K guys this is my first 5 gallon batch an I have kinda pieces together this recipe after a bunch of research and looking at different recipes. let me know what you think, does anything stand out as looking off before I run a batch. I made it In Ibrewmaster... Thanks guys Style: Witbier OG...

Awesome, I'll be dissolving some sugar and adding it to the bucket before bottling. As always you guys have the quick answers. Thanks

Solbes, when I pour the sugar mix I should give it a light stir right?

Hi guys, anyone have any experience using the carb tablets for bottling. Currently I am using sugar in each bottle but I am upgrading to 5 gallon batches and using the tablets sounds much easier then pouring sugar in each bottle. Do the tablets work just the same or are there any negatives...

Billy do you prefer to naturally carb with sugar or do you use multiple methods depending on certain situations?

Or should I boil more then 5 so it reduces to the 5 gallons?

That's what I was thinking. I can then add a little water in the fermenter to get to the full 5 to replace what I lose in the boil right?

I guess I'm more looking at ways to heat and cool without...

Ok great, it did make it more of a pain during bottling but no big deal, it was just the first time I ran across it so it worried me for a second. Thanks guys!

Just bottled my first stout today and during bottling I was getting a lot of foam/head and I have never had that before with the previous lager and wheats I have done. Is this normal or could something be wrong?

Do you use real fruit or does juice/concentrate work better?

Which works best and when to add it. What's your preference?

Im starting my first mead soon and I want to make a Rasberry mead. When do you guys prefer to add the fruit? Primary or secondary? Do you use fresh or concentrate? Thanks

Anyone have any tips or good methods they use to clean there beer bottles to speed up the process? I'm basically hand washing everything right now and it's driving me nuts!
