Never made this before. In fact, I've never made a cider before, so we'll see. I've heard ciders can take awhile to come to flavor, so I'm hoping around Christmas it will be good to go.

White Labs American Hefeweizen. Transferred to secondary today, looks good. I'll bottle in a week. I'll let you know how it tastes.

If you have a 6-7 gallon aluminum kettle, go ahead and use it. The effects from alluminum are nill, certainly less than the troubles of having to boil two brew kettles. JMO.

I've heard a year if sealed and put in closed tupperware. However, I figure I usually use a my grains in a brew within a few months.

Welcome to the addiction!! Brewing is barrels of fun! :D

What type of beer is it? Look at the suggested original gravity (probably a range) of the style you made. If you now know your final gravity, you will be able to figure pretty close to you % alcohol. Of course it won't be exact because you didn't have your original gravity. Or a less...

Desertbrew, What if you came up the top of the fridge and drilled through the top of the counter for a tower tap?

The hefeweizen I brewed on Wednesday has had a very active fermentation, in fact it filled the airlock twice on thursday. After the second time I attached a 3' blow off tube. I should have done this from the start, as I had a hefe earlier this summer with a very volatile fermentation.

Most liquor stores will have a tap you can rent. Tap it and let them drain. As Rhoobarb said take them to a fab/machine shop to cut the tops off. If you know a welder they can cut them off with a laser torch, very clean edges.

Sam75, you may want to keep the brew time and add the grain bill when you and Orrelse brew together. However, Orrelse posted at 9:15pm, so he may have been half way into a case of homebrew. Hence, addition and subtraction become a little fuzzy. :D (whining) You guys get all the cool stuff...

I don't think there would be an off flavor from the aluminum. They put beer/soda in aluminum cans. Also from a physical standpoint, you would probably get cirhossis(sp?) of the liver from all the beer you'd have to drink before you suffered any ill effects from aluminum. JMO. However, I do...

I used it to formulate an a hefeweizen. What a great program! I hit the numbers perfectly. The true test will be the taste test in a few weeks, but Promash is definitely worth it, and I look forward to improving my brewing with the package.

My first attempt at a cider. I usually brew beer, but thought I would throw this together and let it age 'till October. Ingredients: * 2 to 2-1/2 gallons, fresh cider * 1 gallon, water * 1 pound, M&F Light DME (unhopped) * 2 cups, Cane Sugar * 1/2 cup, Brown...

What's the difference between Guiness drought and stout? Is one preferrable for making a nice Black and Tan? The Guiness Drought mixed with my homebrew India Pale Ale into 1 dark beer...I drank it anyway, but I didn't have the 2 layers. I used a guiness spoon.

Hey, Orrelse. The Clone Brews book calls for a 90 minute boils on all recipes. Other books I've read say that 60 minute boils will suffice. Are there advantages to longer boils. As always, Thanks! ;)

Hey, Jeff...I enjoyed listening to your programs. Good take on the Budweiser Select, rice water. How do I do the podcasts? Is it something I can load on my iPod for later listening?
