was thinking of dry hopping my IPA with 1 oz. of chinook and 1 oz. of cascade. thoughts or suggestions. thanks

I don't mind some now and then but my wife begs to differ. Her response "I let you keep all your damn bottles all over this house and in my kitchen so the least you can do is brew me me some rasp. wheat." can't argue with that.

it was in the primary for 17 days and my cooler ranges between 65* and 68*. I took a hydro reading the last 3 days of primary and it was steady all 3 days. i plan on letting it stay in the secondary for at least a week maybe 2

so this past weekend I transferred my wheat beer to my secondary fermenting vessel. I added the raspberries to it, about 1 lb. (only a 3 gallon bucket) and set in my cooler. the odd thing is I got airlock activity about 5 minutes after transferring but not a dang thing since. This all took place...

so you mention sanitizing a spoon and dipping a bit of the yeast cake out to put into the secondary. could I also just drop the siphon down to the bottom of the primary and get a bit of the cake that way or if that not a good idea?

^however long any secondary fermentation last and if that is only a few days then probably 7-10 days I guess. do you have any suggestions about time spent in the secondary? thanks

So this coming Saturday will be 2 weeks since I brewed my American wheat brew. My plan is to check the gravity today, tomorrow and Friday to make sure fermentation has stopped. Lets assume for a second that I have a steady gravity reading for the next 3 days should I rack it to the secondary and...

Yeah I should have. Now once they ran a special on 12 packs of Saranac. $7.99 a 12 pack! I bought $84 dollars worth. They were sample packs. Each had 3 pale ale's, 3 pomegranate wheat, 3 summer brews and 3 Helles. My wife damn near crapped herself until she realized they had a pomegranate wheat...

Hot d*mn! I''ll tell ya, one of our local liquor stores was selling it back in June for $2.99 a six pack! They have been know to do this from time to time with beers they have in stock and they don't get rid of. I bought 2 cases worth. I have bought things on special there like Abita light...

to roll out with the celebration ale? man I've been missing it. anyone know? Thanks

so you say you didn't sanitize the rasp. did you use frozen, fresh, etc.?

So from what i'm reading I think I will try adding 1.5 lbs. to my 3 gallon fermenter. I think I will let them ferment for about a week and a half. Sanitizing is still an issue. I guess I'll pasteurize just to be safe. thanks everyone

Hey everyone. so I have done a few searches on the items in the topic but got no definite answers on a few of them. I understand that when adding frozen raspberries to the secondary for a rasp. wheat it's all about experimentation and individual taste so I can live with that, but I will ask...

don't really know the answer to this but I am interested in seeing some answers and sorry to go off topic but what a great user name OP

Yeah I'm controlling the temps. swamp cooler between 65 and 68 degrees. That's acceptable huh?

so this past weekend I brewed a canned extract kits (muntons wheat beer). this by all accounts should be my last canned extract kit before I move to bigger and badder partial mash or all grain. Saturday I brewed as directed but instead of just adding the 2.2 lbs. of dextrose I also added a...

Yeah I know. I have found that out recently, but my wife is breaking my b*lls about making her a raspberry wheat so I have to get it going. I figure with her NOT being a beer connoisseur I could skimp a bit and use dextrose with the 1lb of DME I have left. she'll never know the difference...I...

thank you much fellas. if I decide to go with honey bout how much would I use and would I use it in place of one or the other (DME or dextrose)?

so if a recipe calls for 3 lbs. of DME can you use 2.2 lbs. of dextrose and 1 lb. of DME instead? reason being is i'm broke. yeah I know, wait till I gots more money...

+1 for that. between that and Terrapin Rye (even though it's not a IPA) the state of Georgia has has kick a** brewery's imho
