Coopers Canadian Blonde About to brew a Belgian Wheat Beer with orange peel and coriander. :mug: Update: The Belgian Wheat Beer is in the fermenter and bubbling away !

Should I put them in a muslin bag or just throw them in ? Also.... Should I grind the coriander or just put it in as is... Muslin bag or no ? 1 more... Do I leave the coriander and orange peel in for the entire fermentation ?

I am about to start my second brew and I have a couple of questions. My plan is to make the following. "Belgian Wheat" 5 gallon batch Coopers Wheat Extract (LME) 3.75 lbs. Additional 2.0 lbs. Light Malt Extract from local brew shop. (LME) Yeast: Safbrew WB-06 Additions: 1 oz...

The thing is that I am using a fermenting bucket so I cannot see what is going on in there. I understand that Airlock activity is not the tell all but it's all I have to go by until I do an SG reading. My thought is to leave it alone for maybe another week and then check SG a couple of days in a...

Ok guys, Today is day 7 of my first brew. Coopers Canadian Blonde extract. I kept it simple, no additions. My air-lock is at one bubble every 6 seconds. I don't want to mess with it too much. I have not done anything since putting it in the fermenter. My temp has stayed around 67-69F the...

It's now been 5 days and I still have the airlock bubbling once every 3 seconds. Just gonna let it do it's thing. Looking good so far ! :mug:

Welcome to the forum. :mug: If you hang around here long you will be brewing before you know it. Lots of great folks here that are very helpful.

Welcome to the forum. :mug: I am from the Houston area and I am new to this hobby as well. There are a lot of good folks on here that are very helpful.

Thanks for the reply, I will definitely check the Specific Gravity once it has reached it's time to make sure that it has reached it's FG before bottling

Ok guys..... My first beer (Coopers Canadian Blonde Extract kit) was brewed on 12-07-14 and has been fermenting since. The temp in the room is at 66-68* F. and I have a thermometer sitting on the lid of the fermenter and it has been at 67-69 F My OG was 10.40 It was bubbling at...

I am just getting into brewing and I have to admit that Craig's video's have been a big help. They have played a big part in giving me the confidence to pursue home brewing. His delivery and his ability to present the information in a way that is not so much about building himself up but more...

As far as I can gather... You should see what the temp range was stated on the yeast you used. I used to live in Victoria.... My dad still does so we go there pretty often. I also have a place in POC and keep our boat there as well. I am new to the brewing hobby but really enjoying thus far...

Hi Jenn, Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your brewing and let us know how it's going.

Welcome to the madness ! Sounds like you guys are on your way. I am just getting started as well. Therefore I here ya on the reading and research..... The people on here are very helpful and supportive. Great place to come to for help / advice.

Welcome to the madness, :mug: I don't like bleach (see below) I think that StarSan is the best way to go. You don't have to work so hard to make sure that you got all of the bleach residue out. I don't like Idophor either because it stains your equipment. StarSan is a great product and does...

Yep, I am going to do a Coopers Wheat Beer next with a Belgium kick. I am going to add bitter orange peel and coriander as well as an extra 2 lbs. of light malt extract to the Coopers kit.

If I have 2 or3 I am relaxed But.... Once I get to 6 it's party time ! Lol However sometimes I opt for some Crown Royal. The wife likes to do a shot or two from time to time and I must admit I enjoy that as well. Just sayin'

Well..... I got home this evening from work and my fermentation vessel is now bubbling about 1 time per second. I took a whiff from the air lock and I smell BEER ! :ban: Of course it is a little different as I used Vodka in the air lock but I do smell beer. Now I just have to practice...

Update... Got up this morning and I have bubbling in the air-lock. It is bubbling once every 5 seconds or so. I guess it's doing ok...

I am logging all of the details of the brew day. Hopefully it will turn out good and if so I want to be able to repeat it.
