    haze in fruit beer

    Although I have done several fruit beers, I have never used strawberries. That being said, my technique is to rack onto the fruit in the secondary leave it for 2 weeks and then rack into a third carboy off the fruit for another week then keg. I have never had fruit haze this way, but always...

    Fruit Beer Lemon-Lime Hefe Weizen

    Since I am drinking a pint of this outstanding brew right now, I thought that I would add that I stuck to the recipe with the exception of the yeast. I would of had to special order it from both of my LHBS, so I went with Safbrew WB-06. I was a little worried when I first sampled after kegging...

    Aug 27th Plainfield, IL Midwest Brewers Festival

    Two different counties and two different towns, Plainfield was worried about a big drunk fest! Although Plainfield has grown they still have a small town mindset. Do yourself a favor and come next year, it should only get better!

    Free (for most) Newcastle Glass.

    I also received mine this week, Monday 12/27. They weren't kidding about the 11 weeks, considering it was shipped from Wisconsin and I live in Illinois. The box was in good condition, so I do not think it was lost in the mail!

    raspberry ale

    I do fruit beers a lot and I always have done what Jami has recommended, a can of Oregon puree in the secondary. My beers have always come out really good! I leave it on the puree for 2 weeks and then rack again to another carboy to clear.

    New Homebrew Club in the Naperville / Plainfield IL Area

    I PM'd the recipe to you. I guess next meeting we are going to have to say who is who on this board at the meeting. The only reason I figured out it was Ed was because he uses his name. :p

    Nottingham Yeast

    Just to up-date my earlier post, I received 3 packets of Notty for the 1 that I mailed back to them after I had no fermentation and holes in the packet. It was also a month to the day after I mailed it to them that I got the new yeast. I noticed that the packet's lot # and dates are now ink...

    First AG batch tomorrow.

    If you haven't already read Bobby M's All Grain instructions. It really helped me out and I still use the basics that he describes. http://www.suebob.com/brew/allgrain.htm Take your time it will take longer than extract, but have fun and maybe a couple of pints along the way! Cheers
