Just in case you guys are interested, I brewed this a week ago and just finished transferring it to my secondary. My housemates and I tried some and it is already everyone's favorite beer. It is very good, not very bitter, but It has a nice dry finish and has a coffee-like aftertaste. I can't...

Oh, and the ABV is 6%

Well, thank you everyone for all your help in my numerous recent posts. I decided to make up my own stout using my "homebrew formulator" program. I have always liked being creative so the idea of brewing someone else's kit/recipe hasn't interested me much. Well, here is my final recipe thats...

Well, I bought the ultra light liquid malt extract from morebeer.com. It was $49 for 25lbs and morebeer has free shipping (over $59). As for the "WME" I don't know if it's a real term, but I was referring to Wheat Malt extract fror the Dunkleweizen I'll be brewing shortly.

Ok, thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it.

Hmm... we'll see. I added the special B because I got very few suggestion from people here and that is what Northern Brewer puts in their kit along with Aromatic and Crystal. Any other suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for your input. Here's what I decided to do for my Dunkleweizen. What do you guys think? 6lbs. Wheat LME .5lbs. Special B .5 lbs Crystal 40L .15 lbs. Chocolate (dingemans) .25 lbs. Honey .25lbs. corn sugar Hops .8 oz. Hallertauer (U.S.) - 60 min. I.B.U. - 18 S.R.M. - 19 A.B.V. -...

Hello, I am relativly new to brewing. I was wondering which grains that get steeped need to be crushed or do all of them? I have some Black Patent, Chocolate, Special B, CaraRed, Crystal 40, and crystal 15 on order along with 25lbs of LME and 6lbs of WME and a bunch of hops/yeast. What grains do...

well, when I pitched the second pack of yeast, the beer was starting to have a little white film on top. But the real reason I thought it was infected was that it sat for an entire day with no airlock and when I checked it out, a fly flew out. It was also starting to smell a little sour.

well, thanks for all your help guys. Unfortunatly I finished brewing, checked the temp and pitched the yeast. After 2 days, I got nothing. So I called my LHBS and got a new pack of yeast. I poured it on top and left for Vegas for a weekend with my girlfriend. This time the yeast worked. I got a...

It's less than $4 for costco's 6 gallon case of water. Works great. If you do your boil with 3gals tap water and add three gals bottled water to the fermentor, you'll get about 5 gals total volume and will only spend an extra $2 for water.

ok, thanks I'll give it a try.

Thanks guys, I kegged it this afternoon and put the CO2 on at 20psi and shook it up. Took a taste this evening. It's not bad!! It needs some more time. Can't wait to try it in a few weeks! Also, I have a 5 lb. tank. My gauge says that they only filled it to about 900psi. Is that normal? Seems...

I brewed a brown ale exactly two weeks ago. I left it in the primary for six days. It fermented very fast and hot. It stopped bubbleing in two days. I racked to the secondary and have not seen a bubble since. here is my question, since it's been in the secondary for a week now and there has been...

ok, thanks. I might just do that. What do you think of cutting the cascade bittering hops to 2oz and adding the last .75oz in the last ten minutes?

ok, thanks I'll check it out.

I know have a complete setup with 3 carboys and corny kegs so I can brew a batch a week. I am gonna brew a stout on Wednesday, but need to order the ingredients for my next couple batches very soon. I have a cream ale and a brown ale fermenting, so I want to do a Hefeweitzen after the Stout. So...
