But the fact you're from one of my favorite places on the planet (Galway) I find it that much easier to forgive you! Cheers.

:( I've already forgiven you for being completely wrong about that. The song has an interesting history between Kristofferson and Cash, but it was without question penned by the former. What is hard for me to comprehend is how easy it is to fact check such an item before "correcting" me...

Forgot all the great Kristofferson songs, including Me and Bobby McGee and Sunday Morning Comin' Down. The greatest line in music is from that song..."Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for...

I hope this is in the right thread: I'm trying to make a black cherry flavored Wheat Beer. In the past I've made cherry wheat using four oz of cherry extract (mostly alcohol) added just before bottling. Now I have a pint of pure black cherry concentrate that has 14g sugar per tablespoon...

You're the second to tell me the exact same thing.

Sorry if this has been covered. I'm rather inexperienced. I'm brewing a Hefe that is normally ready for bottling in 10 days. If I want to do a secondary rack can I siphon it into the bottling bucket, clean the primary bucket and then siphon it back in? What would be the advantage of this and...

It's now about 1.012. I'm assuming this means it worked. It tasted like beer when I licked the hydrometer clean! LOL

Yes. I did go by lack of bubbles. I have made it before and was sure it bubbled like hell. The yeast was what was included in the kit. The second yeast was what I was given at the brewery store. Just active, dry yeast. Sorry for being an idiot, but what is kraeusen? Have not taken a...

Started an easy (or so I thought) stout three days ago. I've pitched yeast twice and it won't take off. Any ideas what I've done wrong? I keep it in the closet at about 70 degrees. I'm at a loss.

How do you calculate this. My initial gravity reading was 1.045. Bottling today and will be taking a reading. Thanks.

I've added that to my favorites section. Thanks!

I'm appreciative of the quick response.

Hi all. I'm new to brewing and have noticed a lot of terms I'm not familiar with. I didn't see a glossary on this site, so I thought I would post the terms I don't know. Feel free to answer those you know. Thanks All grain Secondary Fermenter (how is this done?) Repitch yeast...

I've got a pilsner fermenting (8th day) and has really slowed down but isn't quite done. Is it too late to add fruit puree? Never done this before and this is only the 4th batch I've ever brewed. I plan on adding apricot flavoring prior to bottling, but puree sounds great.

I'm planning on using honey to carb a pilsner. Anyone have any experience with this? Does it do anything at all to the flavor? I'll be using clover honey BTW. I don't have a secondary fermenter. What does this do to the beer?
