Hey so im going to begin bottling in the next few days. Can i wash my bottles tonight and let them dry on the counter? I'm just worried about contamination. They would be sitting on the kitchen counter in my apartment for aprox. 48 hours.

Oh my God dude.... its like you jumped into my head and pulled out what i was thinking. And i hate and love you at the same time. On my third bottle now, amazing.

WOOOOOOOOOOOW So im really ****ing pissed. All my books and magazines had always told me to not drink the last inch of beer in my bottles because it was dead horrible yeast..... But today i said **** it and swirled it around and added it. ( My Extremly german boss told me if i didnt i was a...

unfortunately dontman, i already am completely obsessed.

Yes I was going for a pyramid haywire. The yeast is just overbearing which im guessing means its a green beer. Ill let it sit for a few more weeks and will keep the thread updated. Oh yes one more thing i noticed, normally the hefes i get are a bit cloudy, where as my brew has the right color...

Okay so I have come to the verdict that my beer is over carbonated, when you sip the beer, it is VERY fizzy when it hits the tongue. Also, after reading everything i could find about off flavors, im going to have to say the beer tastes yeasty. After the initial swallow, the flavor and smell seem...

Damn guys, I was really taken back by the dedication you all have to this website, and it means a lot that you all took the time to write be back with some great responses. I will research the bad taste and also keep this thread updated within the next few weeks. Hopefully my brew is green!

Well I couldn't drink it, as in my taste buds rejected it, hah. Since im such a noob at this, theres no way i can explain what the flavor is.. Do you think i should try another one see how its been 1 week since i tried the first one?

So i made a batch of hefenwizen and its in its bottling state right now. after being bottled for 7 days i took one of them and threw it in the frig overnight, the next day when i tried it it tasted pretty bad. It is now been 14 days since bottling, and im pretty scared to try another bottle. How...

So I'm making a Hefeweizen with a target O.G. of 1.047. Before i pitched the yeast it was at 1.050, It is now day 11 of fermentation and the OG is at 1.015. Doesn't that seem unusually low? .... On another note... why is this forum saying im spelling Hefeweizen wrong? :mad:

Yeah but i dont really feel like ruining 40$ worth of beer. It would kinda of be a huge dissappoint seeing how this is my first time.

I am fermenting in a 5 gallon carboy, and when i compare mine with other pictures, my carboy seems its at maybe 4 gallons? My question is, when the fermenting is complete, can i add water to add up to 5 gallons just before the bottling process? I am scared my brew will be way to strong when its...
