Wow can't believe how well the lemon worked! Ty for the suggestion. I'll definitely keep that in mind and share it with all my brewing buddies.

Ooo. Lemon. I will try that this weekend. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Thanks for all the replies. Haha I know heffes are yeasty beers. I was aiming for a franziskhaner clone. The light clove and banana flavor hints are there but its just drowned out by an insanely over powering yeast after taste. Was just wondering if bottle aging would help to mellow and reduce...

I'm still new to brewing and decided to try a Bavarian heffewiesen. Under suggestions of the guy at my lhbs I fermented between 72-76°. Sat in primary 10 days secondary 10 days bottle conditioned for going on week 3 now. I've read a lot lately and have discovered most likely my yeast taste...

I have a friend who works at the local shop. Knew I was into brewing and before I even finished my first batch had picked up a bench crapper and 200 caps for me for a nickel! (Employee discount haha) from the looks of it it had been stashed in a closet or basement for a while. Simple dusting and...

This is my first year growing. Mine aren't doing so great. Started them inside and the were growing about 6-10 inches a day. Transplanted them on Tuesday. Sadly did some damage to roots and bines. Pretty upset about that. Hoping they bounce back.

Ok! Good to know! Thank you. Was a wee bit worried before I put them in the ground next month.

Well my order from Great Lakes just came in (and they upgraded me to crowns yay) and I'll be growing indoors for a month or so then replanting. But my question is if I plant alongside my house will the roots potentially cause damage to my foundation or basement? I've read that the root system...

I apologize for the confusion with the link. I meant would that type of tap system work with a simple set up in the fridge? Id need something fairly low profile. The avanti system seems cool but the more I hear from you guys and read around, its just not worth the trouble or money.

Cant the 5L mini kegs be carbonated via priming solution and a rubber bung? If so, then wouldnt that work fine for the setup? Honestly not trying to loophole the wisdom and advice of my betters Im just purely curious. In regards to running a smaller keg in the kitchen fridge, would that be...

Well they sadly run about the $250 range. Probably more expensive than the keg setup. Mentioned the keg setup to wifey and she not too keen on loosing her fridge space. And if I were to get out the hobby I'd be happy to send it to a new home :)

Hello all. This is my first year beer brewing. Made some wines before aswell. So far I have made an Irish red that has already been bottled and is aging currently. Not bad for first try. Next onto a Hef! Looking to possibly start growing hops as well. Already love this site and all its...

Nobody has an opinion about this? Little disappointing. Thought they seemed pretty cool.

Not seeming that way. I'd put a post up about the avanti party pub which is for the mini kegs but my thread went unreplied to...

So Im new to the forum but have been trolling around for a couple weeks now and Ive come to love the website. Awesome people with a lot of knowledge. And so here I am asking those people for an opinion... Im fairly new to brewing and have already decided that bottling is a little bit of a...
