I am interested in this juniper idea and I think some cherries would be cool. But cherries and juniper is that too much? I'm leaning towards cherries and just the hint of cinnamon, or am I trying to create something that should not exist...

So I've ten gallons of a pale ale happily fermenting away in two 5 gallon batchs, and i woke up today with the bright idea to Christmas one up. Maybe some fruit and spices. Here is the grain bill split for a 5 gallon batch 9 lbs of 2 row pale 1.5 vienna .5 crystal 10 25 Ibu's from...

Barley water is right if your adding water your adding oxygen and thats bad news, I wouldn't do it.

I had the same thing happen with that same yeast a month ago, it didn't look like anything had happened, it smelled fine tasted fine, so I decanted the beer off and fed it some more wort and it went nuts. two days later I brewed with it. I just finished a glass of the the hefe I made with it...

Beer, yeasty unhopped beer. Also try feeding it some more wort maybe you missed fermentation, sometimes its real fast. I had a white labs hefe yeast do the same to me I fed it some more the next day it went off so I dumped it in and its one of the best yeasts I've used strong and fast, I top...

Taste it, then you'll know.

For me kegging is the only way to go. Bottling is such a b!tch system or no system, its easy to get an infection or too much oxygen and all those bottles need to be cleaned and stored. It took the fun out of brewing (well not totally) but kegging, come on now I start the siphon and walk away...

I keg both Hefe's and Wit's I think the longest I've had them on tap is 2 maybe 3 weeks. I did notice them both settle out a little bit you could tell more in flavor than look, you know the taste like a hoe-garden:cross: that you didn't swirl to get that yeast in the glass. I had a Wit fall...

I would definitely buy or make yourself a socket for those posts. I was using vice grips for a while and its just too stressful worrying about snapping off those pins and not to mention a pain in the a$$. I bought mine from Austin Homebrew I think it was twenty dollars, some of the best money...

400 should make a good wit, it must have made an interesting Hefe, how was that? If you like wits try wyeast forbidden fruit(its stinks when fermenting) but it make a damn good Wit

I brewed something similar a couple of weeks ago and it ended up a little low like yours. I left it alone, I don't like playing with things after the fact. Anyway it turned out great. Tasted amazing, great head retention, and great lacing. Maybe leave it alone with beer there is always a...

I used a razor blade to get under them and free them up. For the dip tube I put my arm in the keg grabbed the tube and pulled up while twisting, tight fit. But I'm pin lock although I can't see that being any difference here.

Oh Man I just made that but I used Wyeast Forbidden Fruit(which stinks as it ferments). It turned out great you are gonna love it!!! I let mine sit at 66 for 3 weeks, kegged it and killed it:mug:

Bigger is always better, with that said this hobby will take every dime out of your wallet if you let it. Brewing beer can be more expensive than smoking crack. Some of these brewers are filthy rich, I'm just filthy and make use of what I have. If you got a 7 gallon great, keep an eye on it...

I love Apfelwein!!! But if you don't know when to stop you shouldn't start with this stuff. After a couple of glasses my wife is calling it elfinwine, the neighbor is calling it elfjuice. In their defense we live on top of a snowy mountain where elves do make wine and I usually end up under a...

Mine Lies... in the box I bought it in, I gotta start using that thing.

Don't let that Krausen push you around!!! I've had Hefe's that blow off like crazy and Hefe's that don't, but they have all been delicious. Every brews a little different, conditions change(Temp, barometric pressure, efficiency, drunkness while brewing). Beers like anything else, Keep clean...

I think we should have a sticky or thread dedicated to just this. The internet has alot of crooks with web sites and bums that will rip you off. This is a big forum with alot of members, we should use our numbers to keep retailers in line. Proper service and proper products or you get on this...
