Thanks for the input. Thanks for letting me the recipe as a whoe looks good. The only reason I chose US-05 for the yeast was because of the Blue Moon clone thread that seemed to point to a us-05 type yeast insyead of the the useual you would use for a wit..... something to think about for me...

Anyone?

Ya I had read a post thatr said 1.5-2 lbs per gallon... Maybe 1 lbs. per gallon sounds a little more realistic? And no one has any input on the recipe as a whole?

Well I posted this in the recipes board but that seems to be a very quiet place... like someone is hunting wabbits or something... So I thought since I am new to this and just brewed my 3rd extract batch I was safe. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Hello All, I am a learning newb...

Hello All, I am a learning newb and so far have only done extract brews. A distant family member offered to "sell" me her chest freezer to turn into a kegerator in exchange for a couple small batches of beer. First out she wants a Blackberry beer. I have read on here Wit's are good for a...

I should clarify.... The Blonde Ale has been in primary for 31 days.... I wanted to take a hydro sample for learning only on this one. I wish I had the hydro when I started this batch to get an OG but didnt... So I thought I would at least take a reading to see what the FG is so I understand...

Hello All, I have hunted around the board a bit and am not finding an answer to this. Doesn't mean it isn't on here somewhere I am just not finding it. Here is the deal; I have prchased a hydrometer that will unfortunately not arrive until Monday. I am bottling a Blonde Ale this...

dantheman13 - I am inlcuding a bteer pic. I posted that from my iPhone last night a did not realize it cut the size down so much. I do not at this point think it is infected with anything and you are probably correct that it is Co2 bubbles prolly intertwined with the little remaining krausen...

Ok, so I waited to bottle and am still waiting for my hydrometer to get here. I have been watching it and the krausen has fallen slowly over the last few days. It looks like the yeast is flocculating as the top portion of the beer is nice and clear. In the pic I opened the fermenter today to...

BTW I ordered a hydrometer today.... I know this will help lots.

Interesting... So that makes me want to ask if this would be a decent plan of attack from here: 1-2 more weeks in fermentor Bottle and carb for two weeks at 70 degrees (Can I do 78 degrees for this? This is room temp in my house?) Condition for up to 3 months(Can this be done in the fridge...

Hello All, I am going to be bottling my secoind batch this weekend. Let me give you the recipe first then tell you my issue and questions. Recipe Gravity: 1.062 OG Recipe Bitterness: 23 IBU Recipe Color: 7° SRM Estimated FG: 1.015 Alcohol by Volume: 6.0% Alcohol by Weight: 4.7%...

Ya she is no fruit fan and not liking the Belgian White... Tried... I like, she doesnt. Yes I have read a ton on Lagers and it will certainly not be easy as an Ale... But keep in mind here I am not looking to brew this soon. I want to track down a good clone recipe now instead of next spring...

I do not know about Lemon Balm. I will say this as I am going to be brewing a wheat next and love a lemon kick to it. I am considering using TrueLemon. I use this for just ice water and it is amazing how true the flavor is. With no additives or presrervatives and pure dehydrated lemon I figure I...

Hello All, I am a newb to brewing and this forum. I have been reading my brains out and am learning a lot thanks to all you seasoned brewers on here. SWMBO is a very picky beer drinker. She does not like most of what I drink and is not a fan of my first brew (even though I think...

Hello All, What a nice long thread. I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. I got a Mr. Beer setup for Fathers Day from the wifey and kids. I brewed the WPA by the "MrB" book. It turned out ok. I feremented for 10 days and bottle primed. Left in the cupboard for 14 days then hit the...
