I've been looking to do a hoppier wheat as well. My first brew was Brewer's Best Pale Wheat and it's insanely easy to drink, but I'm looking for something a bit hoppier.

And I assure you my beer is not in some weird anti-gravity device, lol. Not sure why the pic came out upside down, I posted it directly through the HBT app.

If the pic worked you can see some of the cubes at the top. Like I said they're about 1/4" x 1/4", but they are pretty thin. Everything visually seems to be okay so far, and I'm getting a good bubble every 2 seconds in the blow off. A buddy of mine that's been brewing for a while said I should...

Good to know I was off base on that. Understanding how the process works will definitely help be a better brewer. It sounds like its more of a bacteria issue than anything. I'm gonna take a good look at it tonight, and if I can get some of the chips out without disturbing too much of it I'll...

It's 2.5oz of whiskey barrel chips.

Would a more coarse filter work? The wood chips are probably 1/4" x 1/4" and I wouldn't want to block any of the yeast or other stuff from making it back into fermentation.

The instructions in the kit said to leave the chips in contact with the beer for 3-4 weeks. Is the fermentation process speeding up the oaking process?

I put in primary last night about 5:00PM and it was already putting out a few bubbles this morning, so the yeast is active, but my concern is that the yeast is going to eat the wood chips instead of the sugars. Am I off base on that?

This is my 2nd brew, and I didn't read the instructions carefully enough. I added the Whiskey Barrel Chips before pitching the yeast, missed the part about waiting until after primary was done. How bad will this screw up the beer? I can live with it not adding the flavor as I have some other...
