I'm in the same boat as the OP here. Lately I been focusing on malt forward style beers. I cringe when I hear the term "hophead".

I made a Dunkelweizen using danstar munich yeast which I fermented at 75 degrees and it was definitely a butterbomb. After I primed and bottled the butter is still there but not as pronounced as during pre-bottle.

Give it time. When I used BRY-97 it took about 24 hours to get going.

My first two brews where 5 gallon kits which included 6.6# LME and about 1# specialty grains each. Since then, I decided to experiment a bit and try my own recipes or tweaking others. All of my recipes are a base of 6# DME and about 1-1.5# specialty malts. So the issue I have is that the two...

I began by brewing several 5 gallon kits, and for the sake of continuous and experimental brewing I scaled down to 3 and 1 gallon brews. It's got its plusses and minuses. I can make more variety and in the event of a bad batch not have to worry about discarding 5 gallons. But for the effort and...

Every time I brew or bottle I crack open a few and when I'm done I'm like, "Did I forget to do something? ". I think we ALL forget 'something'.

We'll I also forgot to add that since I let the dunkelweizen ferment at room temp. It was a butterbomb. Luckily the chocolate malt kind of masked it......kind of.

I've only been brewing for the past 5 months. Anyways, back in November I was about to bottle a 2.5 gallon Dunkelweizen. As I siphoned the beer into the bottling bucket I began to hear a splashing sound on the ground. I had the spigot in the ON position. I lost about 12 ounces of beer. It was...
