So, for Christmas my parents were nice enough to get me a two keg kegerator conversion kit and I was hoping I could start doing soda now with force Carb. So, my questions are whether or not having soda in one keg will make my co2 tank last a lot fewer kegs. I only have a 20oz tank so I'd like to...

Sounds like a good deal then. I'll just not worry about the og then and look for my fg sometime next week.

And one more, I definitely have 5 gallons in the fermentor. At least it's a touch over the 5 gallon mark on the bucket.
