Bump because I live near your zip:)

And I recently made a cherry wheat clone that was a recipe from my LHBS. They recommended using a cherry puree during primary. I followed the recipe but later learned that fruit in the primary was pretty much eaten up. Ended up with zero cherry taste. So I added half a can of blackberry...

Pretty much the same here. I used to love cherry wheat. Had it from the keg about a year ago and remembered loving it. Recently picked up a 6 pack. I HATED it and ended up leaving it at the party I was at. I guess my tastebuds have changed since I started brewing my own.

Hate to bump this old thread but at least I searched. Did you ever have any luck with this? I just got done installing my TS2 and never thought the hard part would be the programming. But you're right, the instructions are completely worthless.

Thanks for the info. I'll let this thread get back on track now:)

Thanks for the reply BBB. I will be giving this a shot with the watermelon recipe. How long are you staying in primary before cold crashing? Even though I am going the watermelon route, I'm curious for future recipes. How are you getting the juice from the strawberries?

No I was asking if you used the extract as in the watermelon extract. I was also asking bigbeergeek about adding fully fermented beer to the keg with fresh juice as opposed to adding to secondary. I have the latest recipe (v5.1 I believe) in the primary right now. But after reading...

So you went from primary to keg+fresh juice? Did you use any extract?

Just wondering if you ever gave this a shot with the watermelon. Would you suggest lowering the amount of fresh watermelon juice? As I think about the process it kinda seems to me that you might end up with more of a 'beer with watermelon in it' than a 'watermelon flavored beer'. But I am...

I'm much happier about the .05 off than I was before. I came up with 1.030 on my first batch and threw it away. And I'm very much looking forward to having some samples tonight to see how things are aging. I have an APA that should be just about ready:)

Going from grain to fermenter always seems to take much longer than I plan. Hah. Anyway, I ended up with an OG of 1.045 (temp corrected) and a target of 1.050 so I'm happy happy happy [/Phil] So I thank you for all your help and surely this thread will be burnt into my memory. I do have a...

Thanks for all the replies!! I plan to go back to the further (LHBS2) store and try the same recipe again while sparging/vorlaufing correctly. I'll see if that brings up my OG a little. I'll take a picture of the crush for you all since I really wouldn't know one way or another.

Hello there, I have brewed a few one gallon batches with success so I've slowly gathered up some other goods and am now making 5 gallon batches and kegging. I use a rectangular cooler with a braided mesh tube. After drastically missing my OG (that question coming) I went to a...

Sorry to bump this old thread but after reading through each yesterday I immediately ran to my LHBS and grabbed the ingredients. Can not wait to try it. Thanks for the thread!
