I want to brew a hefeweizen, I want to buy WEYERMANN® PALE WHEAT and WEYERMANN® BOHEMIAN PILSNER, 60/40 ratio, respectively. It's a big mess in my head of quantities to use of each, how much hops and yeast will be needed for, say, 2 gallons batch...I'm lost

I have an extract brewing kit which consists of a 5Gal fermenter bucket, 5Gal bottling bucket, 5Gal carboy and 3Gal boiling kettle. I want to start BIAB and want to be able to utilize equipment mentioned above. How big batches (in gallons) can I brew with this? Is it possible to steep the grains...

Hi again fellas, my final report on my first batch. I just popped open my hefeweizen from a Grolsch bottle and it made a hissing sound like a....real beer. YAY!! I noticed the distinctive banana flavor, I guess due to a bit higher fermentation temperature which I aimed to do at the beginning...

Thanks Nokt. I repeat myself but, is 75F good "room temperature" to mature hefeweizen?

Guys, I just finished making my first wort. I hope I did everything right. I have a few questions. First on is about pitching yeast. My recipe called for steeping grains in 2 gallons water, adding DME and then cooling wort to ~80F. Then adding ~2 gallons of cool water to the wort to make 5 1/4...

During winter I've seen temps going down to below 40s. I'm not sure how many degrees fermentation process adds to wort temperature, but if is 40-45 degrees, IMO I can't brew without a heater. I chose glass only because I think plastics add unwanted chemicals to anything stored in them. Using...

Thank you for all suggestions. Will see how my first batch goes and report. I still don't have a freezer which is essential where I live. Once I get it, I'll pull the trigger and see what happens.

Hello, I'm new to home brewing and since local stores don't have always beer I like, I decided to brew my own. I will be thankful if someone can help me choose what I need (additionally) to begin the journey. I bought Brewers Beast Beer Equipment Kit with Glass Carboy with my choice of...
