You guys were right, just a little young. Gave it a try last night, and it's pretty damn good. I'll let it sit another week.

gotcha, thanks. I'll give it another week or two and try it. Also, just wondering, does using two packages of yeast per 5 gallon batches hurt anything? The home brew shop said it's better than one?

Oh crap! I'm sorry guys, I gave you the recipe for my Odell's Easy Street Wheat clone! Ahhhh, sorry. The last recipe I listed was the one I used. Except I had to use different yeast and hops.

Unfortuantly every time I go to my local home brew shop they don't have the same yeast and hops, so this recipe is a little different. My first recipe was as follows: 8 lbs Pale Malt Extract 1 Lb Dextrine / Carafoam 1 Lb Melanoiden Malt 1.5 Lbs Caramunich I 1 pkg WY German Ale Yeast OG 1.060...

Hi guys, just brewed my second Octoberfest. My first batch was delicious, my second batch has a tart finish. I'm thinking my problem may have been my incomplete straining of my hops. The gentleman at the local brew store told me that I could just perform a simple strain and then siphon off...

Hi everyone! Just started brewing, I'm 3 batches in and love it. Only problem is I can't drink the beer fast enough to warrant another batch! Anyways, have lots of questions and I'm sure I'll find lots of answers.
