    Adding Apricot?

    It's been in the primary for about two weeks. I added the fruit 5 days ago and noticed the fermentation kicked up for 2 days. How long should I let it go? And what could I make at home with the left over apricot puree?

    Reducing batch size? Hop amount?

    Thanks, do you think these hops will work well with an amber ale? I have little experience and I am going off mainly hop descriptions, until I acually smell n taste each hop, I'm just kinda building blindly.

    2nd brew, Hefeweizen advice

    Hi all, the WB-06 ABV is Aprox 5.25 and the WLP300 is Aprox 5.51, the WLP had a much better smell, IMO and the sample tasted better! I ended up getting 18 bottles total. I used the bb drops as they seemed to work fine with my previous batch.
