Hop Cave Brewing??

I had looked at that chart a while back but, of course, didn't remember to use it. Thanks!

I kegged a dunkelweizen almost 2 weeks ago and set it to about 5psi. I've been gone for the last week and when I came back last night I poured a glass and there's still no real carbonation. I checked for leaks and there doesn't appear to be any (the keg is holding pressure and the CO2 tank isn't...

OK. So here's what those of you who responded were good enough to provide: Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen Centennial Blonde Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale Lake Walk Pale Ale Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA clone Hobgoblin clone Edmund Fitzgerald clone Aberdeen Brown Ale (Newcastle...

Thanks, brewtus! This is exactly what I was thinking of. I do agree that people need to brew what they like but so many new brewers aren't sure which styles are easy to execute and most likely to turn out well. I know that I've been through dozens of recipes looking for ones that I thought would...

Any specific recipe or just a kit Hefeweizen?

There are a lot of smart people on this forum and many fantastic brewers (I don't know personally but would love to). :rolleyes: Since there's quite a few "What should I brew next?" threads, I think it would be great if they could compile a sticky of the Top 10 Beers for Beginners. I'd be...

I've pushed the top accidentally before and had lots of CO2 escape but it's never really stopped the fermentation. I think it is probably just a coincidence.

I converted a chest freezer for fermentation. I can just put my head in there and take a big ol' hit any time I want. :mug:

Anyone who drinks the beer will instantly get Alzheimer's Disease... ;) Actually I'm sure you're fine. I did the boiling method to build up the oxide layer and it did turn black. I think the worst that could happen is that you might have a slightly metallic taste to your beer but I think...

+1 on Star San from a spray bottle. I haven't had any issues with storage and I just empty and refill the spray bottle when I'm sanitizing for a new batch. It's really convenient. I spray it on everything and anything when I'm working with the cooled wort/beer. I spray it around the lid of my...

I'd appreciate it. TIA

I, too, am a fan of Xingu. It's one of those beers that's great for experienced beer drinkers but also beginners as it's not the typical "dark" beer (read stout). I would love to find a recipe for this as well.

I just ordered a dual regulator and picnic faucet from kegkits.com and was very happy with the service. When I received the regulator the tank gauge wasn't working. I sent an email and received a speedy reply that the gauge was probably damaged and they would send me a replacement - they did. No...

Yeah, it's all about the pH. You can find an interesting interview with StarSan's creator here. He also talks about bleach and how it's not really a sanitizer unless you get the pH down. He recommends that you add 1oz bleach to 5 gallons of water and then add 1oz of vinegar (don't mix the bleach...

Hefe must be the standard second brew around here... I did a porter first and am about a day away from kegging my second - a hefe. :D

I had about 2 days of temperatures very similar to yours on a porter I just brewed. I have not noticed any off flavors (although there could be something I'm missing). I would cool it down and reserve your judgment for after the beer's been in a keg or bottles for 3 or 4 weeks.
