    Fruit Beer SWMBO's Lemon WIT

    Hmm I will have to search when I get to my home PC this evening, but it was a nice light straw color. I think the only pic I would have is a sample for grav reading right out of the fermenter would give you a good idea though.

    BIAB or Partial Mash

    Is my Stout safe to bottle?

    If gravity is stable for at least a few days then you are good to bottle.

    San Diego craft brewers

    Partial boil question

    Try beersmith2 this is what I use and it works pretty well I think they offer a trial so you can test it out. It is well worth the money IMO For extract brews I did half of extra at beginning and the rest at flame out. And if using dme and lme use dme beginning and lme at end. Beersmith2 even...

    Partial boil question

    2.5 gallons is plenty of water for an extract batch with steeping grains. Even topping up to 5 gallons. Plenty of great beers made that way. That was where myself and probably a lot of us started. Just need to find a recipe and have it scaled to 4 gallons most online kits and recipes are for...
