So I have a non traditional hefe fermenting right now. Using Safbrew WB-06. Fermentation started within just a couple hours of pitching and has been going pretty steady all day today. Wife and I just got home from a hockey game and I ran down to check on it as it seems to be a pretty vigorous...

Oh I'm not nervous. It just sounded a lot funnier at the time and I wanted to share. Turns out not really funny now that I reread.

Absolutely get them involved! This is a great thing that more people should be a part of. Just....sometimes....yknow haha.

5 gal of my new T&HBC Live Grenade Hefeweizen brings us to 7067. So pumped to be a part of this.

Was going to say this. I only have one buddy who brews, and we brew together (split the cost of batches). The rest of my friends are BMC drinkers who wouldn't know a good beer if I poured it down their throats. All near-snobbery aside, they always have a hilarious comment about this or that...

Awesome, almost as awesome as the puzzy hair thread a few weeks back.

Looks like you made beer! Welcome to the addic...hobby! Unless you're planning on adding fruits or oak or anything, you may just be able to run a longer primary straight to bottling. Opinions on here vary but I am a proponent on just doing a longer primary till the SG stays steady for a few days...

Agree. I would assume its broken. I use hydrometers at work, actually had one do something pretty similar the other day. Knew the chemical should be at roughly 1.110, reading was at about 1.200. Tested with a new hydro, it was 1.110. Broken hydros suck if you can't get another one quickly. I'm...

Haha probably quite pissed. But she enjoyed the last brew (she doesn't really drink at all anymore) and if she enjoys this one I think her faith in this will raise a bit and shell probably start getting less pissed. AG probably won't happen for a while yet. I want to get my kegging rig first.

So my buddy and I got a great start to our second brew day today. Sanitized everything, prepared the equipment and gathered the ingredients. Then it turned into chaos. Here's a basic run down for you all to enjoy: Around 2-3 weeks ago I found a recipe for "Panic Button" hefeweizen. Decided it...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Love this thread. Building my own house from scratch is my greatest dream.

Always enjoy seeing a bar built from the ground up. I hope to do this in the next couple years when the wife and I buy a house large enough. Looking forward to watching your progress.

Honestly I hadn't even read the OP. I was scrolling up from the bottom, saw that, and was like "woah! Woah! Woah! Baaaaaad."

This is not very sound advice. Check your specific gravity for at least 3 consistent days. Then, when it has stayed put for three days, you're good to bottle. Airlocks are really just an immediately tangible device for home brewers, not so much a great sign of this or that. I literally only...

+1 Split the batch and send some this way! :D

That is amazing. I planned on one in a room inside my brew room when SWMBO and I finally start building our place in a year or so. But right there! That's awesome.

5g of Brewers Best weizenbier extract (first brew) 3658

SWMBO managed to snag an old (guessing 50's -60's era) Sears phono cabinet. She's kind of a hipster, except we don't have records around the house. So I asked, and she said sure. These are the start, plenty of work to do yet, but I needed somewhere dark to condition. Unfortunately I forgot to...

Im a rookie still, but I'd totally say leave it a few more days. Time makes good beer great, I've found.

You're living the dream man. I commend you. My 3-5 year goal is to open a brewpub. I wish you only the best of luck. Also, I have a friend in (either, but can't remember exactly which) Bangor or Portland. I've seen both names in here, so I'm assuming they're semi-close....he loves great beer, so...
