Killer... I'll see how it goes. (Gonna use the light DME) Thanks!

Looking for a quick-turn answer, but I have a Belgian Wit Wyeast activator, 1 can of wheat LME, several cans of extra light/light LME, assorted other LME... I really want to make a wheat, but can I mix my 1 can of wheat with something else? I don't think it matters, but looking for some...

Wow, what went into that brew??? I primary in my South Dakota basement, so maybe I've avoided the explosion due to lower temps. So do you guys always use blow-off tubes in warmer climates?

Welcome, bud. I joined HBT while deployed. LOTS of good information here.

Sweet, thanks! Going with the P.C.

Whoever said that Ed's apfelwein got you drunk at warp-speed was 100% correct. I don't have any montrachet at the moment, anyone else use a different wine yeast for apfelwein?

Just made 3... First try at it, sounds like I can't go wrong with this one! 11,474.5 + 3 = 11,477.5 (where did the .5 come from?)

So do you guys microwave the citrus zest for any amount of time.... add it during primary or secondary?

Just interested... if you go to that much trouble to package the brew, we're avoiding shipping via USPS because why? Oh, it's illegal? Ok, got it. Anyone have anything to say about this? Does anyone have "a friend" that ships via USPS and has found no problem?

Hey, just to jump on this bandwagon... (and to keep SWMBO happy) I have in my posession a 96oz can of the Vint. Cherry fruit base. After talking to a guy who uses wild fruit that he finds to make wine, I came to the conclusion that I should go with the 3 gallon recipe off of the label...

Holy cow... you guys are using Nottingham primarily? It's that good? I used some kind of French "dry ale" yeast today and didn't bother to rehydrate. So what is everyone's "go-to" lager yeast?

I just got my dad and brothers into Mr. Beer but have never used it myself. They call me for tips while "brewing" and I recommended adding corn sugar vs. table sugar for bottling. Is the amount the same? You guys have done this?

Yeah, we had something like 3 feet. Unbelievable. After hours of shoveling we finally decided that we HAD to get out of the house tonight to get dinner somewhere else. Apparently I-90 had tons of abandoned cars since Thurs. I've been up here for a little over 2 years and that was the worst...

I've been using the same purified water in my airlocks as I do for my wort boils and primary top-offs. Those 2.5 gallon jugs that you can get at any store work well. As always, the standard answer for everything in this hobby is "Relax, Don't Worry, Have a Home..." RDWHAHB. (personal note...

Just to give feedback on my 'Midwest experience' COMPLETELY satisfied. Quality equipment (ordered the dual keg setup) and everything comes with detailed instructions. Kegs were shipped clean and in great shape. Have since done more business with them and plan on more in the future. Their...

Copy all. Thanks fellas.

I had a feeling it was one of those 'everyone has seen this' kinda thing.

That same exact thing just happened to me a few days ago. Except the bottom half of the gromet fell in and I hadn't seen any bubbling going on. Decided to just replace the seal last night and everything appears fine now. I wonder if it's going to have any weird added flavor from the gromet...

I got ya dude... Although I think those bananas need a cold one in thier hands. Thanks for the reply!
