So I have been brewing for a over a year now. I have been doing some of my own beers with great out comes. I repeatedly get asked if I can lighten up my light beer anymore. aka Lagers, and Kollech. I just tell them to go grab a coors light if thats what you want. Then I did a Wheat Beer, but...

Well i was able to crack a couple of these over the last weekend. Wow, they where very drinkable. I loved the combination. It is giong to be done again. It taste like a light pale ale more then a wheat beer. I love taste in a beer, and this one has it.

ok sounds like i need to wait till i have a bigger pot. I really want to convert a old keg into one, but i live in mn and them things are hard to get your hands on. I remeber in college having a couple empty ones always laying around, made good end tables. I am kicking myself now.

I have all the stuff to do two 5 gallon beers at one time. To do a 10g batch with one boil, what would i need to know? anyone seen a thread simalar to this? I have a 7 gallon pot for the boil.

Well atleast it will smell like a pale ale instead of wheat.

thanks for the input. the rest of the recipe calls for 2 oz. of Amarillo hops dry hoped for 7 days. That will give me a little more IBU to my weird wheat.

So i went to my local HBS to get stuff for a recipe i got on a wheat pale ale. sounded different so i wanted to try it. Well I got home, and relized i had grabed hallertau instead of Warrior hops. The rest of the recipe called for amarillo hops. I just used the Hallertau hops instead of...

I did not do the best job keeping all the hops out of the transfer. You could see the little peices of hop sediment cascading down the glass after the pour.

Cracked a couple over the weekend. Super hoppy. They where really good. So the longer they sit the more mellow they get? Or does the dry hoppy the last five days ramp up the hoppiness?

With this brew i used 3oz of Pacific Jade hops for 5 gallons. then dry hopped with another 2oz. I went back and looked at my data sheet, and I guess my O.G. was 1.071, still under what you guys concider high. So I think I am just not going to worry about it and just enjoy one this weekend...

I added my dry hops for the last 5 days in the secondary. I think they suggested the 6 weeks in the secondary, because there was a high OG. I think it was 1.061. I dont think i screwed up the beer, but just not sure if waiting in one over the other make a big deal. Thanks for input.

I recently did a IPA that was suppossed to be in the secondary fermenter for 6 week total. Some how i missed that part and bottled the beer after a total of two weeks instead of 7 weeks it suggested. Will i be ok if I just leave it in the bottle for 6 weeks before putting in the fridge for...

When you put it in the keg for 6 mounth, did you use a air lock or seal it up like you where done with it? If you sealed it did you add any other thing to the beer like champain yeast? I ask because i want to cask condition half of my RIP stout. If I fill it and place it in a 60-70 degree spot...

Tall grass velvet roaster.

Has anyone used german ale yeast instead of bohemian lager yeast. Looking for a way around lagering a dark beer. I think it will be cleaner with the lager yeast, but willing to try a new way. :rockin: :mug:
