Hello all, my wife wants to add blueberrys to a Blue Moon Clone. Is it better to do in a secondary or can the same flavor be added by just using the primary. Also, she does not want the flavor to be too strong, just a nice hint. She had one from the local beer joint and loved it. Any ideas on...

I had the same issue. My 1st batch was the same kit as you and brewed @76 to 78 deg. I had it in water since the temp her in PA was like 160 for what seemed like forever. The beer was 1 week in the bucket 1 week in the BB and bottled on Sunday. We tried it tonight and it was off the hook good!

:cross: Wow! My SWMBO and I tasted our first batch tonight. It is an American Cream Ale that has 2 weeks in the bucket and only 4 days in the bottle. I wanted to test the level of carb, so I stuck one in the freezer for 30 min to test. That went from 1 beer to quick get the ice so we can cool a...

Captain, I think you are right about the KISS approach. He said I will certainly make beer and to really focus on the clean factor. He also said that if it did not turn out he would replace the kit for free. He wants all to have a positive 1st time. He did say to use the Hydro on the next try...

I was very careful not to bring along the trub and the beer looks like apple cider now. How clear can I expect this to get? I was told to leave it in the BB for a week than...

It funny, when I was in school Yeungling and Rolling Rock were the cheap party beer that you always had at keggers. Then in the 90's they became cool and the price went through the roof. Called them Green Grenades and Ying Yang ..or just moose p**s. Next thing you know Iron City will be called...

triethylborane, I live in Pa not NJ, sorry. Maru, I have a wing capper, was talked out of a bench top @ the local brew store said it was not needed. If I can gap with soda and give a good shake with no leakes is ok for twistys or should I just pitch and buy new bottles. 4 cases of new bottles is...

Hi all, I have been lurking for a few weeks and gathered a ton of great info. I bought a kit las Friday and brewed a batch of American Cream Ale on Friday. It didi not start to bubb after 24 hours so the store said to try their yeast and it took off like crazy after 3 hours. Myt question is...
