Here is what I have so far. I got my real homebrew kit about 2 weeks ago and have already put it to good use.
Of course like everyone else, I had to make some Apfelwein:
I have a second carboy and I can't decide whether or not to put it into secondary, or just try it in a few weeks once its done (suggestions?). The other carboy is just holding starsan for the time being unless I need it for something else.
That was set up on 5/15. I am talking to my girlfriend about modifying the next batch and doing half pear and half rasberry. I have a couple of Mr. Beer barrels so I will be using that next time. Also, I have a few of my old Mr. Beer Brews bottled and conditioning(not pictured, but I have about 60 +/- bottles).
Also, with the help of my girlfriend's brother, (He's been brewing AG for a year or two) we decided on making my first brew besides MRB a Whit. Here's the information about it:
OG 1.055
FG 1.014
IBU 11
ABV 5.3 %
SRM 3
Specifics
Boil Volume 6 gallons
Batch Size 5 gallons
Yeast 75% AA
Fermentables
% Weight Weight (lbs) Grain Gravity Points Color
100.0 % 6.00 Wheat Dry Malt Extract 55.2 3.2
6.00 55.2
Hops
% Wt Weight (oz) Hop Form AA% AAU Boil Time Utilization IBU
100.0 % 1.00 Hallertau Whole/Plug 3.1 3.1 60 0.239 11.1
It is already bubbling away and it has just been a week that I have had it in the bucket. The yeast (wet) was pitched overnight to try and getting it going, and there was a bit of activity when it came to add it to the wort. Anyways, I'll probably keep updating this, but I had the time today. :rockin:
