    Bray's One Month Mead

    kept under a kitchen table. ambient temp was between 72-76. At 3.5 weeks, I racked into tertiary (was in secondary since day 10) and cold crashed for a few days before kegging. Id have put into my chest which is @ 68F but it was already full of fermenting beer.

    Looking for recipe: All Wheat Beer

    Hi guys. My neighbor is allergic to barley and rye so i thought to see if I can brew an all wheat for him. Im not sure if it exists as I understand that wheat is used in as much as 60% of the grain bill. Im seeking guidance. Is it possible to make an all wheat beer? thanks all!

    Day 6 since pitching the yeast. SG = 1.002 Measure pH = 3.05 Liquid is cloudy At this point, Im not sure what to do but keep an eye on the SG. If it is 1.002 two days from now then I will transfer to a 5 gallon carboy for 14 days. Bray, your guidance is appreciated.
