You sir, are correct

I planned on putting the primer in the bucket and adding beer on top. My understanding is that that is the safest way to mix

Seems like a good plan. My LHBS is 50 miles away :(

Thats really cool! Also, shout out from talladega! Roll Tide!

ok. Slight problem..... I only have 5oz of corn sugar. 141.75g. Sugars I have on hand are Table sugar light corn syrup brown sugar honey maple syrup What to do?

Gotcha, I amended the recipe to 2oz honey malt and swapped the hops. Lowered the apollo to .5oz. Still getting 46 IBUs tho which seems high but its just a number I suppose. Ive had beers before that didnt seem to match the numbers I saw. As for adding the honey late, is there any...

Ok. I don't know what order they use so I tried it both ways and apollo late gave a lower IBU. Still high for the style though and the beer doesnt come off as being "hoppy" at all IMO. .5oz apollo @ 60 1oz Willamette @ 5 gives me 47 IBU Reversed I get 33

Gotcha. I had never even heard of it and didnt see it in any recipes so I was just guessing.

My wife's favorite beer is a local brew called Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale by Back Forty Beer Co. in Gadsden Alabama. http://backfortybeer.com/the_liquid/truck_stop_honey Here is what I know about it ALCOHOL CONTENT BY VOLUME: 6% HOPS: Apollo and Willamette MALTS: Honey, Crystal, Chocolate &...

I need a tree and a sulfiter........And about 100 other things lol

I usually rinse my bottles after use and Ive trained the wife to do the same. I cant be sure about all of the bottles tho so I think a run through the washer would be the safe bet. Another question. Do you guys bottle alone? Or do you recruit some help? I'm thinking myself, the wife, and my...

So, today I plan on bottling my Dunkelweizen! Its been in the fermenter for 3 weeks. I will take a FG first and make sure its done but I will be surprised if it isnt. Here is my plan though so since its my first go, I want to run it by you guys. Of course there are a few questions here as...

Dumped it. Maybe it would have done something but I let my wife smell/taste it and she said it was disgusting. If it had been like this the first time I would be more optimistic.

Nothing on top. And its not like "gag spit it out" sour. What it is tho, is a completely different taste and smell from 2wk to 3 wk which makes me kinda nervous.

Well ****, I think I ruined it. Went in a minute ago to take a FG. Didnt smell the same. Kinda sour smelling, didnt taste the same either. Not quite vinegar but definitely more sour and not near as sweet as last week. The gravity was the same as last week. Should I bother bottling? Or just...

Can't guarantee but it would be hard to believe that one of those flea markets on 41 between Kennesaw and Acworth wouldn't have some. PS. I haven't lived there in over 10 years so if the flea markets arent there any more, sorry lol

This beer is confusing my mouth brain. Its like a heavy english or brown ale, with hops. Like, a **** ton of hops? Enough hops for a tripple IPA but with the color, mouth feel and sweet maltiness of a heavy brown ale? I dunno what I think but at 12% ABV, I have a feeling my opinion will...

Looks like my plan to "finish" the beer off at 70ish has fell through. Thanks to unseasonably cold weather here in Alabama, my ferm temp has actually dropped to about 64-66. Oh well. Guess temp control will move up my priority list a bit but for now it will just have to be happy at what it is.
