One more vote for a wheat beer. Mine usually go from primary to tapped within 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.

I use my stirplate for lots of things besides yeast propagation. Nothing brewing related, but it is essentially a magnetic mixer, so any liquids and powders can be mixed with it.

I have been fermenting my hefe's at 62 ramping up to 64-65 and they have been turning out great. Also using the 3068 yeast.

Agree on the aggressive fermentation. Starts fast and lasts for a while. I usually let this one ferment in primary for about two weeks at no higher than 64 degrees, and rack to keg as soon as FG is stable. Carb for a week in refer and enjoy.

+1 on the Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefe and the Wyeast 3068. A pound of honey at flameout makes a nice addition as well.

Hey all, This last weekend I brewed a hefe and am fermenting it with Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan. I am using a Blowoff tube into a gallon jug of starsan. The fermentation is crazy like none of my beers before. There appears to be a ton of yeast collecting in the bottom of my Blowoff jug. Can I...

My mistake on the Blichmann pots. I incorrectly assumed that since all kitchen manufacturers use an induction compatible stainless that the Blichmann would too. Maybe they should switch to using a 400 series thicker ply stainless and they would also get rid of those warping problems they seem...

To work properly with an induction burner the pot material needs to be magnetic, ie: any form of steel or iron. Blichmann kettles should work great. A kettle with a stainless/aluminum bottom would work great as well. I've never used one myself, but I would imagine that it would work fairly...

I know I don't need valves on both ends of the chiller. The bottom one is just there for illustrative purposes ;)

I chose the 24" approx cart height so I would be able to gravity drain my kettle into my carboy after chilling. I will only need a stool once in my brew day to mash in my grains. I am keeping the two tier as jKarp's system utilizes a constant recirc using the BK. I would need two pumps to...

Hey All, I am super new to homebrewing, got 2 whole batches under my belt, and I love it. I am tucked away in the farthest corner of the pacific northwest, Bellingham, WA. Love all the great info that is here on HBT and looking forward to learning all that you have to offer!

Hey All, I have recently taken up brewing with the intention of brewing AG. However, due to many other projects around the house, by brew rig has taken a back seat and I have been doing extract batches while slowly planning and picking up items for my rig. I have decided to build a rig...
