This is the same problem I am having. I ended up with about 3 gallons or just under yesterday when I brewed my Hefe. :( I did not compensate enough and I even think that the whole hops really absorbed a lot of water. I'm hoping to get this right on my 3rd AG. -- Trev

I've evaluated both and I like promash. It has better session brews. -- Trev

GO SHARKS!! :D -- Trev

Hehehe. Will do when I get a chance. Just starting my starter tonight in 5 minutes for my next AG, a Hefe. :) Can't wait for brew day on Sunday! Nice avatar BTW! :D -- Trev

Nope, that was George's kids. Well at least they got to name them. :D -- Trev

Very good question. I was wondering the same thing myself. I have a feeling that just using a Briess Brewers' Gold will be sufficient in any batch. Correct me if I am wrong. Nice thread by the way! :) -- Trev

Thank GOD the Raiders traded Moss!! What a loser! I am not a Raiders fan BTW. I've been to every game when they've hosted the phins and get beat up. :) I wear my cap and fight them like a champ, I haven't had too much crap thrown at me I am a pretty big guy and have some big buddies that have...

I am a Dolphin fan and Marino has the records. Including many that surpass Fran so hush!!! :) -- Trev

Sure thing! :) I'll be taking pictures and a quick video of the violent initial fermentation. :) If you're going to do a protein rest (step mash - decoction) you have to start by infusing to the Conversion Rest at 150-155F for 30-50 minutes. Then Pull 40% of mash (thinner) heat slowly to...

LOL! There are a few out there. This one is probably the best! :rockin: - -Trev

Did you search the yellow pages for a local home brew supply? If not, morebeer.com is pretty good. I'm sure others will chime in with other sites that offer good deals. morebeer.com is good for hardware and extracts but if you are after AG then you might search around, google is your friend. :)...

Thanks guy. I will go for 1/4 lbs. crystal 40L and perhaps 1/4lbs. munich malt 2 row? Can you post your recipe or advise? Many thanks!! Cheers, -- Trev

This is an interesting thread to me because I am preparing for a Hefe this weekend and was going to start my WLP320 starter around 48 hours before I pitch and would love to know what yeast you used Pol? I am planning on 1/4 lbs. of DME and WLP320 with a 1 litre flask. I'll start with a 1.040...

Thanks man. I would love to hear what he has to say. I am brewing this weekend and hope to have the recipe dialed in by then. Again, thanks! -- Trev

I have friend that smokes like a stack and almost strictly drinks Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. The guy brings like a case or more on board his yacht when we are sailing or racing just to make sure he doesn't run out, and that is on top of all the other beer the crew bring to the boat for Wednesday...

Course I'll let everyone know how it turns out. This one I'll be taking pictures and probably video of the violent turbulence of the yeast taking action. I'll be doing a blow off with this one. My wife would kill me if there was beer spewed all over the closet down stairs. :cross: My Fat...

For those that want to brew a pretty accurate Fat Tire brew. This is a Fat Tire clone I did and is pretty spot on! The grain bill is HUGE but man! Talk about flavor! :rockin: -------oOo------- Fat and Tired (I just called it this, not to confuse with the other Fat and Tired) A...

After reading around, I think it would be safe to drop down to .5 lbs. of munich. The rest, I think looks half way decent and hey, it shouldn't turn out that bad, this is beer we're talking about. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks, -- Trev

Found a post on this one after searching. It seems I am right about in line (I hope) :) -------oOo------- EDIT> found it!: From the September 94 issue of All About Beer Magazine: Quote: "Hefe-Weizen a la Widmer Brewing": 1 BBL recipe: 31 gallons/117 liters (divide by 6 to make 5...
