Ed, This stuff is so good I am making another batch right now using the same, undadulterated recipe - why mess with a proven winner, right?! What is the lowest temp you have successfully fermented at using the Montrachet yeast? Thanks. BrewStef

I could use your input as well as I am about to start my first lager this Saturday. I purchased the Maibock kit from Northern Brewer (1.064 SG), and they only provided one smack pack of Bohemian Lager. Their instructions didn't say anything about a starter, which is astonishing to even a...

Why bother with a starter...this thing ferments well as is without a starter...actually it ferments GREAT without a starter.

Maybe your IT Dept are a bunch of fizzy-yellow-beer drinking lugnuts that hate homebrew/microbrew/tastybrew and are blocking you from accessing that site. :(

It is normal for there to be no airlock activity during secondary, provided that fermentation was complete during primary. If you are getting airlock activity in the secondary, it is usually because you transferred too early or possible infection. Take a gravity reading, you are probably...

Interesting...very quick! What yeast do you recommend?

Hi EdWort, Your Apfelwein recipe was a hit, SWMBO and I loved it along with everyone else who tried it. What is your recipe for Federweisser? Cheers! :mug: BrewStef

EdWort, Awesome recipe, awesome Apfelwein. I bottled last night and had my first drink and it blew me away. Very smooth, crisp but not too dry, slightly effervescent. I was suprised how compact how little and how compact the lees were. The Apfelwein was perfectly clear. I had it in...

That was funny....my four year old got a hold of the keyboard when I left it alone. Ok...thats my story and I am sticking to it. :)

Midnight Brewing Company. Why? Because SWMBO will only let me brew when she and the kids are in bed. Because of this I am usually done by 1am. Hey, at least she lets me brew...

It is Green Flash Brewing company at: http://www.greenflashbrew.com/ They are out of Vista.

Greetings, I did not use a secondary for my first brew...an amber ale. Now I do it for most beer styles (but not hefeweizens). Go ahead and bottle it so long as it has been in primary for at least a full week, prefrably 2 if not transferring to secondary. Do a secondary next time if...

Ok. What do y'all prefer? Still or sparkling Apfelwein? Thanks.

No, you ar not alone. I inhale, er...sniff, and I like to watch.

It is my understanding that it is best to decant the liquid off lager starters as lagers are more susceptible to "off flavors" which you may get from preparing a starter (especially if you use a stirplate)...plus lager starters are larger than ale starters and it would be best not to dilute your...

Have any of you made mead with Lager yeast? If so, what was the strain an what were your results? I am only brewing in my garage now and it does not get any warmer than 65...fermentation freezer is staying between 60 and 65 (without being turned on.) Cheers :mug: BrewStef

I am going though the same debate with myself. I like both still and sparkling meads. I have heard that sparkling meads are best with lower starting-OG meads however. My decision: do both. I am going to bottle carb half the batch. Cheers! BrewSTef

I am married to my first wife. Based on the poll results, it looks like homebrewing is good for marriage.

1-Stone IPA 1-Stone Ruination 6-Avery Hog Heaven 5-SN Celebration (tasted it last night after hearing the hype...yes it IS good!) What style is it? 1-Fat Tire Amber 2-Stone 10th Anniversary IPA (best IPA ever, IMHO)
