Took a sample after a week in the primary. It was down to 1.010 and I did not like the taste of the sample, it tasted like my weisenbier that didn't turn out all that good. Hopefully 2 more weeks will clean it up.

Hey hey, more STL folks! Update on my apfelwein, I'm nearly 4 months since start and its holding steady at 8.5%. I think I am going to let it sit until the 6 month mark then bottle.

I read this entire thread a while back and I don't recall if it's recommended to keep the Apfelwein in the carboy the entire time (3-8months) or to rack into secondary to age or bottles once fermentation has completed.

I made Ed Wort's recipe almost by the book (I used brown sugar instead of dextrose). Mixed it all up on Feb 21st and my OG was 1.065, I was farting around on my day off moving my pale ale to the fridge and pulled a sample of the Apfelwein to see where it was at. It showed 1.010....so 7.2%. I...

good deal. Its been in the primary for a week, I'm going to let it sit for 1, maybe 2 more then bottle. Already planning my next batch just need to figure out when is better to start to keep a supply available.

Thanks for the input!

Lol good questions, I have no clue.

80ish No

So with my first brew (BB's Weizenbier) I forgot to take a OG but I hit the FG. Not sure what the ABV ended up but 2-3 bottles give me a good buzz. Yesterday I started a Brewers best american pale ale. I decided to boil 3.5 gallons instead of 2.5 recommended and I did a late extract...

Great, now I just need to find a deal on a pot.

Slowly trying to amass equipment for eventual all grain brewing. Found this at an estate sale, brand new/never used but the box was dirty.....$20 Good find?

Here is my Weizenbier, turned out decent I think.

lol

ok I didn't wait lol. Took a FG of 1.011 (recommended 1.011-1.015) smelled fine, tasted the sample and it was ok so I decided to bottle. Here are some pics......let me know what you think. first opened the primary Hydro reading looks pretty clear for a weizen racking to bottling bucket...

thanks guys, I'll use the Ronco method. Set it and forget it lol

I guess there isn't a benefit, I just was curious to what the FG is at. I'll leave it be then.........thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reassuring! I plan on taking a FG reading tomorrow to see if its close to the recommended FG, then let it sit an extra week to be safe. Had to buy some beer last night to "hold me over" while waiting. Schlafly Hefeweizen........pretty tasty from a local brewery. Drank it thinking...

Hello all, been lurking around on the boards for awhile and received a kit for the holidays. Another hobby for the wife to dislike lol. Anyways, I brewed the BB weizenbier and so far so good I guess. I forgot to take an OG reading before I pitched and I'm in constant fear that I goofed some...
