What I do. take berries and put in mesh bag as if they were your steeping grains. Put in boil water and pull out once it hits a boil. Now keep those berries, and put them into a tupperware type container that is clean and steril. Place that container in the freezer. Finish making yoru wert...

after 4 weeks my raspberry turned into a perfect blend of fruit and beer, but the first week, it was bitter like a sour patch kid. It mellowed out well.

Well, I just finished up and put the fermentor in its normal spot, then went to clean up the little mess. When I got back to give the fermentor a look, the lid is convex and preasure is building in the airlock. That will have made it about 15 min after I put it on the self. This batch is going...

Drinking one right now myself. Its always a good beer, but mine taste better.

I just kegged my Summer Saison about 15 minutes ago, and well there was a nice yeast cake at the bottom of the secondary. So I have decided to use that nice big bunch of yeast and brew my Spiced Wheat tonight ( I had planned on using saison yeast for it anyways since the average temp of the apt...

I was told by my LHBS guy that 30 min boils are all I need to do, but I still do 60 min boils. Not sure what the experts think though.

I have used both dry and liquid, and most recently used a smakpak. So far I like making starters from the dry yeast better. I know about 1 day before brew day if its alive. The little white lab vials are cool though.

Good luck with your first brew. That kit looks nice, has alot more with it than my original kit. Have a fun time and dont stress, if everything is clean it will all go well.

sounds good, I love wheat beers so I think I will give your brew a go some time

Hmm can you get a picture of your mini keg, I think I would like to see what it looks like. Thanks.

I have 24 of the brown 1 liter EZ-Cap bottles, but since I got the kegerator they have collected dust.

oh man the turkey! Thats gonna hurt later.

Rock bottom! Favorite beers here. Great White Light is my favorite beer here and they sell it in 5 gallon kegs. Callahans! Blueberry Wheat is such a smooth and mello beer all you can do is drink more of it. Carl Straus! Stargazer... If you get a chance drink a pint or 2. The filling station...

as my wife just said when we looked at that picture. Its a CarBra

Not to derail the thread but can you point me at a thread that tells me how to wash and reuse my yeast?

awesome job man. Home brewing is probably the best thing I have done in my free time in years. It gets easier as you go, and it keeps tasting great.

Being in a small apt and owning next to no tools, I just bought a kegerator a few months ago, Its based off a sanyo.. Here is the link http://www.beveragefactory.com/refrigerators/beer/bc1206-2.shtml I love it, kind of wish it was bigger already!

Looks alot better than my first brew did at week 1. Let me see if I can find that picture.

I have gotten my equipment and kits from a few diferent places on the internet and from my local home brew supply store. If you have a local store, I sugest going there to get your equipment and beginers kit. If for nothing else but having a real person tell you how it all works face to face.
