I'm sorry, My post wasn't to suggest that I had done a scientific analysis of all the reason my yeast was going crazy, or that that was the best case. It was simply an observation. That having been said, The specific gravities for both beers have reached 1.020 and I brewed on Monday. Pretty...

This is interesting because I just did two batches with wyeast and I smacked them 3 full days before and left them at 70 degrees. (I had other reasons for doing this as my kits sat in UPS limbo for a full 10 days before getting to me and before I brewed I wanted to make sure they were good so I...

I would say you definitely don't have to be a hop head. I enjoy a good balanced beer more than one someone dumped a basket of hops into the pot to prove something. There's a little bit more to it then cramming a bunch of hops in and calling it great because you can literally taste nothing...

Well said my friend and probably better than I could have. I like the conclusion, yep far from "superior". Here's a thought, some of the members on this forum seem to be AB or big beer employees the way they rush to defend what I think is at best an unfair system, and portrayed fairly...

20% is worth a try next time around. I think I'm going to name it Sony Wheat this time! TV screen is ok BTW

Thanks all for the advice and comments it's interesting that beer fermented so incredibly violently that it blew the airlock of the carboy. I woke up this morning and beer was everything everywhere and bubbles we're going all the way to top of the carboy. When it blew the airlock it splattered...

How much corn sugar +- is good? Is DME lower risk as far as changing flavor? Asking because I really don't know! Thanks for the help.

Not on sheet but it was on the box 1.049 so I bumped it up .011

Finished boil, cooled pitched yeast. O.G. came out at 1.060. Northern doesn't say on there sheet what is expected to be. Sound right to anyone (or not).

Cool going to give it a try!!!

Hi there, Doing Northern's Bavarian Hefeweizen and would like to kick it up a notch. Would there be any harm in adding an extra 1.5 lbs of Golden Light DME, which I just happen to have lying around? How about adding the extra 1.5 lbs that I have left after that to the Big Honkin Stout...

Hi all, First off sorry for postin my intro in the how did you find us sticky. Here it is again. I have consulted this site a bunch of times, apparently became a member a while ago, but rudely did not say whaz up! I am a moderately experienced brewer having done 30 plus batches, mostly...

Hi all, I have consulted this site a bunch of times, apparently became a member a while ago, but rudely did not say whaz up! I am a moderately experienced brewer having done 30 plus batches, mostly kits. Recently built a keggle and modified a short 16 gallon keggorator to accommodate two...
