Still green to the homebrewing experience, only a couple wheats under my belt. Last batch was a partial mash, woo! Anywho, I have about 2lbs of wheat DME leftover from the last batch and wanting to branch out a bit. I enjoy most types of beer, but wanting a session beer for spring. If I add...

Took my sweet time setting up a recipe for my third batch. I was going to try a partial mash. Got my grains in the mail (munich) and realized I forgot to order them crushed. Spent about an hour with a rolling pin and eventually just called it good. Mashed 1# of the munich and a half pound of...

Just threw together a quick and easy wheat recipe with I have around the house. Just wondering what yall think of it. Making 3.5gal, since I only have a 5gal fermenter. 4#s Wheat DME 1# Munich Malt 1oz Liberty (60min) 0.5oz Liberty (40min) 0.5oz Liberty (10min) Danstar Munich Yeast...

Just bottled a honey wheat ale this weekend and wanting to fill up the fermenter with malty goodness. Just not sure what to make. I am comfortable with extract brews and specialty grains. Looking at making an easy Hefe, but open to other ideas. Only two brews under my belt so bear that in...

Just taking some gravity readings on a honey wheat I'm making, and a name for it finally popped into my head. After years away, I've finally settled back down in my home town. So I thought hey! Hometown Honey Wheat has a nice ring to it! I'm not sure if anyone else is using that name or not...

So I bottled my Mr Beer kit after the two weeks as per instructions. Didn't take gravity readings, didn't know about them when I did this kit. The beers been bottled for two weeks now, and I just tossed one in the freezer and let it cool. Cracked the seal and it isn't as carbed as I thought...

Now I understand airlock activity is no sure sign of fermentation but after 72hrs of being in the fermenter I've not had any activity at all. The bucket is sealed tight. When I press lightly on the lid, the cap inside the airlock will move up and down. So I have CO2 in the bucket, but no...

Just brewed (correct term?) my first batch without a kit and I wanted to say thanks to everyone on the forums. All you guys who post tidbits to help us newbies along, I thank you! Picking up a little here and there made the overall experience much smoother. Just pitched the yeast and put on the...

Might be a dumb question but I cannot find an answer online. I have a 12qt stock pot, but I am wanting to make a 3 gallon batch of home brew. Can I put one gallon of clean water into my fermenter, then add cooled wort to get me to the 3 gallon mark? I don't want to risk a boil over in the...

Alright! I am looking to make a "trial" beer to help me fine tune some brewing methods. While I would thoroughly love this beer to be "perfect", I realize that isn't going to happen with my second attempt at brewing. So far, here is the recipe I am looking to brew: Batch: 3 gal (made a 5gal...

Hey all! New to the hobby, and really don't have a lot of experience. I am looking into brewing a honey wheat beer. This project is probably a couple weeks away as I tweak a recipe. I am looking into doing a 2-3 gallon batch as I figure out what I do and do not like. Here are my thoughts...

Got a Mr. Beer brewing kit over the holidays, did some research, brewed the beer. It is currently fermenting. After the enjoyment of my first trial (rather during), I'm left feeling a bit empty. Cannot wait to try my hand and some extract brewing. Also in the process of buying equipment and I...
