Update guys, Specific gravety was at 1.014-1.015 im assuming everything went fine. Im going to rack into my secondary. Thanks for your help guys.

For a American wheat style bear what kind of final gravity could i expect? I know this is a very broad question, but any insight will help. I brewed up a kid of of an American wheat bear that i recivied from my local brew shop thursday, and left it at my bothers house to ferment. I came back...

very impressive.......

Yes, and the beer has been stored in a 70 degree + area

3 weeks 2 days..........

The beer taste's fine........... The problem is theres no carbination. I added the priming sugar to the bottling bucket as i transfered the beer, however i didn't stir everything up Is there anyway to save the brew? (add carbination)

bump anyone?

So my first brew is a failure unfortunatly......... :( well on a bright note i think i know what i did wrong. As far as carbination it tastes great, but there is no carbination. When i was priming the beer i added the sugar and water mixture then began to pour the beer from the priming bucket...

Im into watching it lol Do you actully fight?

So i poped my first beer from my first batch of homebrew today. Everything tasted great except there was basically no carbination at all basically. The beer has been sitting in bottles for 6 days now. Is this to early to expect any carbination, or is there a chance i messed things up when i...

Im assuming the vodka kills any germs, so if it spills into the brew its not a big deal?

So i transfered my brew to the secondary. I think it's good to go so far. Didn't smell funky, it smelt like beer. Didn't taste to bad either, it resembeled the newcastle it was supposed to clone. Tasted a little bit sour, im guessing because it's still premature. The only mistake i made that...

Im going to transfer my first brew into my secondary today. Im about paranoid about infection. When i first cooled my wort i stuck my hands in the pot to get the thermometer a few times so i think i might allready be on the wrong track :( Anyhow i have some bleach, and some 5 star sanatizer...

Thanks for the reply, as far as sanatizing the siphion and the secondary is soaking them in bleach solution then rinsing them a adaquate plan for those as well? How important is using the hydrometer?

I've been reading john palmers "how to brew" book, and he recomends for beginners to by pass the secondary. What do all you vets out there think? On this sunday my batch will have been in the fermenter for 2 weeks and i am trying to decide if i should put it into the secondary, or just go...

Oh yea, mistake number 4 lol. I put the wort into the bucket with no spickit, so it's in the bucket with just the lid. So i won't be able to try to taste any untill i lift the lid to put the dextrose in for bottling. How long should i wait before i open it up for bottling?

Here's a long list of mistakes that i made during my first brew. Im wondering if it's gonna be drinkable. 1) didn't continuesly stir the wort at first (stired it maybe once a min or so) 2) took forever to actully get the wort to a boil 3) took forever to cool the wort (proubly close to a...

bump, help anyone?

As i brewed up the wort i stirred it about every min or so. There was a slight burnt smell comming from the wort. Is this normal, or did i screw up?
