Ok, so here's my latest update: So the last beer "Maybe May" is bottled and it didn't budge in the end. So that's ok, it seems dark and sweet, but we'll see how it conditions for a few months. I'm going to try one to check carb levels this weekend, it's in the fridge already. Anyone that's...

Thanks for the input! Volume was 2.5 gallons, and I realized I didn't notate above it was actually 2 packs of Saf-05 initially which may have been how I got to 1.023. I had to move the fermentor to open it up- was very careful- and tossed in the well bloated smack pack of wy4021. I will...

Thought I'd come back to this. I brewed another batch after the last ones, used whatever I had laying around. Unfortunately, I lost my docs on how I made it. I called it, "ugh..." The only notes I have are on the labels, Brewed 4/17/15, bottled, 6/1/15. It's been in a closet at nice temps...

Wow, all three turned out great! For those of you who thought it sounded frantic, it was written really fast and when I reread it I could see that in the post totally. When I brew I actually take a bit more time. Although when the beer was leaking it was frantic I admit. So the DD that I...

Update: So after initial fermentation of 3 weeks, bottle conditioned for two- threw two in the fridge for a day and tried them- and it was well- not so good. After the third week in the closet though, I put 4 more in the fridge with the plan to cold condition them another couple weeks. Well, I...

Thanks for the reply! Stauffbier, so those last couple bottled don't get any time really to vent air? Do your caps flutter as well? The head retention makes sense too-

I'm on my 2nd Mr. Beer brew. The Cold Morning Maple Wheat. I fermented for three weeks, then bottled using Priming caps (5 per bottle). I tried one after two weeks and there was good carb, but some odd flavor- kind of sharp chemical tasting at first but not bad... so I let the bottles sit in...

Total Noob here- First batch I made was mediocre. Mr. Beer Pale ale- Followed instructions and sanitized to the T's. Now My second batch, something strange has happened. I switched recipies - Now in bottles is the "Cold Morning Maple Wheat": The stats for this beer are on the page-...
