It turned out delicious.

My local home brew shop said (with the equipment I have) is to: 1) Prepare priming sugar with 1/2 cup of water. And pour into bottom of bottling bucket (5 gallons). 2) Siphon from primary (5 gallon batch) to bottling bucket, and priming sugar will naturally mix in without stirring and causing...

I think adding ice blocks to wort (properly prepared) will be my next go at retrieving optimal wort temp before ptiching yeast. I specifically posted taking the yeast directly from fridge to chilled wort in original post because I figured room temp yeast the best way to ensure better results...

I have the carboy in a small closet with no light entering and the door stays close. I also am keeping refrigerated chilled water soaked t-shirts over the carboy and getting a temp of 68-70 F reading on the temp sticker. Is it too late to try the swamp cooler tub after the first 48 hours of...

So this means to only steep the hops for a short period of time during the boil of the Wheat/Barley DME, correct?

Thanks Zepth. I found in the 1st link listed that a 65/35 is recommended, and even in the 2nd link a 70/30 is used for the actual Yazoo Hefe (one of my favorites). If I did go with 50/50 over something more wheat intensive, would the taste vary dramatically or is stuck sparge be the main...
