I brewed up a batch Friday night, all seemed to go well. expected to see bubbler on the primary (plastic ale pale) going crazy the next morning, but nothing. I decided if there was still nothing this morning I would pitch more yeast. So I opened the bucket and found a huge head of foam on top of...

If you used one of those prehopped can deals, like I did my first time with similar issues, my LHS told me to boil, I think it was, 2 cups of dextrose in a little water and add. I had no instructions telling me that bit of info, but it worked. Haven't used one of those kits since.

I used the 2.5 g pack of 3068 this time (2.5 Gal) and it is bubbling away just fine. As for the bottles, I made a 5 gal batch of origonal recipe and bottled half in wine bottles with corks (uncarbed), and half in 12 oz bottles (carbed). Tastes all the same to me. Although you may want to keep...

I bottled Thanksgiving week and gave some out Christmas week (to 4 people, a wine maker, one typical Bud drinker, one non drinker, and one vodka and cran drinker). Only the vodka and cran drinker didn't love it. I had sampled some every week to find when I might like it best, and didnt like it...

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/RecipeKits.aspx?SubCat=110 The honey bee ale was my second batch. Very easy and tasty.

I recommend getting a kit like these http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/RecipeKits.aspx?SubCat=110 I got the honey bee ale and loved it. The recipe is very easy to follow, and you could get used to boiling without fear. Also these kits would be very easy to modify. I got a carboy for a...

where from in wv?

Thanks for the reply. I think I will try it out. Also thanks for the catalog info, I would not have ever known about that.

Midwest supplies Honey Bee Ale? The description asks "Can't wait a year for mead?", is there really that much honey flavor? Actually I am not a huge hop fan, any other kits (other than can of syrup+dextrose+yeast=something similar to beer) you would recommend?

That is brain power at its best. Thanks alot.

wow thanks Yooper if i were to add concentrate to taste, how much would cause a signicant change so I could find out what my taste is?

Post fermentation is about my only option with this batch.

How exactly is "backsweetening" accomplished? I have 5 Gal. of Eds apfelwein going (about 2 weeks into it), and in an effort to try a few different things, I thought I would bottle about half as per the recipe and try something different with the other half. Unfortunately I have no idea what...

Thanks for the replies, the soap on my glass thing confuses me. I will use the same glass all night and only 1 will pour with any head at all. I also rinsed all the bottles the same way. I probably could have mixed the priming sugar a little better. As far as the recipe, it was a can, add water...

Before bottling I added 3/4 cup priming sugar to my bottling bucket. The I have drank about 3-10 a week since then. My question is, only 2 or 3 beers actually had a head of any kind. All of the bottles have hissed when i opened them, so I think I got the caps on tight enough. Any ideas why they...

I had a friend over last night and we beat it on medium (co-op). we had both crushed medium setting on GH 2. I can't seem to make the jump to hard though.

Got my first 5 gallons fermenting now 2971

I posted about drinking 2 after a week of aging, after 2 weeks I have had 3 now and maybe it's the beer talking but these aren't bad at all!!

thanks for all the help
