Sort of. I still like the micro brew stuff, but I enjoy less commercial lagers. I really used to enjoy Yuengling, Sam Adams, and even Blue Moon. Now, although they are still good, I don't dig them as much.

Thanks everyone for your replies. As always they have been very educational. I think I'm going to always lager in bottle, with or without lager yeast.

About 3 or 4 months ago I made a batch of Yooper's DFH 60 Min. Clone. It turned out good. I didn't get good efficiency, so it a little light in color, and not as sweet. I put a bunch of them in the fridge a month ago, and after cracking some this weekend I had super clear beer, and a much...

I bottled my first Belgian, and put some in 1 Liter Bottles, and some in 16oz. PET plastic bottles. First it carbed up in 9 days, which seemed really fast to me. (I squeezed the bottles, they were hard as a rock) After 2 weeks I sampled the partial bottle I had, it tasted great was nicely...

No worries. There is an awesome thread on here somewhere with hundreds of oops far worse that turned out at least drinkable beer. Like having your dog lap up wort before pitching, and having a hairbrush drop into the fermenter. RWDHB!

Bottle anyway. Even if it tasted funky, I would bottle.:fro:

I named mine Graboid Brewing. From the movie Tremors It is a hilarious movie and SWMBO's favorite.

Take 2 cups of water and your sugar, boil it to dissolve the sugar. Pour this into your botteling bucket. Rack your wort onto the sugar, if you use a siphon tube, or spigot with tubing to transfer, then your wort will mix evenly with the sugar. Then bottle the combined wort and sugar.:fro:

Got to try this finally! Well... First the S-04 gave it a slight funk, I mean real slight but it is there at the start, I fermented too warm:drunk: Second, my bud at the LHBS didn't have Fawcett Amber, so I subbed with Victory Malt, When tasted side by side, DFH has a sweet almost brown...

That's likely the culprit. S-04 range is as high as 75 deg. But active fermentation exceeded that I'm sure. Thanks all for your feedback.

No definitely not. Just a slight funk at the first few Drinks. Probably the S-04 at too high ferm temp like I'm being told.

I did warrior at 60 min and mixed the simcoe and Amarillo dropping a few pellets every couple min. I wound up putting my last few in at flameout

I used S-04, (what I had), I fermented probably to warm 70 degrees, and yes the hops were fresh pellets (Hop Union)

I have a similar recipe in my primary now, only it's a 2 gallon batch. I did my sugar with 5 min. left in the boil. It has been active now for 6 days! I really hope it's getting down, because I didn't get as good of eff. as I had hoped. (By active I mean bubbling in my blow off bottle)

Yeah, it is. That is why I'm a little concerned with the "funk". Maybe that is what it is supposed to be? I don't have a DFH 60 in front of me to compare it. Plus I didn't dry hop (I forgot, doh!):drunk:

I'm with mb82, do 3 gallon batches with full boil, you can get better eff. and can do more batches. I had been trying to do 5 gal., with 2, 5 gal. pots, but it was a pain. Plus I had to keep buying bottles for all the beer. I am now shrinking down to 3 gal. batches, to try and really make...

I made a continually hopped IPA, using Amarillo and Simcoe for the continuous blend (equal parts a few pellets at a time). My 60 Min. was Warrior. I'm still learning my hops flavors, so any feed back would be helpful. :D The beer has a very slight "funk" right at the begining, but it doesn't...

I'm assuming your beer has been bottled. If so just flip them upside down, and then right side up. Then let them sit for a day. If it is yeast it will settle out.

I just had the same thing in my bottles. I read that it is just yeast floating, due to the surface tension of the beer. Try tipping them back and forth to break the tension and then check them the next morning. Mine all settled out.
