A woman walks into a bar with a duck on her arm. The guy sitting next to her says "Where did you get that pig?" The woman says "you fool. That's not a pig it's a duck." The guy says "I was talking to the duck."

At about 3AM, I was drunk as a skunk. I came home just in time to hear the cuckoo clock cuckoo three times. Quickly coming up with a plan, I cuckooed nine more times, hoping my wife would think it was midnight. I was very proud of myself. The next day, my wife asked what time I got home, and...

I used the 4oz Raspberry extract on my last wheat beer and added it to the bottling bucket like the instructions said. I think that the raspberry taste was way too strong. I would recommend putting half the raspberry extract in the beer. Unless you like a real strong raspberry flavor then go...

Did you use twist off bottles vs the pry off ones. I heard the twist off ones will leak and that they should not be used for bottling. I use nothing but the pry off bottles and have never had an issue with them. Good luck !!! :mug:

I use one of these http://www.midwestsupplies.com/dial-thermometer.html

I rinse my bottles out right after i pour them in the glass then hang them on the bottle tree to dry out. When i am ready to bottle my next batch i just sanitize and have never had a problem. :mug:

Ive used the Muntons yeast many times. I just rehydrate it for 10 minutes and pour into wort. Never had any issues with it.

I have made quite a few Cologne Kolsh with the Wyeast 2565 activator and ferment it at 60 F It has taken mine at least 2 weeks to finish fermenting. Take your hydro readings and make sure its stable. Good luck its a great beer.... :mug:

Leave it in the primary for 3 to 4 weeks and bottle. Then leave them in the bottle for at least another 2 to 3 weeks around 70 out of the sun and light. Then put in the fridge for a couple days and enjoy.

If you do ferment 5 gallon batches in it use a blowoff tube.

I started to add this right before the boil. Never have a problem with boil overs anymore. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/fermcap-s-foam-inhibitor-1-oz.html

You can get a rubber grommet to fit in the hole on the bucket lid. Here is the link. As far as those bubbles i agree with GRHunter. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/replacement-rubber-grommet.html

Forgot the link to it... http://www.midwestsupplies.com/cologne-kolsch.html

Its an extract recipe. Haven't jumped to the all grain yet. But here is the link if you are interested in brewing it. Its a light ale with a slight fruity taste to it. If you like that kind of beer you will not be disappointed. Its my 3rd batch i made so far and my favorite. :rockin:

Brewing a Colgne Kolsch right now. One of my favorite...:mug:

Add the hops to the boiling water after you steep the grain.

Do your buddy a favor and just tell him to buy some beer from the store. I dont see how you could make a Home Brew taste that good in 3 weeks. Plus he may turn them all off from ever trying to homebrew. I may be wrong though.

Congrats Bam, I started drinking my first batch that i made after one week in the bottle. They were carbed up nice and tasted great. Even my buddy liked the beer it was a Cologne Kolsch. I have to get my but in gear and make more cause this batch will not last long.
