Brewed this about 1 week ago using S-05. How long does the primary usually take? (smells great!) Another Question on the Torrified Wheat. Mine came uncrushed & crushing was not an option from morebeer. I tried crushing w/ a rolling pin & got nowhere. Finally i hit it w/ a food processor for a...

I've got no problem with a session. If too dry should i replace the corn suger with some DME?

What do German's know about beer anyway?!;)

Can't wait. Tick...tock....tick....tock.... The Pilsner malt to replace the 2-row? I thought 2- row & wheat were pretty much staples of a hefe? Just need more wheat malt.

I'm pressed for time & just got a shipping delay from Morebeer. So, i decided to go ahead with what i have on hand. The grain bill is all i really have on hand for the style, I've been wanting to get rid of this rock candy forever & figure a little corn sugar to boost the alc % to respectable...

A couple / few questions: 1.) The toasted malt. Is this it? http://morebeer.com/view_product/17119/102155/British_Maris_Otter_Pale_Malt 2.) What is the procedure of toasting? I buy pre milled grains. I guess I'd have to buy non milled the use a rolling pin? 3.) Are Cascade hops a good...

Total IBU's are .5 with those #'s!

According to Beersmith they go from 4.80 to .16 after 72 months @ 60F vaccu packed. they were stored here & there sometimes in my 100F + shed sometimes in AC.

I totally screwed up, again! I used 1 oz of 6 year old hallertaur hops to my hefeweizen instead of the fresh ones. Can i add bittering hops to the fermenter or keg? I was thinking of boiling some hops in a qt of plain water the adding that to the fermenter or keg. Any suggestions? Of course...

Thanks, does anyone have any scientific info on using the paint strainer in the boil? I'm a little hesitant. I've heard people say I've used it xx # of times & no problems. That doesn't mean you won't get cancer in 5 years.

Who's lil' sparky? And where can i find his hop stopper?:ban:

Will do. I ordered the 20 plate. I guess i have to figure out a hop filter now so i don't clog the thing!

So................who has gotten an infected batch with a plate chiller?? (post#1)

OK, so i guess i'm going to buy one. Is 3/4" standard garden hose size & is that what i should get? Male?

Do you use gravity, or pumps? (I'll be using gravity) How do you get down to 70F with 80F tap water?

I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a plate chiller (this one: http://www.dudadiesel.com/choose_item.php?id=HX1220 I'd like to know who has actually gotten an infected batch with a plate chiller? And did you sanitize it properly? Seems like a lot of naysayers out there, but the people...

Good idea. A "ladies of Homebrewtalk.com" calandar shoot to follow!

well, i do like me some cheese! But, maybe not in the beer. Looks like I'm out a couple bucks! Thanks.

After a little research.....that looks like a pain in the ass! And a 6-9 month wait? I'm a little too impatient for that. Maybe I'll just throw them in a batch as a dry hop & if I get any aroma out of them, it's a bonus. Thanks for the suggestions though.
