  Why are you fermenting at 64 degrees? Hefe's do good up or above 70.

  My wife loves a local microbrew's hefe that smells like banana bread. I'm going to use this
  recipe but bump the DME to 6# and ferment at about 72-74 degrees. SWMBO is actually going to

  I brought this to my company's homebrew festival last week. I wasn't sure how people would

  I stupidly forgot to put a few ounces of pellet hops I bought yesterday in the fridge. They

  fridge from ...
