Thanks for the info. I went with 13 teabags. :) I took an OG of 1.031. Seems pretty low. This is before the addition of yeast. I'm sort of surprised at how low it is.

I saw only one thread on this in the Extract section. I came over here to see if anyone has tried it. I'm going to put 5 teabags in at flameout for 5 minutes. Hoping to get some big apices along with Hallertau and Hersbrucker. Looking to do a holiday ale.

A friend of mine who works for Pabst said that the link os a scam. Not pbr related.

I wonder how this one turned out? I'm thinking of using Good Earth tea bags also. I was thinking of using one per gallon (5), brewing until boil then removing. Anyone else tried Good Earth?

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll leave the hops alone. It tasted great as it stands now. I just didn't get enough hop taste, but alas it is a simple beer.

Hey, thanks for that. That really helps. I just checked with the hydrometer and the reading is at 1.012. This has been fermenting since Saturday. That seems really quick. I tasted it and it does taste like the Kasteel! Must be the wine yeast. I'm going to add another .5lb of dextrose. I...

And 1 ounce Hallertau hops? I need the OG, forgot to look at it before pitching yeast. I was trying to make a light beer for the SWMBO, lagerish, but not really although it is cold in SF right now! :) I found that she and I really enjoy drinking Kasteel Cru when we see it around, and I...

Thanks for the replies. I'm happy to say that it tastes great, and the beer is really sweet from the blueberry juice. I took a reading which was at 1.019 and the OG was 1.050. That means around 4% ABV. Should I keep waiting to see if I can go higher, even though it tastes nice, if a bit sweet or...

Thank again to the brain trust! I will taste it today and report back.

I have a wheat beer with an addition of blueberry juice added to the secondary. There is a thin white film on the first and second horizontal edges. Does anyone know what this is? I hat has been in the secondary for 25 days. Thanks.

I thought this would make a good thread for those that appreciate this most awesome beer! Now, the question. Has anyone attempted a clone? :D

Grew up on Fort Shafter. Best place I've ever lived in my life. People are very nice in Hawaii and the kids will absolutely love it.

It's morning now and I realize how lame it all is. Thanks for the replies. The question I still have in my mind is, should I have shaken his hand. He was about 6'1, not a 'big' guy relative to me, 6'0. He put out his hand not really to diffuse, but in a condescending way, I guess you just...

I was out at a bar, playing pool and there was this guy who was acting aggressive the whole night. I noticed he started acting tough to a friend who is a local there. I walked up and asked what was going on and immediately his buddy who was bigger than him( the aggressive guy was about...

Exciting. I've been really following this one, can't wait to hear how it drinks. According to the OG and FG, what Abv are you looking at?

I scored 3 better bottles today and picked up stopers and airlocks for each. I have 5 gal of porter in a primary, 5 gal of acài blueberry wheat and another 5 gal of ed worts apfelwein in carboys. Any suggestions on a few beers? :)

Any news on this? Been waiting on some results! :)

Up at 630am and the pumpkin ale is fermenting like mad! ThanKs for the speedy replies. Can anyone clarify how long I'll need in the secondary and I'm loving this, can't wait to start on another one! Btw, my first batch I made was on my electric stove. Way too slow. So I cleaned out my...

Hello, I'm new here and am impressed with all of the info you all share! I've just begun brewing and am already working on my 2nd beer. I'm a little worried about my pumpkin ale because it isn't fermenting yet. Its been about 2hrs and ive yet to hear any gurgling from the airlock. The temp...
