Thanks for the replies. I was looking for something a little better for presentation purposes. Any ideas using different cut up fruits? Thanks

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right spot but I have a block party coming up and I'd like to make a big jug of "jungle juice". I remember a friend of mine made it in this large carboy looking thing that had a built in tap. Everything was done in that vessel. Fresh fruits, water and...

Did you remove the door panel? Make sure the door gaskets are in place. I have a digital temp controller for mine and I've gotten that bad boy down to freezing.

Yea I totally rushed it because I wanted to get the beer carbed up for the party. Right now its been sitting at 11psi for 2 days. I'll give it a few more days and try again. I will never do the shake method again; I feel like I've ruined a awesome batch of brew.

I relieved all the pressure from the keg and I'm still getting foam with now almost no carbonation. I just cranked it up too 11psi and I guess I'll just let it sit for a few days. Anyone have an idea why I'm having this issue? The corney keg I'm using has a longer dip tube then the others...

Nice setup! I'm looking into doing something like this too.

I decided I wanted to try quickly carbing my Witbier vs. the usual week process at 11psi. I wanted to get the beer carbed quickly for a party this weekend but I'm having some major issues. This is what I did: Set the regulator to 35PSI and shook the keg when it wasn't at serving temp...

I believe it. I racked to my secondary last night and within a few hours I was at high krausen again :drunk: My gravity is at 1.021 at 73 degree's. The Wit had a pleasant aroma already and after tasting it I can say I think my spice's balanced out very well. I plan on leaving the Wit in my...

Anyone have any insight on how long I can expect to see activity? I've never seen a beer ferment for so long, then again this is my first belgium beer.

My fermentation took off great just about 30 hours after pitching my yeast. I have had the Wit in my primary for a week now with light signs off activity still. What is the typical span of time I can expect my Wit to stay in the primary before I rack it?

Since this is my first time brewing this recipe I'm doing a 5 gal batch then making adjustment's. If things turn out well I'll do a bigger batch next time. Once again thanks for all the help this forum rock! :rockin:

Thanks guys I definitely wanted to reduce the spice I read way to much of people overpowering their batches. Now how about some opinions on boiling times when to add my extract etc. Homebrewer99 posted some great info, Id like to hear some more. Thanks:D
