Just to let you know, we drank the first brew this past weekend and everyone survived! Haha.

http://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/attachments/f39/80480d1350869898-one-bad-bottle-img_4320.jpg Look anything like that? I bottled my first brew a couple weeks ago and that formed after a day or two. Everyone here suggested it was fine, and I'm going to drink it in about an hour. So if you never see...

Thanks for the replies guys! I actually changed around that recipe a bit after I posted to get down to (around) 20 IBUs. Took the cascade hops out completely and added at 30 minutes. The only reason I really wanted to boil for the extra 30 was purely to experiment with cooking times, since I'd...

For my second beer, I decided to sort of venture out and create my own brew. I feel I have a fairly decent idea of the process, so I wanted to see how I could do own my own without a kit or any ideas. I plugged everything into HopVille and BeerSmith and it all looks pretty good. (Still haven't...

So in what situation would adding it to a non-Belgian make sense? What would it do to, say, a hefeweizen? Or a wheat beer? This is why I'm addicted to brewing. It's all the possibilities!

The next recipe isn't a Belgian, so I never figured I'd need it. It was more of a question trying to figure out if it was just a Belgian thing or if it is used in a broader range. Thanks for the info!

After the success of my first brew, I've begun working on my second one. I decided to get a little experimental and put my own recipe together for the second one since I've learned quite a bit about hop varieties, grains, etc. My only question is this: My first brew was from a kit, a Belgian...

I just bottled my first batch as well. I filled my bucket with 5 gallons of water and added an ounce of StarSan, per the instructions. Then I put 6 or so bottles in the mixture for a couple minutes. My friend then poured the bottles back into the bucket while I added new bottles to the bucket...

A leaking bottle would explain the rising bubbles I suppose. Oh well, I'll just make this one bottle the one I open Saturday.

Oh yeah they're locked up in a dark, never opened closet, and covered with a blanket. The only reason I have the clear ones is because one of the guys chipping in on this project cheaped out and only ordered half the bottles he was asked to order. Only 16 of the clear bottles are in use, the...

Thanks for the replies guys. I separated this bottle from the rest just in case I get a bottle bomb, since it's displaying alot more signs of carbonation than the others. Time to sit back and wait now!

Hey everyone. Been lurking around the forums for a while now. I ordered all my stuff and brewed my first beer a few weeks ago and bottled it last night. Sampled it last weekend and while bottling last night, and even after all my concerns, everyone here was right in their motto "RDWHAHB". (Did I...
