My SWMBO bought me a book: brooklyn brew show 52 seasonal beers. Several interesting ideas, has anyone tried any of these?

Most extract batches have you add extract as soon as you are up to a boil. Would it be acceptable to wrist and add with 15 minutes remaining in the boil. Would this significantly affect your IBUs?

Witbier is ok, wirbier is where it is at... Ok so I'm not so good at proof reading my posts. Your beer looks great. Good color. Mine seems a little darker, but usually does look that way when in carboy. Is your beer a kit or all grain?

This was a Brewers Best kit. My fourth batch to brew. A few more steps to this kit. Also it was my first use of my homemade wort chiller. Went pretty well.

Brewers best: American Pale Ale

Exactly, I felt this was a gag from the beginning, but still chose to offer advice. Well said.

The problem is most definetly an air leak. The laws of physics say so. The leak may not be at a connection, you may have a pin hole in the wall of your racking cane, tubing, or bottling wand. The hole is in the area where you are noticing the turbulence in the lines.

are you transferring to a secondary? Dont be in a hurry to make the transfer. from pic you may still have active fermentation going on. the more out clears now the better you will be come bottling time

after they have dried, o found mixed results. some are stick on pretty good, others have fallen off just by touching the label.

well they started off with me drinking a few of my brews, then I had an idea to make some labels. I used the "microsoft paint" that came on my computer. the paper is regular printer paper. for the red ale, I used a candle to discolor the labels and burn the edges. fire the apa I soaked the...

according to my numbers I under pitched yeast. now that fermentation should be complete, I am not hitting my anticipated FG. so I was assuming that it is sure to initially under pitching?

made up some quick labels on the computer for a couple of my brews. I'm only labeling the the ones that are going to be gifts, for those that have listened to my brewing adventures.

I have a similar issue with an imperial stout, can additional yeast be pitched to finish it out, our is it best to leave as is?

Had me some Sun King last night. had two 22oz draft, wee mac good stuff

At two weeks in the bottle of my first brew, the beer was terrible. no carb and flavor was terrible. at three weeks it was changing. at four weeks it was great, lots of head and wonderful taste. it was told to me to store it at around 70 degrees, and that seems to be working.

I have no idea on how much increase in the ibu(bitterness) that you will see, there are software programs you can use to calculate. but if you sampled when you took your hydrometer reading then you will have an idea of that. to add the extract now, imho, could be a mistake. you would have to...

have you already pitched the yeast? If so, I would leave it alone and see what you get. I would suspect your IBUs will be higher than intended.

how was the carbonation on the first beer, and what method did you use to add primming sugar at bottling?
