Wit Beer ready for a hydrometer reading. It's settled a lot more since then. But this is before it entered the primary.

We're all cleared up! Got those babies out the door to ya man! Hope you like them! Cheers, Joe :mug:

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the clarification! I will be transferring my Witbeir tonight to my secondary. So far she's looking GRRREAT! Cheers, Joe :mug:

Thanks again guys! I just brewed that recipe with flaked wheat. I know it will change it slightly but I could not find any raw flaked wheat. I really liked the flavor that it produced in the wort. We'll see how it turns out! I see raw wheat, flaked wheat, and malted wheat but no raw...

Very nice Stout Man! Looks like you've been doing this for a while. :D The hops I have is very similar to Tettnanger. I don't know exactly what variety it is but it smells and tastes very similar. I'm trying to get an Alpha Acid test done on it here before things warm up. It seems like it...

I don't mean to sound like a smart ass but I mean this honestly. I was reading Homebrewing for Dummies in the bookstore yesterday and noticed that it had a great section on off flavors. I advise you to check it out. Please don't take me the wrong way. I am actually concidering purchasing...

My yeast was fine. :) I just wanted to let all of you know that it turned out to be very tastey. I've almost drank all of it. LOL The hop bitterness mellowed out very nicely. It just keeps getting better with age. Now I'm working on a Helles Bock. I will be bottleing it here this...

Thanks again all! Yeah a Montana sub-group would be great! As for the fellow in Helena, I lived there for a few years myself. :) Joe :mug:

Hey all, It's been a while since I've been on the forums... I see that this thread has seen some good action. I would like to mention that maybe we should stick to exchanges within everyones given states. I am a forestry student here in Montana and know all too well about disease and...

Thanks guys! Well the deal is this... The homebrew store I go to only seems to carry the malted flaked wheat. They had no idea what my recipe called for which was raw wheat flakes. Unfortunately the recipe does not go into detail what the ingrediants used were, nor does the book. The...

Hey all, Well I have had success recently with my first batch ever and it being a wee heavy AG batch at that. It's excellent. I have a Helles Bock in my secondary right now as well. :D Anyhow, I'm getting ready to start my third batch and was curious what the difference was between flaked...

-30 F here the other weekend when I made a batch. :mug: Cold works in favor though when lagering. :D Although it's been up in the +40F range here lately. It needs to get colder damn it!

Thanks guys! I checked out Brew Smith and have downloaded but not listened to the Malt Analysis brew strong episode. Brew Smith looks pretty awesome... I came up with one recipe already. I'm thinking that might have to be an X Mas gift... Cheers! Joe

Why would you put them into the secondary vs. the primary?

Glad to finally get some interest in this thread. I actually have access to some other strains here growing on campus. Yes they actually have labelled known varieties. ;-) It would be nice to get something like this seeded now and start a yearly trade (where legally accepted).

How much whole coffee do you guys think you'd need for a 5.5 gallon batch? I would be adding cracked beans into my primary. Thanks! Cheers, Joe

The hops are growing in Twin Bridges, MT. Joe

Well I'd really like to do some manipulation of some recipes and was curious as to what references mean when they talk about specific gravity points per pound of grain / per gallon. For example they say "A conservative average yield of 1.025 to 1.030 SG points per pound / per gallon is...

I checked with Kona Brewing Co. and they aren't releasing anything to the public as it is proprietary LOL. Too bad I already found the ingredient list elsewhere. LOL Well I think this recipe might have to do. I won't be brewing it for a little while though. I have to gather more bottles...
