Great news, thank you sir! I can hardly wait! It was watery but lightly wheat sweet with a bitter bite, I understand it might and probably will change but the excitement will not cease!!

Well as far as young goes its only four days. I regretfully didn't take the OG reading but just now I took a reading to measure against what the kit says should be the fg (1.010-1.015), it's 1.009. Does that mean its done? Why is it below what it should be? Also tastes quite watery, will that...

Sorry. Daksin.

Thank you Hopmonster, I also have a handicapped person in my family who hates being treated as such. We all have our strengths but I would say that those with disabilities are stronger than most including myself. But yes back to the beer. Danskin, thank you, your advice will help quite a bit.

First of all don't assume I'm talking about mental retardation, which by the way is not a derogatory term for the mentally handicapped. Water head, cork head, retard, yes. The word Retardation is the act or result of delaying; the extent to which anything is retarded or delayed; that which...

It's the temp on the thermo-strip on the primary. Should I attempt to cool it or is it too late?

It's an American ale yeast. So the hops should mask minor strangeness? Good to know. Thanks

Wool do! Thanks

Good to know. Thank you.

I'm brewing my first batch, a hoppy wheat, and I'm on the third day in primary. It's been a steady 72 all three days. I thought that was good but now I'm reading that if you start off to warm you could end up with off flavors. Is this true, if so, is it to late? Is it even going to make that big...

Yeah, originally I was going to do a Blue or Strawberry wheat and at the last minute went for the hops. oh well more for me I suppose. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.
