I love to use real fruit myself, I have not even bothered getting fruit extract. As for it being mild, I know when adding real fruit you don't get any noticeable flavor until its been in the secondary with the fruit for about a week and a half. I had one batch of Rasp Wheat, that I had used...

That is what I am doing as we speak. after my 300$ batch running the AC last year, never again.

here here! that sounds like a mighty easy and wonderful drink!

Ok, this is my strange tale of making a most refreshing sugar free soda, for the second tap in my kegerator for those that don't drink beer. your choice of sweetener, I have used liquid sweet n low, (yuk) and then I used powdered spelnda ( much better ) I used peppermint extract, the kind you...

there is also a decent video on the sam adams website, and for free online videos I think its alright.

awesome story, good luck with the beer, and for the other guy, my most recent batch didn't take off till day 3, then it went wild, I know how you feel.

you probably need to get a second bucket just for your priming and bottling.

nice job on the water bath, and at 2 days the smells can be strange, but don't worry. You still have a while until you drink it.

don't ask me, only on batch 14 here and only 13 of them were drinkable (the 1 got infected in a nasty way, but at the time I didnt know so drank some,,, YUK). but I like to secondary everything myself, lets things settle out more so it doesn't get all guky (my term) in the bottom of the keg.

They way I decided to do my secondary is at least 7 days to when ever I have time in that next week. Sometimes longer sometimes right on the button. Speaking of, only 2 more days left in the primary for this one. I think.

gotta love a cool looking trub

Due to being very impatient, with this last brew, I kegged, carbed, and tasted. It need to finish up (age) So I pulled it out of the kegerator and let most of the pressure out, and let it age an extra 2 weeks. Then put it back in hooked up and chilled. Much much better now. I need to remember...

Good luck on the kegging! I kegged my 4th (since kegging) a few weeks ago. Its so much better than bottling.

I personaly have used fruit as if it were steeping grains, but let it get to a boil with the fruit for a few minutes. Then take that fruit that will be in your steeping grain bag and put it in a tupperware and freeze it. Once its time to secondary thaw out the tupperware witht eh fruit in the...

You have to find pictures of this to show us! That sounds silly!

you will have to make sure to tell us how it works. I love SN beers, and if I can jsut use their beer to pitch that could be fun when making a clone.

i serve at 3lbs ot so. it pours a bit slow but very little excess foam and still get a good head.

Nice software Thanks!

1 - 1 - 2 was what I started, now its more 2 weeks - 3 weeks - 1 day...
