before I used the wheat and caramel grain as a steep before I added the extract. How should I use it in a mash? just add the caramel to the mash? peace -gw

I've got this receipt for a wheat beer and I'd like to convert it to an all grain receipt. Any ideas? thanks! Ingredients: 3 lb Wheat dry malt extract (55% wheat 45% barley) 3 lb Wheat liquid malt extract (55% wheat 45% barley Appox. 1.25 oz Hallertau Hops Wyeast 1010 2...

I don't have a dishwasher, so I wash all of my bottles by hand, but once that part is done, the rest is easy. I line all my bottles up in rows of 5 so they form a 5X10 rectangle if you will, then i get a couple tool boxes and set my bottling bucket on top (so it higher than the bottles). once...

yeah, I think I saw a picture of someone doing that here at HBT. I thought that was a pretty clever idea. If I ever do upgrade, I'll probably go ahead and get that peice and just make one big loop of my braid. peace -gw

The instructions I had called for a 2 gallon cooler, but I couldn't find one so I went with a 5 gallon? Should I have still gone bigger? Also I paid about $45 for it all total including the cooler and I bought all my parts at lowes. As for the white thing on the end of the braid, that's thread...

Hey everyone, just built this today. it took a while to find everything, and I also locked my keys in the car in the process . Anyways, how does it look? I thought it came out pretty good. peace -gw

i've got a 6.5 gallon fermentation bucket, and I don't think this calls for secondary, just 14 days in primary (if I'm correct in reading the instructions) if this was the case, should I boil just the mashed wort, or go ahead and get it right up to 5 gallons? I would think I would just boil the...
