Opened a bottle this morning, yea i know its early. Beer tastes great. The high amount of malt gives it a sweetness that pairs great with the cherry. The haze diminished quite a bit. There is still some in there, but a lot less then what you would find in something like a white ale. Hardly any...

I opened a bottle after 10 days. Taste is nice but the beer is still very hazy. Ill try another one this Friday And see if there is a change. I may have to accept the unfiltered look.

No issues really. I used a funnel to put the cherries and water into the carboy after they were pasteurized. No mold or anything grew on the inside top of the carboy where the cherry juice splashed. I thought it was going to be hard to get the cherries out of the carboy for cleaning but they...

I bottled last night. I got 44 bottles out of it. I had quite a bit of waste when separating the beer from the cherries. Gravity the same as last time. Ill crack one open next weekend and see how they are coming along.

Moved the beer to a tertiary carboy today. I am going to let it clear up for about 4 days before I bottle. Specific gravity today was 1.012 . Starting with 1.068 that gives me 7.4% ABV. However when I put the pasteurized cherries in, about half a gallon of water went with it so I am not sure how...

Cool ill be in St Louis the week of the 4th for work. Staying at the Lambert field hilton

Racked the beer onto the cherries yesterday. The specific gravity of the beer was 1.018. It had a pretty good malty taste to it. I pasteurized the cherries at 150F for about 20 minutes. If I do this again I think I may use frozen cherries, it cost me about $50 for 8lbs of fresh ones, but I have...

I just wanted to do straight cherries. Fermentation. Is very active so far. Yeast was getting in the bubbler, so I removed it and changed to a blow off hose. Its been about 36 hours and its still bubbiling very quickly.

I wanted to brew a cherry wheat for my girlfriend and stumbled across this "Berry Garcia" recipe from this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/cherry-wheat-316/index2.html I wasnt sure if it was referring to DME or LME I assumed it was LME because of it being 9 lbs of extract. Even...

Has anyone tried this recipe? I really would like to try it this weekend, but I am wondering about adding the whole fruit and water to the secondary. It seems that 8lbs of fruit and the water to cover it would add a signifigant amount of water to the beer possibly pushing the amount in the batch...

We should swap some beers some time. I joined the north texas home brewers association last saturday at the beer festival in Irving. It looks like most of the events are over on the Dallas side though..

Hi everyone. I've been reading the forums for a while but just now decided to join. I am a new home Brewer and am very interested in expanding this hobby. I've brewed one IPA which turned out great and I just put a Belgian ale in the secondary. I used extract kits for both. I'm looking to put...
