***Brewed (11) 5 gallon batches by the end of March 2010. So far I have loved everyone of them.
***I am limited on space so I avoid using secondaries and bottling buckets. I try to keep things as simple as possible and use extracts and steeping grains only. I started off with about 125 12 oz bottles but I have been collecting 17 and 22 oz bottles from commercial brews I have tried. These larger bottles are a huge help speeding the bottling process along.
***I prefer Belgian yeast strains and I will eventually have to try every one of them. So far I have tried Wyeast 3522 3638 3655 3942 3944 and 1044.
***I am interested in the nutritional benefits of homebrew. Bottle conditioned beers have lots of vitamin B complex from the yeast and some protein as well. I always use wheat extracts but despite this the brews are crystal clear unless the yeast are intentionally stirred up, which creates a nice haze (although some yeast strains can appear chunky as well)
