Anybody? Bueller? I figure it has to be an infected batch.

"Skeeter Pee" No, I'm not making this up.

But it never took very long in prior batches, in cooler temperatures, which has me concerned. I pitched one week ago, and there are still carbonation fizzies rising, though Krausen has fallen.

OK, I understand it is quite a bit different than liquid yeasts like 3068, I like the dry yeasts as they are convenient and long lasting. The last few batches seemed to attenuate well, I'm not super skilled with hydrometer readings, but right around 1.010 or better. I will say it is reasonably...

Hey gang. I have a question about Batch #4 currently in the fermenter. I'm a beginning extract brewer. Batches 1 thru 3 are in various stages of bottle conditioning and pretty tasty. I purchased several pounds of Briess and Muntons wheat DME to try and make some Hefeweizens. WB-06 dry yeast...

I've been exbeerimenting trying to not have quite so much sediment with my Hefes, obviously they always have some but not so much as homebrew. There will be plenty of yeast for carbonation for your beer, even if you were to primary for weeks and cold crash a bit to bright and clear the beer...

Yes, I really want to do that. I'm not a huge wine fan, but I like a glass now and then, and just on general principles it should be available in just about any household when the mood strikes, even if just for guests. Considerate host and all, natch. I find the fermentation process quite...

Good question, if there is I haven't really heard about it. I was told talking on the phone to a local hop grower that the local craft breweries/pubs are very supportive of homebrewers. I didn't ask what that means exactly. Maybe supplying house strains of our yeastie friends, things like that...

It's my understanding with some Bavarian Hefe's for example, they filter the beer and then use a specific lager yeast for bottle conditioning.

Thanks guys. Cedar Falls, where surprisingly there aren't really any dedicated brew shops, for a college town. Wine, yes. There is however a local hop grower I need to check out. Looks like the closest HBS is in Marion, near Cedar Rapids. I bought quite a lot of Briess wheat malt so I'm...
