Well racked into the secondary today. Looks and smells fantastic so all that worrying for nothing!

Wild Rose Brewery Wred Wheat

Thanks for the help guys. Didnt touch it, havent opened it, but you can tell from the outside that it is a going away.

I love Eugene, my brother and I are big ducks fans so we come down once every couple years. I tried to convince him to go there for school. He has to do his maters soon so I am hoping he may still go.

Thanks Floyd, self fufiling prophecy I guess. Worried about issue with beer, check beer often, cause issue with the beer. Haha :drunk:

Wow I am really surprised at the Diet Coke/Water responses. Not that some people will only drink water but just at the frequency of it! Keep it coming, this is really interesting.

Thanks guys, well I am getting some activity here. First time S-04 yeast so this could be normal. No strange colouring or anything but it isnt really bubbling as much as I was hoping. Been about 24 hours, doesnt smell bad. Not sure what an IPA with S-04 will be like. At least something is...

So one thing I have noticed over the last 6-8 months as I have become a bit of a beer person, whether it is from making my own or actually buying good beer, is that at the bar I cant really find anything that I like anymore. Are there more common beers that aren't terrible to order when you...

Up me as well

Thanks, I figured I was worrying (hence why I ended like I did). Good to know. :tank: I was just following the How to Brew for now. I am still too nervous (obviously) to make any assumptions on my own. I try and read a lot on here but sometimes there are more questions than answers...

Never thought of that to be honest. Do you just dump it upside down and leave it for a while to 'drip' out?

I had read somewhere that you use pumpkin pie from a can, like what you would use in a pie. However no idea when you add it in or how. I am too new at it.

Have you tried better/proper yeast to begin with? You mention only using the coopers yeast. I would get a more proper yeast. Also how long are you having it sit? My IPA I am doing now I am slowing everything down. 2-3 weeks in primary and 2-3 weeks in secondary. That mixed with my better...

I dont even trust that they say that you dont NEED to rinse it under the 1oz per 3 Gal. I may be a little over the top with my cleaning but I bleach, let everything sit for 30 minutes, wipe down everything while there is still water in it with a paper towel. Then repeat with Star-San. I always...

This is the first time I have used something besides the coopers in the kit AND tried to re-hydrate and 'start it'. I am probably freaking out a bit more than I should. I bought a S-04 dry yeast as my first hack to a brewhouse kit. I boiled 1 cup of water and let it set. I put it in an ice...

Thanks guys! Yeah I think I am over thinking it a bit. Currently I have a 5 gallon plastic carboy that I use as a secondary, ill make sure I get a 6.5 glass one. The primary is one of the basic craptastic kit ones. It has worked fine for me so far but no airlock. You can kind of see it behind...

Sort of long time lurker (2-3 months) first time poster. This site has been awesome at clarifying and giving me ideas. I have made a Red Ale and Pumpkin BrewHouse kit and just picked up an IPA kit yesterday. It will be my first time hacking the kit up as I also bought a S-04 yeast instead of...
