When I made my cherry wheat with fresh cherries, i just pitted/washed froze/thaw dumped them into secondary. RDWHAHB. No infections and the beer turned out great!

Thanks GF. I will try that out next time. I wanted to try the cherries from my tree this round.

Added about 2oz of Cherry Extract. Hope it turns out great! Thanks again!

Cool thanks for the tips and ideas.

I just tasted the sample of my cherry wheat. I used 5lbs fresh cherries (5gal batch) and didn't really notice much cherry flavor coming through. Primary 2 weeks Secondary with cherries for 10 days. Should I add some cherry extract or just leave it and chalk it up as just a wheat beer...

I'm in East Peoria. Just started this year I have 4 brews under my belt. There is this group > http://hop.bradley.edu/ I haven't been yet. Meet 2nd Tuesday every month at Kelleher's

Dang hope it's not the regulator I already had to get one replaced (no charge)

I should say the psi is reading higher on the keg that has been sitting for weeks (carb'd / hooked up / not touched)

I have the dual regulator for my 2 kegs. I've had one keg carb'd for about 3-4 weeks just fine, no loss in co2. I hooked my other keg up the other day all seems good. Then after a few days I started noticing my co2 amount I have left dropping. So clearly I have a leak somewhere. My question...

I have the Kenmore 7.2. Tank on the hump and 2 pin lock kegs and I think I can cold crash a carboy in there. So there is definitely room for 3.

I am a total newb to kegging. I want to put my co2 tank on the hump of my chest freezer, but with the regulator attached the lid does not close. Can I have the gauges parallel to the floor? I know you can do a collar build, but I do not want too much beer stuff going on. Need to keep the wife...

Picked up a new Kenmore 7.2 cubic ft. Been messing with the screw for past 2 days and I think i got it. I believe it is turned CW all the way in, then I backed it off 4 full rotations, and the dial is set in the middle. (Which was my goal incase if I have to turn it higher/lower) Have a couple...

Thanks jonmohno. The last bottles i'll put in the fridge and put a do not drink sign on them! Otherwise i'll be tempted!

Homebrewdad - Yea I'm a newbie to brewing. It doesn't have the cardboard taste. Ill have to let the next one sit. Only have a few bottles left. I do agree with others closer to the end of the batch it gets better! JeffoC6 - I love the simpsons! Plus my last name is Burns

That could be I did NOT use a bottle filler oops just poured it straight into the bottles. D'oh

So I brewed my first beer an Irish red extract kit from midwest. Dang is it good however I'm running out! ha. Anyway I was wondering why it seems that the first taste of the beer is kind of like a kick in the mouth, then after that it is smooth on to the bottom of the glass. 1 week...

Thanks for the info. My wife and I have been down to southern a few times for the wine, and last time on the trail I saw a big muddy brew and tried it. It was good. I had the sasquatch one. (don't recall the name) I'll have to hit up hanger 9 next time!
