I don't think Texas has a bottle deposit. If the do, I don't know about it. (how sad is that?) Anyhow. So there I was. In my one on one with my manager at work. She says, "Is there anything you need?" I said, "Well, honestly, I could use about 100 empty beer bottles. Not the twist off...

3/4 cup should be fine for just under 5 gallons. You can go a little less than 3/4 cup, depending on how carbonated you want it. I add the entire amount to the bottling bucket. It's just easier for me. And I don't stir it in. I boil the priming sugar in a cup or two of water. I then cool...

Hehe. Shoot.. I've been brewing for going on 8 years now and have never once taken a gravity reading. It'll be fine. Like was stated, people have done much, much worse and the beer still turned out fine. :D

+5 = 21,357.5

Hic! Me either.... :drunk:

I agree, I like the black lager way more than the bock. And the Shiner Hefe is just... Not good at all. The funniest part is, most, if not all of the restaurants I've been to around here (Dallas area.) sell Shiner as an "Import." Therefore, it's more expensive than BMC. I routinely ask...

Should be fine. I think it'll take longer to carbonate at that temp, though.

I had way more than I have now. Until we sold our house and moved into our current house. With limited time and moving space, (POD) I had to get rid of some bottles. I'm building my collection back up.

All this and almost no bottles available. I still have a few weeks to gather enough, though. :mug: Top: Chocolate Oatmeal Stout Bottom Left: Edwort's Apfelwein Bottom Right: Cranberry Wheat. (Before racking into secondary and onto the cranberries.) They are normally wrapped in...

I've never done so, so I don't guess I'd call it "necessary." I brewed my cranberry wheat yesterday! The timeline I have planned, it should be ready by Christmas Eve!! :ban:

Brewing my cranberry wheat today. Gotta get it in the primary today so that I can have it bottled and ready to drink by Christmas.

Well, maybe not. When you try to order, USA isn't one of the countries you can choose from.

This place looks promising too. Although I haven't ordered from them yet. http://www.apfelwein-shop.de/epages/61139794.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61139794/Products/0014

Don't know if it helps any, but I pitched this same yeast into a stout on Sunday and by yesterday afternoon the krausen was already completely gone. I remember the same thing happening the other times I've brewed this recipe as well.

6 gallons Doesn't really sound like too much water to me. Maybe half a gallon too much. If that. You'll be fine.

No problem. And yeah, I always do a third stage with my fruit beers. Helps a lot with the clarity.

Ok. Here's the recipe I used. It's basically just a very simple wheat beer with a bunch of cranberries in the secondary, so you can obviously play around with the grain, hops, etc. Here goes: 1 lbs Crystal Malt 20°L 1 lbs Belgian Cara-Pils 8 lbs Liquid wheat extract 1 oz. Cascade pellets...

I would say it's a fairly good round cranberry taste. But the tartness does shine through quite a bit. Which is actually what I'm going for. I love the tartness. I get lots of red color as well.

Sure thing. I'm at work and will have to wait until I get home to find the recipe in my folder. But I'll post it up as soon as I can. :mug:
