Lemon / Orange amber/wheat ale, just put it into secondary.

Good to know.

I just received a case of empty root beer bottles from a friend, I have read a few things about them holding the smell, I am more worried about bottle bombs. They are the short stubby bottles from a microbrew, looks like the same bottles they use for their beer. Has anyone had trouble using root...

You could try wearing latex gloves while bottling.

Mine took longer then normal to carbonate up, like 6 weeks, but now its carbonated, its an awesome brew. Thanks for the recipe dangerbrew

I bottled last weekend, I will post back in a week or two of how it tasted.

Upper 60s will work fine. FYI: With the yeast you got, it will make an clean refreshing American wheat, not a German wheat with clove, banana, and ester flavors. Just zest about an ounce or two of orange/lemon zest. Add it in the last 5 - 10 minutes of the boil or you can soak it in vodka for...

Are you making 2.5 gallons in your Mr. Beer keg or 5 gallons?

No I dont filter my water at all, previous beers have tasted fine. Anyway after 2 weeks, this beer taste much better, I am guessing if I let it cold crash for more then 24 hours it would help mellow out the taste. Now its time to HAHB

Just wanted to post back in-case anyone else referenced this post. Fermented for ~17 days @ 64 Fermented for 2 days @ 70 (I am sure this didn't do anything) I tried it last night, tasted really good with no off flavors. I am guessing the Belgian yeast took over if the saison works at...

I brewed the 2010 recipe of this, still carbonating up, but the taste is awesome. Anyway I used LME for this recipe, but at the end of the day, its really up to what you prefer.

Third base - micro brew White Star ale house - decent selection Field house - slightly smaller selection / good bar type of food

Nothing more then standard tap water. I have made a Mr. Beer Blonde ale before, and it didn't have this kind of taste.

It taste like a cleaning chemical, like lemon pine-sol. I have read a few post about a band-aid flavor, but I dont think its that. Anyway I am going to wait at least two weeks before I try again.

It could have been under pitched, I used US-05, it was half a pack left over from a previous brew, I never measured so I may have used to much the first brew.

I only have a hand full of brews under my belt, but I small extract batch of BM Centennial Blonde Ale in my Mr. Beer LBK. I modified the extract version for 2 gallons. http://hopville.com/recipe/1675718 It fermented for 3 weeks at 64f. I was lazy and didnt check the FG. It was really clear...

About a year and half ago, I was in a very small town in South Dakota. Just a little bar, I didnt expect them to have much for beer, so I asked the waitress, whats the darkest beer you have, she replied back Budweiser. I cringed a little, then she replied, oh we have Fat Tire, it was a moment of...

I brewed my first Belgian this weekend, I am trying to make something similar to GI Matilda, so I will call it Matilda-ish (http://hopville.com/recipe/1675217). my OG was around 1.060 @ 70f my LHBS didnt have any WLP560, but had some WLP568, I decided to be brave and try it. I brewed 3 days...

I just had some craft beer with that problem, but I think it was because the bottles were shaken up at an angle. I thought I did a poor job pouring the beer, but I was very cautious on the second bottle, and still had the same issue, maybe I should of waited a week before drinking for the yeast...
