Hey all you brewing brothers! Its been a while. Anyone have an authentic all grain 10 gal dunkelweizen recipe.Im brewing this sunday.Thanks and will let you know the outcome,which im sure it will be awsome.:rockin:

Old chicago in peoria il,right on the river. About 30 beers on tap and a couple coolers of more fine beer. Dont even ask for a bud,cuz they dont carry it.Now thats my kind of bar!

I make weizens all the time.Where did ya read that?Sounds interesting.

Never fail starter recipe! Boil 1 quart water/w 3/4 cup malt extract for 15 minuites.Cool down to 75 degrees. Add yeast,then pour in sanitized growler w/airlock. Shake and wrap growler w/towel so no sunlight gets it. I usually get fast wort fermentations about 6 hours or less. hope this helps...

Curious to know why you put hop pellets in your yeast starter.Never heard of it! Do you notice a difference?

From my experience with oatmeal stouts which are my favorite,depending how you do it ,before i mash all my grains the oatmeal is mixed very well with the other grains.If you dont and just pour the oatmeal by itself in hot water you will instantly get oatmeal balls,which take time to break up and...

Have had my keggerator for over a year with the co2 bottle inside with no problems.Cant believe the gas has lasted so long.

Id like to know what kind of machine presses hops to plugs. Would love to have one for my back yard hops.They take up too much room.Definetly need a seperate freezer. I like putting my hops in hop bags.Makes for a cleaner brew and easy clean up! Anyone think that you loose hop oils and aroma...

I plan on making an pale ale this weekend.Plan on stuffing some warrior hops in.Anybody familiar with this hop? 17alpha I want this to be an all out assault on your brain.

Anyone out there in or around chicagoland have any,or know where I can get some corny kegs.Would prefer just to pick them up myself. I was wondering too about that pepsi bottling plant in munster indiana,by the three floyds brewing.mmm always a nice visit!:drunk:

I imagine there is nothing wrong with it as long as its a brand new one,and you did not use it for a lobster gumbo before that.MMM gumbo!

Ya! it will be fine.Hope its not too chewy though!What a joy owning those fermentors. No more plastic buckets w/ bacteria, or glass carboys.Awsome!!

Brewing just gets better and easier

Yesterday I Made my favorite oatmeal stout.Had a buddy helping me heating my mash/tunn preheat water,Mash,and sparge water.Will never do it again! :mad: I will do it myself for now on.I told him a dozen times how important temps are in this hobby but it just doesnt sink in his head.With the...

Ya! I thought about bringing a corny keg to party but was worried about shaking up the yeast on the bottom.Doesnt look good in the glass.Bottles sure are alot of work too!Still looking for some more corny kegs.Too many bottles in my house.

Never tried to make 2 batches from 1 vial of yeast! Think it would keep a week in fridge in same sterilized growler?HMMM

My first tun was a 5 gal cooler w/plastic false bottom worked ok,but efficiency was low no matter what i did. Im using a large square cooler w/copper tubing and works very good.I can use alot more grains ,and also doing 10 gal batches,but i cant get my efficiency above 70%. Im wondering if i...
