I hear those "1 oz" bottles" are really tough to fill!

Having a helper definately helps. I had Star Wars on last night too! Was listening to it more than watching though.

Hence the obligatory kegging reference.....Hopefully I will get there some day! :mug:

Just curious...what size bottles to you use? I really like the 22 oz bottles, but find that 12 oz are easier to come by.

I read through your thread a few month's ago and actually use the dip tube in the bottling bucket idea. It works great! 45 min is really fast BTW.

Last night I bottled 5 gallons of BM’s Loon Lake Smoked Porter and realized that I finished quicker than normal. Bottling is easily my least favorite part of the brewing process, so I really try to go as fast as possible. Kegging would be really nice, but I currently have other beer related...

IP...I am having the same issue with the gravity not dropping enough. Are you thinking about repitching? My last reading (tonight) came in at apx 1.027 (this was after swirling it around a bit on Friday). I think you mentioned that you had some similar issues with Safale-04 in the past.

I took a hydro sample and tasted some...The smokiness definately came through....

I am so sorry for your loss.

Nice thread! I have long wondered why I have a twanginess aftertaste in my extract brews. Will be curious to see what the outcome of this experiment is. Prosting this thread

On a side note I found this extract kit that kind of resembles the style. Any ideas on how to adapt to BM's recipe. http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/witbier-extract-kit-2.html

Has anyone been able to convert this recipe to extract? I won't have the ability to brew AG for a few month's and wanted to make this recipe as soon as possible with my current set up. Thanks in advance!

IP, what was the fermentation range for our Yeast (60 - 75 I think)? Mine has been holding steady around 71. Kinda high...

I have to take some responsibility for the boil over. When I realized what was happening, I just turned down the burner instead of turning it off...Luckily we didn't loose much!

Are you using a fermentation chamber or refrigerator to control the temps? I have been fermenting at what ever temp my basement is. In the summer it is close to 65, but a little colder in the winter.

That actually works out pretty well for me. This month is pretty much shot as we have two weddings and who know what else. Next month isn't much better. I'll see Tim tonight and will ask him about his groups next brew day. I'll let you know what their plans are.

I forgot to mention that you may have a buyer for your 10 Gallon system if you upgrade. :ban:

I am definately up for splitting another batch. Had a really good time and learned a bunch (including never take your eyes off the boil while ordering pizza) :-) When are you looking at doing another batch?

I'll give that a shot too. After tasting a Black Pepper Wit from IrregularPulse over the weekend i realized that I had a problem. Probably would have thought it was normal had I not tried someone elses homebrew.

That sounds plausible. I'll make sure to save a few bottles so we can compare. That will definately help narrow this down. I actually have one more set of extract ingredients for a Blonde Ale. I will also plan to substitute in some filtered water when preparing it. I guess if the after taste is...
