Alright so, I could not be happier with my first real non canned brew. I am very happy to say it (to my amazement) Does taste very similar to wells banana bread beer! I have a bottle of the real stuff and am doing a side-by-side comparison and wow, its just amazing. It's not Exact, but it's...

The yeast calls for 68-72 so im not too far off, im actually trying to loosely follow the banana bomb recipe. On another note SWMBO is now enforcing a no beer in the bedroom policy 😯

Well I decided to go ahead with the DME cream ale kit and use WLP300. - Pitched yeast at 80f - Fermenting at 75f - I am also Open Fermenting w/cheese cloth over the top. After 24 hours my bedroom wreaks of banana! So far so good

Very interesting, I would simply give the partial mash kits a try but they arent available in my area. The Brew House style box kits are though, can you make some quality brews with those? Unionrdr do you have a recipe for a wheat ale using the cans?

I have the cleanliness down pat, but the temperature could use some work.. Is 75°F ok? If I added specialty grains to the kit would I still brew the same 5 Gallon volume? Will swapping out the yeast for something else make a significant difference?

TLDR: Brewed canned kits from store, all tasted the same and slightly sour.. any tips? Not sure what you call them but those kits you buy from the grocery store (coopers for instance). Are there any suggestions to coming up with a better tasting beer with these kits? Ive tried an...

I thought that might work out better but im having trouble finding a hefe kit in canada. I may give the cream ale + wlp300 a try but it'd be sad if it turned out like piss water for my first real brew. 😔 Will post here though with results if i do go ahead with it.

Very interesting! I would have given that a shot but it's an all grain recipe and too advanced for me just yet. My main concern is do you think WLP300 will work with a non wheat recipe?

Being new to brewing (only ever brewed the malt cans) I would like to jump into something strange for my first real brew. Banana Cream Ale! :ban: I would like to do something similar to Wells Banana Bread Ale, and have settled on Schlenkerla's recipe found here...

I am very new to brewing having done some malt kits from supermarkets, but I badly want to make this since I love Wells Banana bread beer. Would this work? 2x BRIESS WHEAT DME 3LB 1x CARAPILS 1 LB 1x WLP300 HEFEWEIZEN ALE YEAST 2x CZECH SAAZ 1 OZ Why was the hops seperated into two...

Doing tons of reading (mostly on these forums) but wanted to ask this before I forgot. 1) Is sani-brew safe on your hands? 2) I am using a canned brew kit (http://www.smartliketruck.com/images/beerdonebetter/beer-kit.jpg) After siphoning to the carboy and the conditioning phase...
