Thanks for setting me straight guys

Could I carb and pasteurize these in mason jars? Or would it not carb? Or bible over during pasteurization? Just wondering. I feel it would look cool for gifts and I have a bunch.

How do you think this would turn out?

How would you go about it? Is it legal? What ABV do you think you could get it to?

No trouble man I didn't take it as a slam. I'm as new to this forum as I am to brewing and love criticism in both.:mug:

Since this thread is already started and seems to have some very knowledgable people in it, I have a question. How do you think Sanpellegrino orange, ( like the stuff in the cans with the foil on top) would go with a whit? If I'm going to use it should I add it in the secondary with my dry...

Biochem I know I'm a typical noob and I did the typical noob thing and just jumped into starting a new thread. I will use the search next time.

Chinook is out .5 oz cascade 20 min .5 oz citra 10 min Knocked my IBU to like 29.7 Sound right?

So the Grains and extracts are set because she bought the kit and that is what came in it. Also I like the idea of the late hopping. Should I shift all the hops till the last minute or keep the mt hood at a full boil and add the cascade & citra in the last 20 minutes. And you are right I just...

Ibu's is actually 58 not 158. I cut it down from about 79 because I was trying to keep that blue mooning flavor. I have wheat flakes. So I will defiantly add those in towards the end. SWMBO does enjoy a hoppy beer and I'm trying to expand her palate. If I were to cut down the ibu's which hops...
