Nothing. :( Giving the liver a break for a week or two.

So even after four weeks and a little bit of primary swishing to try and get the fermentation going a little more I ended up with an FG of about 1.019. A little upset about that. The temps were right on lower sixties and they stayed constant for the whole month. As for the flavor it is a...

The wheat i brewed should have ended up at about 1.012 but when i checked today in preperation for bottling it was at 1.020. The beer tastes just like it should and actually better than i expected. no sweatness at all. should i just assume it is where it is an bottle. it's been in a sealed...

So I'm splitting a batch between bottles and a pig keg. The priming amount for the recipie for a 5 gallon batch is 1 and 1/4 cup of wheat dme I know that the pig keg takes less to prime so I'm thinking, just over 1/2 cup for the bottles and just under 1/2 cup for the pig. Does that sound...

alright, midfielder, it's on it's way, it might be frozen solid by the time it gets there though.... good news thanks

Well, I reread what i wrote and i meant to say i DO have a problem paying that kind of money for a bottle of wine now. But I did get way into wine for a number of years and at the time i didn't have a problem with it at the time. Got a kid now and am a bit more frugal and yeah, if it was...

So i thought i was going to bottle this weekened but it ends up I have no time to make it work. The only chance i can see having is next weekend. That will put this wheat into 3 weeks in the primary. The basement where it has been the whole time has held a consistent temp of 60degrees. I...

Just curious if anyone besides myself runs into this. just started brewing again after a long break and i'm still waiting to bottle the most recent bottle so i need something in the mean time. Went to the store for a few bottles. Out of two or three mixed sixers I think i've found one beer...

cool. thanks folks.

say i do a rotation, will the yeast in the bottles i bring upstairs reactivate after it warms up a bit?

So I'm getting ready to bottle this weekened my first brew in over a year and i have a major space problem when it comes to bottle conditioning. I have no intention to go kegs right now so this is what i have to deal with. The place where they should be going to rest is in the basement...

Ok, still have a week and a half to go before i can bottle this one. Forgot what it is like to have to wait, and then wait for bottle condition, then start another cause you know that one brew is not going to last. I think i'm gonna have to pick up a few sixers to tide me over. I'll let...

I only pitched the amount in the pack, it was one of the smack packs that wyeast makes. Honestly I've never pitched more than what came in the pack or when i was doing kits what came in the dry packet and i just dumped that straight in dry. I know it's not necessarily good practice but...

Ok, been reading some other threads along with this one. Is two weeks long enough? I'm not worried about it reaching fg in two weeks, i'm sure it's probably close to that already if not there. As i stated i was going to let it go for at least two weeks before bottling it. but even a wheat...

So we are at the 48th hour since pitching the yeast, the ambiant temp of 60 (assuming that the cheap thermometer in the basement isn't totally incorrect) has not changed. The little quick read sticker type themometer on the side of the brew bucket says 64-66 so I'm assuming it's actually about...

Well, got everything brewed up yesterday and looked at my brew bucket. Even if i had wanted to use a blow off tube on that i wouldn't know how to set one up. But it looks like i've got another 20-25 percent space for fermentation so I'm gonna go with it. not the first wheat i've ever done but...

so my local guy was out of the wyeast 3056 bavarian wheat yeast and suggested i went with this instead. YEAST STRAIN: 3068 | Weihenstephan Weizen™ Back to Yeast Strain List The classic and most popular German wheat beer strain used worldwide. This yeast strain produces a beautiful and...

picking up the ingredients for my first brew in over a year today! It's gonna be an easy wheat for spring and my first partial mash! Wife is taking the kid to her parents tomorrow so between brewing beer, bottling some wine, replacing the muffler on the daily driver, and playing with the new...

you folks are faster than me and answered all my questions before i gave you all the info you needed thanks. Will wrap it up and keep it off the concrete floor. It's a clone of a Pauliner Wheat that I've done using all extract and it was way better than any kit i used. Figured try the...
