I have contacted the company and if they agree to the return, then I will do so. If not, then I will have to save the kit until I can make it, or find someone local who can use it. I appreciate everyones help!! As I said to a member in a private message, It is great to see more experienced...

Thank you Starfish! Very informative! Wailingguitar, This is my first all grain brew. Can you tell? LOL From what I am reading here, I am in WAAAAAY over my head here. I dont have a Mash Tun, I'll get one eventually. I may have to do what was suggested and just wait until i get all of my...

I have 10lbs of grain

I got an all grain Hefe kit from Midwest Supplies - Homebrewing and Winemaking Apparently this is way above my current level. I am seeing terms that I have never encountered before and "The Home Brewers Bible" is only a little helpful. This is the time for all you experts out there to...

If I get the stuff by Thursday, I will be starting then.

Brothers and Sisters in Brew! I am engaging in an experiment. I have two, all grain hefe kits on their way to my house!! Here is what I am going to do, and feel free to add your input and suggestions. I will do my best to "prost" pictures, and reviews as the process evolves. With one...

Ok Cool! I am getting mixed reviews on this, so I may just get two duplicate kits, and do them both ways and see which comes out better.

QUESTION! I like this and it should save me alot of time and effort. However, when using a secondary for my wheat that i want to add oranges to, do I use whole or half oranges, or jest the peels? Any recomendations?

Frogman, Did you ferment in a secondary? If so, how long? A site that I will be getting my kit from, a guy said he fermented in a secondary for 2 months, and it turned out amazing. Thoughts?

Bassballboy, How are you fermemnting at that temp? i thought fermenting was supposed to be dont at between 72-80 unless is a Lager, then lits like 55.. Im still kinda new though, so I am literally learning 60 new things a day

Thanks Frogman!! That was a great forum page. Have you ever done a Blue Moon clone? If so, did you only use orange peel? And was it only in the boil, or did you ferment with it also?

Rev. I appreciate the feed back. Do you brew in carboys? I get the impression that you monitor the fermentation precess. I am not really sure how to do this since I ferment in buckets. What do you think? P.S. I thought that Hefe's and Wit's were the same thing basically. Is there a...

I am excited to start this next brew folks! I live Blue Moon and Widmer, so i decided my next batch will be a wheat beer. I have a few questions and if anyone would like to give me some insight, that would be greatly appreciated. Is wheat beer normally a grain only brew? I plan on...

Makes sense. Thank you so much everyone!! I am excited for this to turn out.. it already smells great, and i can only imagine how good it will taste in four months.. CHEERS

Oh ok. That makes sense. I have already transfered it to the secondary. It should sit there for about 120 days. I wasnt planning on transfering it again, should I? Also, does anyone know what the Camden tablets are, and what they do?

Ok. Thanks. I was freaked out and thought I created some creature. It almost got shot. Next time, if that happens should i remove the airlock and clean it, then replace it with new water, or just dont touch it at all?

Did i do something adverse to it by removing the foam stuff?

I recently made my fourth batch of beer which was a Bock. The recipe was just DME and hops basically. I followed the directions to the T and all seemed as if it was going great. About 3 days later during the fermentation process, I looked at it and found that a thick foam like substance had...

I felt the same way about the recipe. I felt it was horribly written and didn't offer any OG readings to base mine off of. What do you mean "to top up with"?

Absolutely, I knew the honey added about a gallon of volume. I was just worried when it said a 5gal batch, and so far even after tranfering to my secondary, I am still at approximately 6gal. Thank you Onihige, from what you said, I can now tell that I have been reading my hydrometer...
