I may have only used 2.5 oz then. My LHBS told me the priming sugar bag was for a 5 gal batch, so I only used half.

So on 9/3 I made my first batch of Home Brew. A 2.5 gal batch of Bavarian Hefeweizen from a LME. On 9/14 I bottled it. Yesterday, I couldn't wait any longer. I grabbed a bottle from the box, put it in the fridge and chilled it for a few hours. Later on that evening my roomie and I split it...

Here are some pics of the batch.

I found it near the chocolate milk. I got the Carnation brand.

I made it tonight. Should be interesting. I used saaz hops and rewashed wheat yeast. Total price under $10.

I was watching a video on youtube the other day, this guy had made a pretty inexpensive way to cool his wort. He put his kettle in a round plastic trashcan, like the ones used for leaves and stuff, cut a whole in the side near the top for his water hose and then a hole on the side near the...

What do you think about subbing Agave Nectar in place of the sugar?

I am going to brew this concoction up this weekend. Subbing a few items. Is anyone else not really interested to see how it turns out?

Alright alright. I will let it sit, my initial plan was to let it sit in primary for 2 then in bottles for 1. I guess I will wait longer. :shake head:

Thanks guys. I didn't take an OG reading, but I did go to the Beer Calculus site and figure out what my OG should have been and what my FG is supposed to be. I will take a reading here probably this weekend. I hear Hefe's are fast. I love wheat beers and thats why I picked it. I wanted to...

Nevermind I found the Beer Calculus site. That gave me all the information I need.

I brewed this product http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Assets/PDFs/Briess_PISB_CBWBavarianWheatLME.pdf with 2.5 gallons, I can't figure out the OG. I forgot to take an OG reading.

When reading some of the material, I read to pour vigorously into Fermentation bucket, so I did. I poured it in the as fast as I could. Then later I read somewhere it needs to be whisked for 3 to 5 minutes. I didn't do that. I got activity in my airlock almost immediately for about 2 days...

Taken from drunkmansguide.com One thing you CAN do is just make an assumption about your OG. If you are brewing from DME or LME, then you know for a fact how much you put in and what your water volume is. So, a simple calculation would give you your OG. Just look up your brand of DME and you...

It was my first batch. It was 3.3lbs of Bavarianweizen LME. I used 3 gallons of water. There were no instructions on the LME. I used .5 oz of forgot the name of the hops but 4aag added at the 1 minute mark and boiled for 60 minutes. Is it too late to take an OG?

How do you find the alcohol content if you didn't take a OG reading. I started fermentation Sunday around 5pm. Do I take one now or just wait it out?

Every comment on here about Square One is that they have really good food. I think their beer is pretty darn good also. Hope you had fun in St. Louis come back again soon.
