5260 + 5 Thunderworm's American Wheat = 5265

Selection consultant for a talent management firm. PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I think I am the only person in this thread with a background in psychology.

Usually 4 total during the week (Sunday-Thursday). and then 2-4 on Fridays and Saturdays unless I am going out somewhere and then that # can climb to 12-15 on the weekends :) I too am more of a social drinker, but do love a good beer, even by myself.

This is exactly what I plan on doing tonight. How long does it take you to get to pitching temp with this method?

That answers my question perfectly. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I have learned a ton on this forum and I really want to thank all of the veteran Homebrewers for helping all of the noobs like me out. I am going to attempt my first partial mash using the DeathBrewer BIAB technique tonight. I am going to be using 6lbs of grain and filling in...

The also have a Hofbrauhaus in Pittsburgh that brews Hofbrau beer. A lot of fun to go to on the weekends. http://www.hofbrauhauspittsburgh.com/

Waiting on a few ingredients to get here. UPS says they should be delivered tomorrow. Plan on doing my first partial mash with 6lbs of grain and 2.75 lbs of DME tomorrow. I am trying Thunderworm's American Wheat recipe, but I will be using White Labs 320 American Wheat Yeast instead of the...

This looks like an amazing idea and a perfect in-between step for me, moving from extract. I have one question and it may be really stupid, but I have only brewed 2 extract kits before. My question is... How do you make up for boil off with water? I noticed you mentioned 2-3 gallons for the...

5 gallons Oktoberfest 5 gallons India Pale Ale 31,213+5 in post above that +10 31,228

Update: After not seeing any signs of fermentation for 8 days I broke down, opened the bucket and did a hydrometer reading. the gravity was around 1.014. So I took it out and am doing a 2 day diacytal rest like most of you have recommended. I can not believe I saw absolutely no signs of...

It was 2 beers. Dale's Pale Ale was the first hoppy beer I tried where I thought hmmm maybe I can drink these. Then the beer that made me realize I really do like hoppy Ales and IPAs was Bell's Two Hearted.

Waiting for my 1st homebrew to ferment. I am drinking Hoptical Illusion from Blue Point Brewing Comp. Have to say I was expecting something heavier and hoppier for the name and ABV. It is interesting though, goes down smooth like a lager or pilsner, but has the after taste of a light IPA...

I didn't pitch the yeast until the wort was 60 degrees and all the water I added to the wort was a little under 60 degrees, so I figured keeping it at 55 would not really shock the yeast, but from now on I will definitely use your method.

thanks a lot. To be completely honest I didn't look at the packet of yeast, so I couldn't tell you what type of yeast it was. The directions just say 1 sachet of yeast. It was specified as a lager yeast though. It was also a little larger. I would be willing to bet it was at least 11.5 grams.

I only had 1 packet with the kit. Should I go buy another packet?

thanks a lot. trying not to freak out, I have read that cold lagers can take 4 days to start fermenting, but thought I would see a little something after 3 days. I will definitely keep you updated. Should I rock the primary at all? I have read sometimes that can help to activate the yeast...

I made the unfortunate decision of starting with an Oktoberfest lager for my first homebrew. I also did not read this forum before making it. I used the brewer's best German Oktoberfest kit and only pitched one packet of dry yeast. The instructions said to just dump the yeast into the wort and...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been drinking beer since 2000, but didn't really try good beer until about 3 years ago. I grew up in St. Louis, so if you didn't drink bud or bud light you were considered an outcast. I moved to Orlando for grad school and became friends with a colleague...
