I haven;t been on this forum for sometime but I saw this. I been brewing wheat extract for years. I always rack it a 2nd time in a carboy and that gets the trub out. I saw a lot of guys don't rack a 2nd time but I am a firm believer of this. Been brewing since 1995.

I brewed the Slobber 2 times. Bottled one and kegged the other. I had a family picnic on July 14th and the keg of Slobber was drained along with a keg of Cherry Wheat. I got rave reviews on both and maybe some future home brewers to boot. Just make it the way it is and be patient like they tell...

I brew a lot of wheat beer either flavored or unflavored. I use 4 oz to 5-6 gallons. I host a monthly poker game where we send guys to Vegas to play in the WSOP. Here is a part of the email one player sent me today regarding our game this Saturday. I gauge on how good my beer is by what others...
