So I just kegged another batch (hefe) and for those that do the set it and forget it method of carbing how long do last before you give in for a taste. I normally make it about 3 days before I cave in. I'm just curious about you guys.

So back in December I brewed my first all grain beer (an Irish red). I thought it tasted pretty good and so did my wife and friends. So I thought I would enter it into a competition (The Minnesota Mashout). I mostly did this just so I could get it tasted and maybe some notes to improve upon next...

So I chose to brew an Irish red as my first all grain brew(see recipe below). Hit almost all my numbers give or take 1 degree and a point. I fermented at 64 for 7 days, cold crashed for 3, added gelatin waited 3 more days. I then racked to keg, and carbed at 12psi for 7 days, and tasted it...

If I wanted to add a good orange flavor to a wheat beer would it be a good idea to put some zest in each bottle prior to capping? Just a thought I had and wanted to see what you guys thought.

So 1 quick question. I tried my first brew today (strawberry ale extract /w grain kit) and it tasted good however It didnt have a strawberry taste at all. The kit came with a bottle of strawberry flavoring and I added 3 pounds of strawberries (both added in secoundary fermintation). I did try it...

Which one should I use?:confused:

How do you make it through this waiting period. My first brew is sitting in the secoundary about to be bottled in a couple days but the waiting is driving me crazy. How do you make it through?

I started my first brew a little bit ago and am woundering how I can tell if my yeast are still good prior to priming. I placed my wort in the primary one night went to bed and woke up to rapid fermintation; however, by that night it slowed down almost to a stop. By the next morning all airlock...
