I like this beer very much. A Belgian Double IIPA 130 IBU's Great tasting brew. I only wish I had a case instead of a six pack.

I had the same problem trying to find out what my Bicabonate level was, so I contacted my water company and the Chemist e-mailed me this formula Total alkalinity = carbonates and bicarbonates. Take total alkalinity and subtract p. alkalinity to give you your bicarbonate alkalinity. I...

Thanx for the reply, I'm feeling better about this now. I'll give it till the end of summer before I open another botttle, besides I have a case of the real stuff if I want a Westie 12.

I rolled each bottle and put them away. I know I'm just worried, but I put a lot of time and money into this batch for something to go wrong, But have you had this problem before and How did you deal with it?

This is what I got. I brewed an extract version of a Westvleteren 12 Clone 7 lbs Briess Sparking Amber (13.0 SRM) Extract 53.85 % 2 lbs 12.0 oz Briess Pilsen Light (3.0 SRM) Extract 21.15 % 8.0 oz Aromatic Malt (17.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 % 8.0 oz Caramunich Malt (48.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 %...

I'd say your going for super hoppy, about 102 IBU's, Your SG sound to be about 1.071 Your bitterness ratio is about 1.440 IBU/SG IF you like hoppy brew it, but a bit too hoppy for me.

I would add two more pounds of malt and only one of the other. Two pounds of honey and Corn sugar is too much for me.

Need more info, What did you do, How much extract,did you only use one can of extract?. Did you take a SG reading and if so what was it.

Aging beer is a good question, a high gravity well hopped beer will be good for years. I still have two bottles of 10 year old Strong Belgian dark ale. I had three at X-mas but cracked one open with a friend. Still had some carbonation, taste was nice, my friend loved it. I thought a little...

I love Weizen, My first homebrew. You need to wait let the bottles age, the flavors will blend and it should be better.

I agree with others watch your efficiency with batch sparge, I usually get 68-70 percent.

Thanx for the advise. I was shooting for a 60 min boil, but the pizza guy came in the middle of brewing. When I went back to the brew pot, the burner was out I just added the time I was away from the pot to the overall boil time. Let me see how it taste Then next time I'll try the extra hop...

Just to say hi to all the fellow brother and sister brewers, I've started brewing back in 94 and did belong to a brewing club. I had to stop for a while, sometimes life throws a curve ball that you can't seem to hit. Plus most of my equipment was lost when my basement got flooded out a few...
