So given the grist I have how would you distribute the percentages?

That looks really good. Any chance on getting the recipe?

That looks really good. Any chance of getting the recipe on that one?

So, my next beer is going the be a Hefe and while I have the recipe pretty nailed down, after reading a few threads I am in a bit of a quandary. My initial plan was to use the Weinstaphen (sp?) strain, but have been reading about the WLP300 and the Munich classic and am torn now on what yeast...

Greetings from the sometimes sunny San Francisco bay area. I still consider myself an armature even though I have been doing this for about 4 years. Enjoy the hobby and ask questions. These folks are serious rock stars when it comes to exchanging info and helping out.

Here is the picture as requested. Only thing I can see is the wiring for the panel but it's solid so there might be lines there i cannot see.

Opened up one of my Helles yesterday. Was not really clear, but the taste was good. Going to buy a pro brewed Helles to see how close I got, but this had a nice clean taste with a hint of hops and a nice malt character to it.

I sent Sierra Nevada a message to see what they would be willing to tell me. It was a very very distinct peach finish that I would say was nice. I can see having too many might wear the stomach and the taste buds out though. LOL

Cool. I am in South San Francisco. If you have any questions or need anything give me a holler. If you are ever in the area let me know. I am always up for a beer or three. LOL. Ask questions too. These folks are great resources of info.

Sierra Nevada Peach Little IPA. Damn it is good.

OK, let me first say I am not the most refined palate out there and probably worse since many of the IPA's are so hop forward that I think I lost a bit. But, I ran into Sierra Nevada Peach Little Think IPA. Wow, I got the peach right away and man is it good. I looked at the recipe on their...

Hey Jason, sorry but I grabbed it a while ago. Where are you in the Bay Area though?

Completely agree

I agree. Having bought a used Grainfather I can attest they have some really good recipes in the app and pretty good instructions on said recipes are provided by the authors of them. I think what everyone was trying to say was that keeping it simple to start works really well in most cases...

Bummer you are having trouble. I see a few pieces I would love to have, shipping would probably kill the deal for me in California. I am very surprised to be honest that nobody has taken up on this. If you are looking to part it out, maybe you might get some takers on some of the stuff.

I 100% agree here. Do some Extract or kits to start out with. They are premeasured and the instructions are pretty straight forward. That is how I did it and I felt I had a much better handle on the process when I switched to all grain.

My apologies, I missed the part about the Grainfather. And you are very correct, start out simple and go from there. I meant not disrespect with my post. It's just that most push Palmer's book and as a newbie I got very little out of it. Of course results may vary, so it is a good book to...

While I would agree reading up on the hobby is a good idea. As a new brewer I found Palmers book to be very confusing at times and way over my head. Way too much info for a new person to digest in my opinion. Now that I have been doing it for a bit I might reread it to see if I can glean a...

I hear ya, we have about 4 bottles of different flavors that I cannot stand either, so I completely understand. LOL.

Both she and my daughter like flavored coffee and they both have kcup pods they can fill up or do a pour over, so a full pot is never done anyway. It was more she asked and I became a bit curious about it.
