Awesome thanks man!

Anyone have any thoughts on adding coriander to this beer? Since the rasberry wheat crashed and burned I would like to get this a little fruity. Any info appreciated. I am brewing it right now so quick responses are appreciated

Perfect. Thanks for the quick response!

A little background: I brewed 2 batches of beer last weekend for a get together on the 24th of this month and after I pitched the yeast on the second batch getting ready to carry it to place to ferment it slipped from my hands hit the ground and shattered everywhere (pissed but just glad nothing...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the fast response. Makes me feel a lot better. @syvmn - Yea, its a really long time to be sitting on the trub. I did two batches week after week including this one. My first one (cream ale) was ruined. This one surprisingly was not. I fully...

So I just started kegging and I kegged by second beer (Pale Ale). Being new to kegging and in a rush when Kegging the beer, I realized late last night (while watching youtube videos) that I had jacked my keg configuration all up. I had put the long metal tube (that sucks the beer out of the...

Thanks Eu....... It wasn't exposed for any more than a few minutes so i hope your right! Cheers!

Im not sure if old faithful in the face and soaked tshirt was more funny, or me getting pissed, throwing the rubber stopper against the wall, and it bouncing back and hitting my wife in the arm. You talking about a tucked tail between the legs!!! I even had to go back in with the most pitiful...

I brewed the Surly pro Cynical series kit on Sunday, stuck it in the chamber, and have been checking it everyday. Yesterday it was fine but getting towards the airlock. Thought it would last another day but when I came home, it was spewing foam out the airlock. No biggie, rip it off and put a...

Thanks guys for the quick response. This is my first Bav. Hefe. so i was unsure of what to expect. Rev, you have been spot on with every answer to the questions i have asked in the past. Thanks again guys for the quick response! :mug:!

HBT, I brewed the bavarian hefeweizen kit from Northern Brewer a couple weeks ago and bottled it last night. The beer had a (as my wife called it) "wet dog smell" to the beer. This is the first brew i had to use a blow off tube for because the yeast just went to town. The...

Thanks NB77. I am amazed about this green beer tasting stuff. There are so many different tastes that relate to "green beer". Watery, bitter, tart, etc. I am still trying to wrap my head around to identify the differences.

Hey Fellas, I brewed the Blue Balls Belgium Wit recipe a few weeks back. When dumping the Bitter Orange peels in I accidently dumped a full OZ in verses the .75 the recipe called for. Because of efficiency issues, i probably only came out with 4 - 4.5 gallons on a 5.5 gallon recipe...

Thanks to everyone for your ideas and insight. Being new to all grain and brewing in general, I am just trying to gather and absorb as much knowledge as i can. You are right, I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be at times. I guess i need to relax and drink beer, bad or...
