I looked for a similiar thread, but couldn't find one. I would like to share my kegged Hefe with some guys at work. Should I just fill it up close to the top and cap it? I planned on keeping the bottle cold to keep in as much CO2 as possible. Or should I add a tad of sugar and then cap it...

Where did you get the pedobear sticker?!?!

I left mine at 32 for 36 hours and then 15 for an additional 24 hours. I had the first glass this evening and it needed a wee more co2. I will update tomorrow evening. I am leaving it at 15 until it tastes right. It is also a Hefe, which requires more co2 anyway... I planned on leaving my...

He let his ferment until it quit bubbling. He said it usually took 14 days.

My brewing friend told me that the homebrew I tried of his was 12% alcohol. I believed him. After doing some research, I asked him how he got 12% from an extract kit that had a target ABV of 6%. He said that he simply doubled the amount of wheat DME from 6 pounds to 12 pounds. He has never...

So my extract kit came with this whirlflock tablet. I researched it after I made my beer to find that it is to get rid of suspended particles in the beer. Isn't a Hefe supposed to have suspended yeast? How do I get it back? Also, 12 hours after I pitched my yeast, my bubbler was bubbling...

Thanks for the link - The only source I am using is Palmer's 'how to brew'. Is there anything else I need to know that isn't contained in the book? What is your opinion of using tin foil over an empty air lock on a primary?

Thanks guys.. I thought it was safe to assume that tin foil is sterile (enough)?

My yeast starter is ready to be refrigerated. It is one day after peak activity. But, I don't know how. (I will be brewing 48 hours from now) If I put it in there with the air lock, It will surely suck the vodka into the wort. If I put it in without the air lock, it seems like I am...

Thanks a lot for the input. I have read most of Palmer's how to brew. But, questions always arise. I am really anxious to find out about bottling out of a keg. I would prefer to keg the whole 5 gallons, since I don't have a great method of getting the air out the top of the corny keg. I am using...

So I am cooking my first batch on Thursday. Smacked the pack on Sunday, made my yeast starter on Monday, plan to put the starter in the fridge on Wednesday (it is still slowly bubbling as of Tuesday evening), and plan to cook my wort Friday morning. This is an extract kit (not liquid) A...

I am a student at Clemson University looking for a new hobby. Well, I can honestly say I have already found it. A friend at my co-op (like an internship) brought me a bottle of his homebrew for me to try. It was the best beer I have ever had. He told me he would teach me, but I have far...

So I am cooking my extract hefe on Thursday evening. Do I just let it ferment until the bubbles cease, then keg it? I'm also assuming I leave all the gunk at the bottom of the fermenter.. Also, could I keg the whole 5 gallons, then put some in a bottle with priming sugar and cap it? Would there...
