Hi guys, im making my first wit and im not following a recipe. Im steeping 1lb of flaked wheat, then using 3lbs of plain wheat DME and 3.3lbs of wheat LME, im using 1oz of german hallertau and .5oz of Mt. rainier. also using 1oz freshly ground corriander and 1oz of bitter orange peel. I have all...

thanks man, cheers

Would it be ok to primary ferment a 5gallon batch in a 5gallon glass carboy or should i use the carboy strictly for secondary. I already use a 6.5 plastic but i got two 5gallon carboys for free!!! Hell yeah!!!:mug:

Just a quick question guys. I have 3/4lb of grains to steep. How much water should i steep them in. It is a 2gl wort total. Help would br great, getting ready to brew today. Thanks:mug:

If anyone has done a octoberfest clone or something close please post the recipe. Planning my second batch and have only used extract.:mug:

So i just boiled my 2/3 cup of sugar in 2 cups of water and it says to let it cool. Do i need it to be at room temp or what? How cool?:mug:

its a pale ale temp has been between 68-70

so now that we figured out the problem hould i bee ok to bottle, i will probably wait till sunday anyway giving it two weeks exactly

that sounds a little more reasonable, thanks

the amber was dry and the the boil was 2 gallons added to a total of 5gal batch

you guys need to remember than i forgot to take my OG reading, the OG reading is from hopville that im using based on ingerdients. My actual OG may have been much lower im guessing

3lb plain amber malt extract, 4lbs can of pale malt extract, .5oz northern brewer hop pellet Alpha 12.3, 1oz cascade hop pellets Alpha 6.0, 1/2 cup of pure honey, 2gallon boil, white labs california ale liquid yeast

So the % alcohol is really going to be that high? Yikes, Like i said it tadtes pretty good. So should i wait the full 2 weeks or do you think im ready to bottle?

oh i get it now, so the % alcohol is really going to be that high? Yikes, its tasted pretty good though, amber color smooth finish. So should i bottle it? Maybee wait till sunday and give it the full 2weeks?

Thats what it said on hopville, projected 11.6 %, maybee i am reading my hydrometer wrong but when its floating at the 1.020 the projected alcohol is at 2.5%
