Happy to report the fermentation seems to be going well. But I have found out late about the importance of temperature control during fermentation. I've used US-Safale 05 Yeast which has 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F). range. I don't have cooler or any other setup yet, I just put the beer in cooler...

It has begun :D Thanks again to everyone for your advice.

Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate it. I tried to get in the recommended range and got the recipe below. This seems reasonable. But then again unreasonable route leads to 10% ABV murder wheat beer! I'll have to see how I feel on brewday.

BIAB, honestly I have no idea what I'm doing, first time brewing but the excitement of trying some minor alchemy magic with the custom recipe is overpowering rational approach of sticking to basics. :D I've visited the microbrewery that sells ingredients I'll be buying (Limited options here)...

Ah :D I thought Pilsen was wheat. Thanks! Edit: changed the recipe: Downside I won't get the make world's first Wheat beer that does not have wheat in it.

Thank you! Is this recipe a good idea for a slightly spiced-up wheat beer? Is IBU calculator in beersmith accurate? Is 100 grams of Rye malt good idea? (First pic imperial, second in liters/kg)

Trying to come up with a recipe now while awaiting the items to arrive. :D (Brew in a bag method with malt grains) For going with the less bitter but more aromatic hops taste route and let's say 60-minute boil. 1) Is it better to add small amount of hops from the start, and some in the middle...

Thanks! I'll try the Brew in a Bag method, ordered the brewing bag from amazon. About fermentation vessel. I have some wine carboy/jug glass thingie at home with a kind of wicker weave-like basket around it. It should prevent shards from flying around, but I'm by no measure a careful person...

Awesome, so If I understood this right. The higher wheat to barley in malt and lower amount of hops will is generally what I want for a light wheaty beer? I also just found out a ton of wild hops are growing at a camping spot (away from roads). Should I try collecting it or start with a...

Thanks! I think it would be a good idea to try some simple recipes at first so I have some hands-on experience and taste to compare/adjust things. And in the meanwhile get How to Brew book and learn from online resources. I'm thinking of maybe following this YouTubers recipe somewhat loosely...

Thank you all for the very warm welcome and all the advice. I will try to look up recipes and see what I can make with what is available locally first in terms of bulk ingredients. Is there any downside to using plastic for fermenting vessels?

Thank you! The location would be more confusing than helpful I'm afraid :D I'm from the country of Georgia, which shares a name with the US State of Georgia and it's often source of confusion :D I'm able to purchase from most US, UK, and German stores and have it shipped to me via relatively...

ncbrewer , IslandLizard Thank you! I'll try starting with an ingredient kit to have at least a baseline of how it tastes like and then try experimenting.

Hey! My friends and I are thinking of pitching together for some homebrewed beer but I've no experience with this beyond making ginger beer :D. I'm curious about what kinds of tastes can I expect? I've had a hard time finding information about what kind of taste ranges can I expect to make with...
