I put one of my first taster bottles in the fridge yesterday morning. I'll be tryin one out tonight when I get home. I brewed this up 12th of December so it's taken an epic amount of patience to go this long without drinkin any!:mug:

That's great news! Though I can't believe this is even an issue! Calirado has plenty of issues but I'm glad this isn't one of them:mug:

I'd soak in a closed container just to keep dust, dog hair or anything else from floating into it.

The Weihanstephaner Weiss is way too sour for my taste. Paulaner Hefeweisen is by far my favorite, though to completely apreciate it you need to drink it in Germany while it's fresh. It's SOOO much better!:mug:

I started soaking my cubes in bourbon the same day I racked to secondary. After two weeks of secondary I then added my bourbon and oak cubes. Then I just left it alone for another 4 weeks.

I left mine in secondary for 6 weeks. I just bottled mine last week and just from the SG sample it tasted great! I plan on opening my first bottle around the end of March to see how it's coming along. The only thing I think I might do differently is use 16 oz of MM instead of only 10 oz. :mug:

Welcome to the obsession of homebrew!:mug:

If you're wanting to go with another kit try Northernbrewer's Bourbon Barrel Porter. It's the bomb diggity!:rockin:

I did the BB Robust Porter as well. I left it in the primary for 4 weeks then bottled. After 4 weeks in the bottle they tasted great! They are going on 8 weeks in the bottle and I only have 10 left but I haven't noticed much of a difference between 4 weeks and 8 weeks. As an expirement, try this...

I have this batch in my secondary right now. It's been in there for 2 months now and will be bottled next week. I soaked my cubes for about a week and a half in 10 oz of Maker's Mark then just dumped all of it in after being in the secondary for two weeks. This is one batch that I've been very...

I just did a BB Robust Porter about a month or so ago. That beer was outstanding!:rockin:

That's only from T-baggin your buddies brew while he's in the other room...:D

Welcome to WBT and the addiction/obsession! I just started brewing last September and have allready invested more than a grand into this! Thankfully I have a SWMBO that suports my expensive habits (fishing and brewing). Now just get your pipline going and enjoy the ride:mug:

Welcome to the addiction:mug: I'm lucky to have a SWMBO that loves the smell of brewday. When she's not brewing her ciders, she's helping me brew my beer. Now here's the real kicker; she actually encourages me to buy new toys...errr I mean equipment for brewing. She's a keeper! Her only flaw is...

What's the differance between 6 row and 2 row malts. I've looked and just can't seem to find the answer.
