I did a Vienna lager and oktoberfest mix half i fermented as an ale the other half I lagered. Both have what i fell is a nice bit in the hops flaver. Would love for people to try it and see how it really is.

Thank you they recomend putting the tabs in first. From videos i have seen of people useing tabs. They have not had a problem this way. Have you tryed it that way

I picked them up and am confused. This is my first time bottlimg. But it says 3-5 tabs per 12oz. Is this correct? It just seems like alot to me. Second how many do i put in a one letter bottle. Thank you in advance for all the help.

Were do i live in Maryland?

This is kinda what I was expecting mixed fillings. But still leaves me very hopeful, After my 10Gals of Kolsch is done. I will get a plan together, materials ready and decide from there. But with that said I see myself pulling the trigger on this one. Have given up on alot of other ones and...

its an Oktoberfest / Vienna lager / Kolsch mix. I was just thinking it would be interesting to see what it would turn out to be, I have the kits just laying around and I have made them several times. I guess it's more curiosity then anything.

I Was thinking of mixing 3 beer kits and don't know how it will turn out or if I should change some things. 15Gals HERE'S THE BREAK DOWN Fermentables Amount Fermentable PPG °L Bill % 3.3 lb Liquid Malt Extract - Pilsen 35 2 16.3% 9.9 lb Liquid Malt Extract...

Ok thank you for all the great help.

Adding the extract late will not affect the hops extracting? or do I need to add more or less hops to do it this way?

When I get my chest freezer and therma temp set back up what yeast is best for lagering temps? I was thinking White Labs 833 for the Oktoberfest. But not sure for the Vienna lager.

I am going to be brewing (for the first time) a Brewers Best Oktoberfest and Vienna Lager. What is the best yeast to ues for them. I don't have a fridge to use right now but do have a room that stays at about 50 Deg. F. I was going to lager it in my garage that is about 40 Deg this time of year...

I have been brewing for about 6 months now. I have a 10gal pot I use can i make two kits at one time? If not is it possible to steep the grains then do the hops boil and add the dme and lme at the end? Or does the dme and lme have to be mixed in for the hops to extract right?

40psi for 3 days then drop it down to 20psi for serving.

I bought a box of the syrup in a box and tryed mixing it with water like its supposed to be. But when I force carb it I cant get the carb level high enough. I carb it when the liquid is 40 deg F. and keep that as my serving temp to.:confused:
