i made a thread a couple days ago asking about making a spiced dunkel. not to much feedback. someone suggested to research amounts used in christmas/holdiay ales and adjust as needed. maybe we can come up with something here together.

Anyone ever add spices to a Dunkelweizen? Was thinking cinnamon, nutmeg, or something? Thoughts....

i did my own recipe as well, my hop schedule. 60 mins 0.5oz Simcoe pellet 60 mins 0.5oz Cascade pellet 30 mins 0.5oz Cascade pellet 15 mins 0.25oz Simcoe pellet 5 mins 0.25oz Simcoe pellet dry...

thanks guys, i hear yah ctown. see how this turns out and tweak for later.

Simple question. Made a pale ale. Primary for 3 weeks, secondary and dry hop for 7-10 days sound good? Using 1oz of simcoe pellet. Thanks a bunch.

if you are worried about it ask your LHBS if they will allow you to swamp out ingredients from the kit to fresh. Thats what the one i go to allows with no additional cost if using same amount/type.

fyi, ive put like 60 caps in a bowl with starsan, put the extra back in the bag with the rest, apparently didnt completely let them dry and they all rusted in the bag.

just stick all mine in a cooler full of hot water, close lid over 24 hours. water is still warm and u'll find labels floating on the top. hoegaarden's come off real easy and the bottles look nice.

i did the same thing my first batch, seemed like the longer i kept them in the fridge the less "over carb" they were. i put 2 in the fridge for 24 hours=over carb. put 2 in for 5 days=perfect.

i just got a size 5 1/2 rubber stopper from the HBS and stick it in there when bottling.

subb'd for later

buy a quality wheat or anything belgian in that matter and you'll find yeast. love swirling the last 1/8 of a bottle to create the head. but ales and lagers, yah im in aww as well

got it, thanks alot everyone, really. i will post the results and with final recipe. in due time.

thank you so much!! Should i just cut out the 2 row? if i did is there anything i should add?

rack to secondary and dry hop there for 5-7?

Hello all!! This will be my 3rd brew 1st non-kit so im a little nervous/lost. Want to do a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone since i love pale ales and want to venture out of the kits, try to expand my knowledge. This is what im looking at so far - any and all help will be much appreciated 6lbs...

just made my second brew as well, did the snow thing but filled my sink with it(considering there is plenty of it here haha). I was paranoid to get any in. I think bacteria dies at 150F, did it fall in early into the cool or late? Im completely new to this too but i the only thing i can...

thanks guys, ill stick to that. How do you suggest taking the FG if i dont have anything to put it in? Is it cool to just sanitize and drop it in the fermenter? It doesnt have to be mix up or anything does it? Sorry if all this sounds stupid..... thanks again.

For my 2nd brew i went with Brewers Best Imperial Blonde. Brewed last saturday (30Jan11) So far so good, got alot of bubbling within 12 hours of racking, 68 per min and now down to 7 per min. Ive read some guys will just leave it alone for 3 weeks, check the gravity and bottle. Good idea or...
