48 hours later and no popped tops or exploded bottles

They are already capped but all stored in a large rubber made container with the lid secured... if they blow they wont go anywhere... looks like its a wait and see situation.

damnit... Ok so lets say someone didnt know that and used 2 per 12 oz bottle... what are the chances of them exploding?

I have a quick question. When using Coopers Carb drops it says on the back. 1 per stubbie 2 per long neck Im assuming a long neck is a regular 12 oz bottle. Does that sound about right using 2 drops per 12 oz bottle?

What are the BJCP guidelines?

I happen to live 2 blocks away from the Brewpub. Not only is the beer great the food is delicious as well. I recommend it to everyone thinking about comming out to the west side of the state.

This thread is dirty... I like it :D

I dont know about competitions but is clarity of the beer part of the judging?

Is clearing of beer really that important to people? I figure if it tastes good who cares what it looks like, but a few of my friends have complained that homebrew beer is too cloudy for them. Just curious how many people cold crash or add Irish moss/gelatin.

Ok I would like to add some corriander to this also... does anyone have any experience with that. How much should I add and when. Should it be at the 15 minute mark with the orange and lemon zest

Well the Ithica beer is one of my favorites. But the Leinenkugel is to keep SWMBO happy.

Ok so heres my idea... I found something similar to what Im trying to make by FSR402. 6# Wheat DME (60/40 of wheat and pils) 1 oz. Cascade hops at 4.5% for 60 minuts of boil at 15 minutes left of the boil add the zest (the outer part of the peals) of 4 large orange and lemons 1 packet...

I may have to try that... But doesnt both of those contain sugar? Perhaps If I use those as my Priming sugar? Or would that be a horrible idea not knowing the exact sugar content in them.

Im looking to get everything into the bottle. Ive done the shot of lemonade into the glass before I drank it trick. What im looking for is the ability to get that lemonade flavor into the beer itself. I have a couple options that Ive been thinking about. One would be to make the beer and...

Syracuse Alum proud to say GO CUSE!!!

I guess question two would be what exactly is a weiss beer. Isnt that just a wheat beer?

Im sure this should be put into the recipie category but Im still new to brewing so hopefully if I put it here the awnser will automaticaly be dumbed down for me :-P. I want to surprise my girlfriend with a clone of her favorite beer. Which is Leinenkugel's Summer Shanty. Its weiss beer...

Try experimenting with Fruit beer... If that doesnt work theres always Wine or Cider. I just opened up a bottle of Cyser my friend made and my girlfriend is absolutely in love with it. She even ordered a kit for me to make without telling me.
