Hey please let me know how it turns out ok? I don't mind orange flavor just don't want it to be too much. needs a nice balance.

Just placed the order for the kit. :) Very excited. It will be my second.

Just to clarify: I'm not trying to clone blue moon. The kit comes with Safale US-05 so that's what I'll use. Just thought I'd mix it up a little with sprinkling those dried peels i linked to in there. How much do you get by zesting 4 oranges? I mean i guess i could use fresh orange, although the...

http://www.mccormick.com/Gourmet/Spices-and-Flavors/Spices/Orange-Peel-Valencia I was thinking along the lines of this. Anyone know how much would be usually used? I'm thinking maybe an ounce or two but not sure.

Duly noted for next batch :)

What about dried orange peel like what they sell at the local brew store?

So I have my eye on an American Wheat Beer extract kit from Midwest Supply. It uses 6lbs Wheat Malt Syrup, 1oz. of Willamette at 60min, and 1oz. of Cascade at 10min. can I, should I add some Valencia Orange Peel to give a nod to something like Blue Moon? Is an American Wheat beer even like BM...

Personally I used star san for everything. After I dumped the star san out I would use a paper towel to wipe out the excess and the foam.

Ohh no see I don't like hoppy beers so I don't want a beer that's too high in IBU's.

Mine had the same oil slick or whatever as in the second one. It's in bottles now and doing fine. Mine was an extract with some steeped grains.

Wow thanks for showing me these kits. I might order one right away. I'm only interested in the Brown Ale or the American Wheat. I currently have a Pale Ale in bottles so I wanna change it up. Any ideas on the IBU's on those two beers? I figure they're pretty low. Also: Let's say I brew the Brown...

Is it ok or not beer snobbish to look down on a beer instead of the people who drink them? :)

Hey you bottled your first brew 1 day before my first brew. :) I won't touch mine yet for a while though. I do check the bottles regularly, and they are almost perfectly cleared up. All the sediment has settled to the bottom. If yours hasnt give it more time. Once you stop getting the particles...

Bottled water is filtered, not sterile. Bottled water most times is taken from local city water wherever the plant is, and then they do magic filtering to remove taste. If you want to take no risks you should boil your water, bottled or not. Plus it removes chlorine.

So you just froze the water in bottles, sanitizes the bottles, threw them in to chill the liquid and then removed the bottles right? Because sanitizing the bottles does nothing if you actually mix the water in to your beer. If you actually mixed the water in with the beer you should have boiled...

You said you added cold spring water. You mean it was boiled and then cooled? One thing I also did for my first brew recently was add campden tablets. Cheap enough and it helps get rid of chlorine. They say it makes a difference.

This kid apparently skipped his English classes. Sheesh I had to re-read a few parts just for it to make sense. These are college level students? Just proves what a waste of money college is. They can't even form coherent sentences.

Personally I wouldn't drink anything that produces plastic lol. Have you googled stuff? I don't think any of this qualifies as beer tbh so maybe this isn't the right forum, but there are people who know just about everything on here. Good luck Edit: So I googled fermented coffee. Seems to be...

You know what even though I work alone now, after reading all these posts I guess I'll rant and rave about my old job. It was working for the Army as contract mechanics with Sikorsky up in Ft. Belvoir in DC. I literally don't know where to start with this list. lol I guess lets talk about my...
