I've used both. I use 3068 for hefe's, gives banana character/cloves around 68, might clash with what you actually want. you'll probably end up with something closer to a hefeweizen. I had diacetyl issues with 3944, but it went away after awhile and I'd say I liked the final product...

I have a question as I have never used extracts before. I do all grain batches, and I have made a lot of wheat beers. I want to start using apricot, blueberry, etc. extracts, but I'm not sure how much to add. I see a lot of 4oz bottles, but they all say add to taste. If I do a regular...

anyone live near vista, cA? go check it out, haha

Hey, My name is Carl, just wanted to say hi to everyone and I can't wait to talk about fermentation.

I would think it would be fine. Consider the first round a starter!

Hey, I live in central NY, could I grow hops here? I'd imagine it's too cold right? Do you do this for convenience sake? considering hops are pretty inexpensive. Do you have to dry them or anything, or do you just pick them and add them to the boil? Thanks! Very interesting.

Me and most of my friends that use rectangular coolers get about 65 to maybe 70% eff., I don't mind paying a lil more for more grain, but I like to think I have a really good setup. I've heard of people using the 10 gallon drink coolers and getting a lot better eff. I am hoping to switch to...
