If you guys don't mind, I have one other question. Being new to homebrewing, how much time should I set aside for the entire bottling process from cleaning/sanitizing to capping? I would like to do it after work this evening, so I have a few hours available. Do you think it's feasible to...

Thank you everyone for commenting so quickly. I feel a lot better now and can't wait to get home and bottle!

Pappers, Thank you so much. This is exactly the kind of straightforward information that I needed. I can breath a sigh of relief and actually get excited to bottle this batch! Thank you!

I have 5 gallons of a Belgian WIT ready to bottle but am getting very confused as to how much cane (table) sugar to use for bottling to get carbonation. This is my very first batch and I'm finding conflicting information. I'm using this calculator as a reference...

How did your beer come out using table sugar??

I know that this post is old but I thought I would give it a shot anyway. How can I increase the ABV of this extract kit and also increase the flavor to balance it? Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help Pie_Man. I just found the Wiki on HBT and it is exactly what I was looking for. Happy brewing!

Thank you Bookem! I will do some searching on Youtube.

That is awesome! I am a bit intimidated by the Imperial Stout but that is the style that I want to brew the most. Did you go partial mash or all grain on that one? Do you mind sharing the recipe and instructions you used?

Thank you for the quick answer. I'm pretty new to the forums if you couldn't tell. I'll definitely check out the stickies and howtobrew.com Thanks!

Congrats man!! That's really awesome! I'm making my first batch (currently in the primary) and its the same kind except I'm making the rookie mistake of trying to get fancy by adding mango lol Your brew looks so delicious! Do you have a second batch coming up? If so what kind? (I'm still...

Thank you guys for all of the suggestions. The reason I ask is that there are a few beers I want that aren't available in my local area. These sites are great!

Have only brewed one batch (still in the primary) and am itching to start my second. The first partial mash recipe that I bought at the home brew supply store came with step by step instructions, which was extremely necessary for a beginner like me. Since then I have found many awesome recipes...

I've just discovered that you can buy beer online. Can anyone recommend a site that they have used? I'm looking for one with the best savings of course! Thanks, BuffaloJoe

Thank you so much!!

Can you share where you got this recipe? I would love to make this!

I really like vodka idea! Thank you!

My Belgian WIT is in the primary for the next few days which will add to a total of two weeks. On Saturday, I will be getting it into the secondary and would like to add a few mangoes in there but want to make sure they are sanitized. What is the best way to do this? Do I literally...

This is awesome! Thank you for the great ideas!

According to the local homebrew supply shop guys, I should sanitize the fruit by dipping it in the sanitizing solution that I've made. In this case, it's a 5 gallon bucket with hot water and Star San. Simply dunk it in there for a minute or less maybe just to get off any fresh bacteria...
