I have this recipe for an IPA, it calls for 12.75 pounds of 2 row pale malt, and 14 oz of caramel 60, for a 5 gallon batch. Is there really a difference if I use Briess 2 row brewers malt intead of the pale malt? thanks

Thanks, ill go to my lhbs, and get one.

Ill post a picture. They dont look very different but, there surely is difference once you try to cap them

The thing is, It takes 3-4 caps per bottle to get one correctly caped. Its pretty frustrating!!!!

Hello, 2 days ago I made an IPA, I used the yeast fermentis us-05, witch I washed from a previous brew. I had about 1.25 cup of washed yeast. I made a 1/2 gallon starter and pitched the yeast to a 5 gallon carboy OG 1.058. Yesterday it was fermenting perfectly, but this morning I found that it...

I made my hefeweizen today, I ended up with an OG of 1.052 a little more than I was hoping, guess that decoction worked really well!!!!. I pitched 1 packet (11 grams) of munich yeast, should that be enough for 5 gallons?

The gavity is going to be 1.050, so ill guess ill use 1 thanks

Im brewing a hefeweizen tomorrow, but I have a question. I´m using munich yeast on the paquet it says to use 1g per lt of wort. so should I use 2 paquets for a 5 gallon (19 lts) batch? Thanks

I bottled today, i added 1.25 cup of xylitol and 1.25 cup of granulated spendla, it tastes great!!!!

I have xylitol, but im not familiar with with erythritol. What about stevia?

I just tasted it after 2 weeks in secondary and its great, i think it's a bit dry, my wife likes sweet fruit beers, how coul I make it sweeter???

I have 1 question, if i do a doble decoction, will I get more color and more authemtic taste than usiong a little carawheat?

I was able to get munich yeast, so I'm going to use that.

Has anyone used munich yeast, to make hefeweizen? i also was reading tha fermentis saflager W34/70 is Weihenstephan strain, would that work, fermenting at higher temps?

Ill try my recipe and see how it turns out, in my first try of a hefeweizen i used 2 row pale malt, and white wheat, this time i'm using pilsen, hope to get better results. Since I only have acces to WB-06, I've been reading a lot of post about this yeast. What i found is to use .75 of the 11...

Why?

Its a 5 gallon batch. a few weeks ago I brewed a hefe, but as you say my efficiency droped way down, the result was a very light and watery beer. I tried to compensate with this ratio. Also the color was very very pale. I tried several hefes: franziskaner, erdinger, paulaner and...
