What beer styles usually produce a high ABV? I think IPA's usually do.

So today is day 8 in the primary. I'm brewing a hefe and since my bubbling had came to a stop I would do a hydro sample to see if I'm done. I have never had any issues do samples on my last batch but this one I could not get a good accurate reading. Sometimes it would look like 1.020 and if I...

So, your saying that the white plastic buckets don't allow uv rays to get through?:ban:

bump for response.

I didn't think it would hurt anything since it was in a bucket but the more and more I've been thinking about it the more concern I have grown. I know in a plastic or glass carboy it will ruin your beer but what about the primary bucket? I have been primary fermenting in the bucket for about 8...

What about the primary fermenter? It's in that white container. Do UV rays go through that, because I have been fermenting in my primary in my kitchen for the last 8 days. It doesn't get direct sunlight but it definitely gets ambient light during the day.

I'll be brewing my Hefe Oat tomorrow. I have never steeped oats before. My brewmaster told me to steep at 160F for 30 minutes. Then you have to sparge. That's where I'm a little iffy about. Do I sparge into another container with water and is the temperature the same or different?

Congrats. I've had my first brew in the bottle conditioning for almost 2 weeks now. 1 week to go!! I already bought another kit (Hefe Oat) and I think I will do that one tonight.

That's exactly what I thought about doing. Steeping the oats and caramel in another pot and then adding it in at the end of the brewing process.

I don't know what DME means. Also, i don't know the difference between a partial and full boil is. Could you clarify this please?

bump for help.

I can't do it because it's the trial version. I have to buy the program to do that. :(

I don't have a clue what you are talking about. My brewmaster put the oats and caramel together in a steeping bag. That's all I know at this point.

Alright, I'm doing my second brew and I went to my local brewery and had the owner put together a Hefe Oat brew kit together. Here are the list of ingredients. Yeast: Fermentis Safbrew WB-06 Malts/ Fermentables: Muntons Dry Light Extract 2lbs Muntons Dry Wheat Extract 3lbs Oats...

I haven't made this yet but my local brewer put this together for me. Hopefully, I can look around and figure out the procedures to making the brew. It is a Hefe Oat. Yeast: Safbrew WB-06 Malts/Fermentables: Muntons Dry Light Extract 2.00 lb Muntons Dry Wheat Extract 3.00 lb Oats...

I will say that I really enjoyed the Budweiser American Ale as well. It shocked me that it tasted as good as it did. I never expected a huge commercial beer like Budweiser to make something as crafty as they have.

They have widgets in the Guiness bottles in tennessee

I'm guessing that TG means target gravity..? If such the case the TG for my brew was 1.012-1.014

My FG was 1.016. I shouldn't have bottle bombs with that FG should I?

Like the title states I cracked open my first brew tonight. I did what everyone recommends, I drank one after a couple of days to get an idea of why its better to wait. I bottled the beers on Monday and today is Friday and that's a little over 5 days and the beer already tasted great. I didn't...
