Well racked into the secondary today. Looks and smells fantastic so all that worrying for nothing!

Wild Rose Brewery Wred Wheat

Thanks for the help guys. Didnt touch it, havent opened it, but you can tell from the outside that it is a going away.

I love Eugene, my brother and I are big ducks fans so we come down once every couple years. I tried to convince him to go there for school. He has to do his maters soon so I am hoping he may still go.

Thanks Floyd, self fufiling prophecy I guess. Worried about issue with beer, check beer often, cause issue with the beer. Haha :drunk:

Wow I am really surprised at the Diet Coke/Water responses. Not that some people will only drink water but just at the frequency of it! Keep it coming, this is really interesting.

Thanks guys, well I am getting some activity here. First time S-04 yeast so this could be normal. No strange colouring or anything but it isnt really bubbling as much as I was hoping. Been about 24 hours, doesnt smell bad. Not sure what an IPA with S-04 will be like. At least something is...

Never thought of that to be honest. Do you just dump it upside down and leave it for a while to 'drip' out?

I had read somewhere that you use pumpkin pie from a can, like what you would use in a pie. However no idea when you add it in or how. I am too new at it.

Have you tried better/proper yeast to begin with? You mention only using the coopers yeast. I would get a more proper yeast. Also how long are you having it sit? My IPA I am doing now I am slowing everything down. 2-3 weeks in primary and 2-3 weeks in secondary. That mixed with my better...

I dont even trust that they say that you dont NEED to rinse it under the 1oz per 3 Gal. I may be a little over the top with my cleaning but I bleach, let everything sit for 30 minutes, wipe down everything while there is still water in it with a paper towel. Then repeat with Star-San. I always...
