hmmm...no wort to test...yet, but I'll certainly do that when I do. My refractometer has readings 1.000 - 1.070 on one side and 0-100 in increments of 5 on the other. So, not sure how that would translate over, guess I'll find out if it does, hopefully soon.

Yeah, I love Shock Top too...so sweet or bitter orange, I'm a fan...lol

I have one that I used back when I have a saltwater fish tank to measure the salinity of the water. Can it be used in beer making?

Well, not sure to be honest. I am new to this. One of my favorite commercial brews is Bluemoon which has the orange and coriander. Not trying to make a clone but since it's a flavor profile I like, I figured using the same spices would get me something enjoyable. I also really enjoy Hoengaarden...

Input? Things to change or go for it? 3.3 pounds of wheat extract (60 minute boil) 1/2 pound wheat dry malt extract @ 15 mins 1/4 oz Hallertau @ 60 minutes, 1/4 oz @ 15 minutes 1/2 oz coriander @ 15 minutes? 1/2 oz bitter orange peel @ 30 minutes? German Wheat Activator Wyeast ACT3333 after...

Great info. I'll definitely go for the larger bucket then. Thanks everyone!

Thanks. The buckets I saw at the shop were labeled as 5 gallon but there was easily another gallon or more above the 5 gallon marking on the side...will this work or should I get an actual marked 6 or 6.5 gallon bucket?

Just wondering about container size. I want to try my first batch but I want to keep it a small batch, but I wouldn't mind going ahead and getting a 5 gallon bucket for future larger batches. So, can I do an initial fermentation of a 2.5 to 3 gallon batch in a 5 gallon bucket? If not, would...

So I'm thinking this: 3.3 pounds of wheat extract (60 minute boil) 1/2 pound wheat dry malt extract @ 15 mins 1/2 oz Hallertau @ 60 minutes 1/2 oz coriander @ 60 minutes? 1/2 oz orange peel (bitter or sweet?) @ 60 minutes? Weihenstephan Weizen smack pack after cool down. Going for a 2.5 to 3...

Thanks again for the info. I am getting ready to give this a go. Hoping to get it started this weekend or early next week. I think I am going to do a small batch, like 2.5 gallons to start, that way I don't really need to buy any additional equipment, I can used what I have. I guess really all...

I work in the medical industry. As far as I know, there's no filter in line on a tank. Not the ones used in the field or that COPDer's haul around. It's the tank, regulator, mask/nasal cannula. In the hospital, they use filtered air in the rooms, but we also use the same tanks as in the field...

Awesome...thanks everyone!!! I'll definitely post up my process once I get it going.

I am heading to the semi-local home brew store today to see what they have to offer. I really want to do a witbier or Hefeweizen and this will be my first time brewing beer. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a reason why a beginner shouldn't start with this style. It will be from extract...
