    I want to try a Belgian III

    Brewfirm makes a good Belgian extract. They are actually in Belgium I believe. Brewed a Grand Cru and opened one after 5 weeks ( they recommend 6-8 ) in the bottle. Off the hook.

    Fermenter on overdrive

    Brewed some wheat beer yesterday. Briess LME, perle and spalter hops, a dash of lemon juice and corriander. Made about 3 gallons and am fermenting in a 5-6 gallon Coopers carboy. The bubbles from the airlock have been going ape****, in fact, I one side of the water ( using a 2 bubble airlock)...

    Thanks guys. Now to figure .02 oz. out of the 1oz without a scale.

    Adding unneccesary hop amount?

    Saw an Erdinger clone recipe for 3 gallon batch. It called for 0.2 oz Perle pellets ( 60 min). 0.3 oz Spalt Spalter pellets (15 min) and 0.3 Spalt Spalter ( 1 min). Added to Briess unhopped bavarian wheat LME. I have an oz of each. Would I mess up the brew if I added all the hops at above...

    Brewing instructions? LME.

    LHBS guy said its good for about 2-3 gallons, so I'm thinking about 2.5. I assume I should boil about 3 gallons, to make up for evaporation? Thanks for your help.

    4 year old carb tabs?

    I have a sealed bag of Coopers carbonation tablets. Packaged in 2006. I was told they should still be ok to use. Thoughts? I'd hate to chuck em out, since I've got 2 bags of them. Question 2. Is 11.5 gms of yeast too much for a 2-3 gallon batch? I have a wheat and an Ale yeast, but am only...

    Brewing instructions? LME.

    I have 3.3 lbs of Briess CBW Bavarian wheat LME unhopped. Also some Spalter and German Perle hops. My questions are: 1. Do I need to add any brew sugar? I'm thinking no. 2. How much water should I start with when brewing the hops ( may add orange peel and corinader). Should I follow an extract...

    Coopers Extracts?

    I have two cans of Coopers extract. One Lager and a Canadian Blond. The kit included 1 kg of brewing sugar and 1kg of brew enhancer. Anyone know how and when to add these. It says to add sugar to wort mixture, but nothing about enhancer? Plus it only included one bag of each, yet two cans...

    Extract Cans. How old is too old?

    Some one just gave me a Coopers Homebrew kit . Along with it came two cans of extract...best used by 2007 and 2008. Are they useless, and just toss them out, or give them a shot? Thanks

    Is a 3 gallon batch in a 6 gallon carboy bad?

    Baking soda. Scrub sides with a box of the stuff mixed with water, Let sit for a while. Good to go. You could add some lemon juice as well

    Shout out to all Mods and Pros

    As you can see, I'm a noob poster, and a relative noob brewer. I just wanted to say thanks to the guys here who share their thoughts and give unselfish advice to many redundant questions. You have helped me more than you know. I've got a stout, a wheat and a Grand Cru awaiting my lips. But as...

    Canned Extract vs. This Recipe?

    Thanks. So...After boiling hops for the allotted time...then add the 3 extracts and boil ? How long? Thanks

    Canned Extract vs. This Recipe?

    Its for an Erdinger clone. My question is, will this turn out better than just using cans of HME and UME extract? I don't mind a little more work, and I'm trying to move on to a slightly more advanced stage than say the Mr.Beer route. What I'm trying say is with this recipe ( or any similar)...

    American wheat fermentation extract

    You could secondary if you're going to batch prime and/or add anything to the wheat...orange, coriander, etc. But other than that, as someone else said, its mainly for clearing up a brew, and theres no need for wheats, stouts, etc.
