Hey all, Mostly a lurker in the past, but I want to ask you all for opinions. I am getting ready to brew my fall Dunkelweizen recipe that I've made a few years now and tastes wonderful. For a 3.5 gallon batch, the recipe is: 4 lbs. Wheat malt 3 lbs. Dark Munich malt 5.4 oz. Melanoidin Malt...

Hey all, Not a "newbie"brewer per say, as I've done about 30 batches give or take. Anyways, I'm running into an odd issue I've never encountered before with bottle carbonation. My recent Xmas ale recipe was batch primed as normal, albeit my priming sugar was pretty syrupy so I had to add...

Hey all, Quick question and opinions needed. I'm about to bottle my Christmas Ale in the next week. My sample when checking gravity had very little spice flavor/aroma left after a vigorous fermentation. I'd like to add those spice characters back during bottling. Initially, I added 1 oz...

Hey all, I had my fridge slightly warmer than normal as our milk was freezing near the back of the fridge. Upon doing a temp check, the water inside was around 44F. I know Wyeast says there max temp for storage is 40F I believe. Is this going to be an issue? I have since turned the fridge...
