Just like most here...I taste the brew at every step.

I use a seperate bag. Just chunk them in with a minute left in the boil and remove both bags at the same time.

Chances aren't great. The FASTEST I have ever had a beer ready was 1 month.

Technically, to be "Bud Like" you used Way too much hops. The proper amount is, take one pellet and wave it over the pot for 5 seconds during the boil. Then throw it away.....:D

Yes you will. No problem. I made a cranberry wheat for last Christmas...1 week in primary. 2 weeks in secondary with the berries. 2 weeks in tertiary after racking off of cranberries. Got plenty of carbonation with the usual dose of corn sugar at bottling time.

I think bird may be on to something. LME/DME takes a lot more time to carbonate than does corn sugar. You may be drinking them / putting them in fridge before they have time to fully carb. Which is probably a good thing since I think if you didn't, you would have bombs with that much extract.

My brew pot has handles and I just tie the top of the grain bag to one of them. Keeps it suspended where it can't touch the bottom and burn. ;)

Brewed a Hefe last Saturday. Was going to move it to secondary today but it's still bubbling! :eek: Any way. Today I'm brewing a cranberry wheat. Normal brew, the fun will come in about a week when it's time to chop up the 4 lbs of cranberrys and stuff them into a carboy. :D

Brewed a Fraziskaner Hefe Weisse clone last weekend. This weekend it will be a Cranberry wheat.

I was thinking the same thing. :confused:

Don't know about the rest of the Hondas (I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan Classic) but I rode a Rebel once and felt like I was riding a tricycle with my knees up by my ears.:p And I'm only 5'8"....

I am back! Brewing my first batch in about 6 months. Planning this little thing called my wedding has been taking up most of my spare time but today I'm back at it! Brewing a Hefe. HB_99 would be proud if I remember correctly...:mug:

Nah...Shouldn't be. I have never sanitized the packet and have forgotten to sanitize the scissors every time but once. Haven't had a problem yet.

I dump the priming sugar into the bottling bucket, then siphon the beer in on top of it. The whirlpool action that creates mixes it enough that I don't need to stir it.

No. There was a poll on some TV station the other day asking if your pet was very ill, how much you'd spend to try to save it. SWMBO looks at me and says, "If it were Milo, (her dog) I guess I'd spend about $3,000 to $4,000 if they'd let me finance it. What about you??" I said, "New cat...

Just make any simple wheat beer and use safeale 56 or some similar nuetral yeast. then take 5 lbs of fresh strawberries...chop them in the blender...dump 'em in the secondary. MMMM good!!

I forgot to boil the priming sugar for my first batch and it turned out fine. I just dumped in the bottling bucket and racked the beer on top of it. You should be ok.

Whoops! Posted in wrong topic.

hahahaha!!!! My SWMBO is Mexican and she just calls it food too...But, man, what she cooks is better than you can get in a restaurant.
