    Easier way of making fruit beer?

    I looked up some threads on how to make fruity beers, specifically raspberry. It seems that a lot of people thought that using real fruit was difficult because you either have to leave more beer on the bottom to avoid the pieces of raspberry or find some sort of way to strain it. I boiled the...

    Fruity wheat beer...

    I wanted to make a fruity beer(uh, you know, for my girlfriend...) and they didn't have the light LME the recipe called for at my brew store. I bought a half light, half wheat mix, which I guess makes this a wheat beer. Is there any fruit that doesn't go well with wheat beers? I was originally...

    My defunct almost lager.

    Well I'm relieved that this will work, my last batch was one of those ready made kits that I got for christmas and it didn't carbonate very well either and I am still not sure why...Oh yeah, what is resuspending?

    My defunct almost lager.

    I made some lager and was all set for refrigeration in my mini fridge, when I found out that you are supposed to refrigerate in the carboy (as opposed to after bottling). My carboy didn't fit in the fridge so I just decided to refrigerate after bottling anyways. After two weeks of being in the...

    when to start refrigerating lager

    Sorry, I was very tired when I wrote the post. I made a pale ale recipe but used lager yeast. I made it Monday last week and it stopped fermenting after 6 or 7 days and it's actually still sitting in primary, so I think I'll transfer it tonight...Anyways, does it only matter that at some point I...

    when to start refrigerating lager

    I just wasn't sure...I have some Pale Ale in primary, is it possible to wait too long before lagering? It's been in primary for 5 days and I was going to go to secondary for a couple of weeks. Is that fine and then I just refrigerate after bottling or should I hurry it up before I mess up my lager?

    When to add bittering hops?

    This might seem a little silly, but I just noticed that the two books I have suggest different times to add bittering hops...I just want an opinion on which way most people think is better. Do you let the water come to a boil, add the LME and DME and then wait for the water to BOIL AGAIN before...

    Hop preference poll

    I just find pellets are very convient no hassles, no mess. But I don't even know what a plug is...:drunk: Someone want to explain that?

    Adding Malt Extract after boil

    I have always read that you remove the grains before it boils, then wait for it to boil, then add the LME and or DME. Anyone want to comment on that? Cause if I am doing something to the taste by doing this, I should like to know what.

    Priming sugar.

    According to your measuring thing on the "tasty brew" website, I've been using almost double the priming sugar I should be. Cool site, thanks.

    Priming sugar.

    I wonder if I am using too much priming sugar. For a 5 gallon batch I am using 5oz of sugar to prime. First of all, and this may seem stupid but are we talking 5oz of weight? Using the metric system I was not aware that oz. was weight because I have this paper that shows how to convert oz. to...

    Major Score

    That is pretty neat. I have one that looks like that but for corking wine bottles. I wonder if I could modify it for beer capping?

    Thermometers

    I was just judging by eye for steeping temperatures until my last batch. My girlfriends mom has this great candy thermometer that goes from like 50 to whatever I need. Threw me off the first time though, I was waiting for the wort to boil again after I added the LME and the thermometer was at...
