Thanks guys! I'll try with this 30% wheat and see how it turns out. Homebrewing is in the nascent stages here in India so getting grains and other raw materials is extremely tough. This was the best I could find. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Home Brew mobile app

I'm planning to brew some wheat beers. But my LHBS has only this wheat extract available. I know that the % of wheat is very less (30% wheat). Any opinion on using this and and the expected outcome? Thank you!

Hey Pagerage, the DME is perfect. Thank you for asking. Worked out amazingly well actually. Here is what I brewed so far with this DME: English Mild Pale Ale (with 75L steeping grains) Orange Ale Belgian Wit (along with wheat malt) All of these turned out great. English Mild Pale...

Final product! Tastes good, but has a strong bitter aftertaste. Guessing it was because I dumped the trub into the fermenter.

Great! Thanks guys. Will try it out and let you know how it turns out.

I didn't remove the trub from my wort for my first batch and it resulted in a little off flavoring. Ever since, I've always been removing it before siphon it to the fermenter.

Hi All! I've be looking at various recipes and I came across a one and I modified it to fit whatever ingredients I have right now. I'll have to wait for a month to get new supplies of any kind :(. Will this recipe be good to try, please? Specialty grains available: Crystal 75L & 90L & Vienna...

Peach puree! Will definitely try it for the next ale. Thank you!!

I have a packet of partially dried apricots at home (not sure if it is pasteurized). Can I pasteurize it by soaking it in some vodka and then adding it to secondary? Will this work? It's a little tough for me to get my hands on puree or extract. Thank you for the suggestions!

This is my second batch of beer and made a simple brew. I have it in the primary for 10 days now. I haven't taken any OG readings yet (bubble activity is ~5-7 bpm). I was wondering if I can turn this into a more interesting beer by racking it into the secondary and adding some fruits, flavors...

Yes it had been steady for 3 days. Thanks will bottle it.

Hi guys, finally it's been 2 weeks since it's been in the primary. I can still see a few bubbles popping up (around 6-8 per minute). Good time to bottle right? How much priming sugar should I add? I referred Palmers and here is what I came up with. Does this sound good? I'll be storing the...

What are some good specialty grains which I can buy that go well with dry Pale Malt Extract? I've brewed only one batch so far, English Pale Ale (using Crystal 90L, Crystal 75/80L). I've just started and into DME brewing only. All grain might take a few more batches of extract practice :)...

Any suggestions on the above please?

Completed my first brew and have kept it for fermentation. During the process I made a couple of mistakes and would like to know what effect it will have on the beer. 1) Due to non-availability of wort chiller and the temperature where I live being in the mid 80F I couldn't cool the wort to 70F...

Brewday guys! Wish me luck!!!

Ah, yeah makes so much sense. Thank you!

Thanks, invaluable info! I have a spare refrigerator, that'll take of this. Will fiddle around with the temp controls & get a feel of it before I ferment. Cheers!

Yup tried asking for samples. But it's just a handful and they wouldn't sell less. The supplier doesn't know but I was somehow able to find from other sources out a couple of microbreweries in India buy from them. So, I'm making a calculated guess and buying it. Will let you know how it turns...

Thanks very much Hector! Yes, I'll keep these points in mind while brewing. Would have never know these finer points...
