BM, Thanks for the recipe, this looks fantastic! I'm hosting a large brew day for all of my friends & family (mostly non-craft beer drinkers) and I was looking for something light and refreshing for them to try. We will be brewing the extract version together and will consume them during...

Thanks for the recipe, I brewed this on a whim yesterday using yeast from a 12 pack of oberon. I brew extract so as I converted your recipe I didn't realize until afterwards that wheat extract already contains a ratio of "regular" malt and "wheat" malt. It appears my beer won't be very wheaty at...

Thanks so much for this thread! I'm exciting to tweak my frigidaire chest freezer and get kegging! I already found the coarse adjustment screw (popped off the knob and it was right in the face).

Just picked up a chest freezer this weekend and was looking to do a dual tap system, I know where I won't be looking now. Additionally, I was looking to reorder NBs dead ringer ipa and black ipa for two of my friends to brew as they loved those beers...LHBS it is as it sounds like NB and MW are...

Additionally, for me to take advantage of this "apology offer" I would need to use a credit card to cover the shipping! Sure, let me give MW another CC to have more fraud on my account! I can't even purchase something for like $10 plus $8 shipping (keeping the total under $25) because...

Fair enough, although if Midwest's lack of security enabled thieves to steal my CC information (and rack up fraudulent charges), that doesn't go over well in my book. I purchased from Midwest on may 31, and the fraudulent charges were in mid July. If Midwest had any idea that there was security...

Just got my letter this morning, I guess that explains the fraudulent charges I had in July/August. I just went to try this promo code out to see if I could even purchase a kit, too bad $25 is not enough to cover a kit! Additionally, I tried to just purchase some hops to keep it well under $25...

Thanks for the great information everyone, looking forward to trying this with my IPA!

Looking forward to bottling my Graff this weekend!

Just bottled my first brew, a two hearted ale clone from Northern Brewer.

Thanks for the tip, after setting up the blow off tube last night I saw another post using the airlock piece.

Thanks for the heads up, 05 was for my IPA but I'm okay there. I'm currently using 04 for the graff. I decided to rig a blow off just in case, don't want to come home to a mess.

Looks like I'm at 65 ambient, I can't check the fermenting temp just yet as I need another LCD thermometer. I ended up adding the tube from my siphon to the carboy bung to rig a blow off tube just to be safe.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I'm a new brewer and I'm a bit worried using 5 gal carboy with not a lot of headspace. I'm using US04 in about 64 degrees. My primary bucket is 6.5 gallons and an airlock has been working great with an IPA using US05 in around 64 degrees.

How much krausen does this recipe usually produce? I just brewed today and it is currently bubbling away in a 5 gal better bottle with a 3 piece airlock. I currently only have the standard tubing that came ith my Midwest kit, and I don't think it will fit in the bung for a blow off tube. I've...
