I ended up going back and buying wheat malt. During brew day though I forgot to add the carafoam to the mash. Other than that I followed the original recipe with the addition of .5# rice hulls. For the yeast I split the batch b/w 2 carboys and used WLP 351 in one carboy and wlp 320 in the...

Thanks for the replies

Alternatively does anyone have a good recipe for a dark wheat that doesn't use wheat malt? I have plenty of 2 row and vienna at home.

I was planning on trying a 10 gallon batch of this http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Recipes/beer/display/dunkel-er-weisse

Here is the grain bill for my recipe. 10# Wheat Malt 8# Vienna 1# Midnight Wheat 1# Carafoam Unfortunately my dumb a$$ bought flaked wheat :o instead of wheat malt. Would it be ok to just substitute the flaked wheat in place of the wheat malt?

Thanks for the tips. Was finally able to get them separated.

So the cascade and centennial hops I've been growing became a tangled mess on the trellis. Is there a way to tell the difference between these two by looking at the leaves or something else?

So if I wanted to store for an extended period and I force carb would it be better to fully carb and let sit or just add a bit of pressure to set the lid and then carb when I'm ready to drink?

:eek: ...and I thought I had bad luck with this when it blew the top off and covered my ceiling with yeast. My condolences.

Also Cascade

Thanks! Yes they do look like asparagus.

When I first planted my rhizome last year the sprouts did not look like this. Is this how they are supposed to look. They almost look like roots but I'm seeing some leaves coming off them.

Are you using a five gallon carboy for five gallon batches? If so buy a larger carboy and use the smaller carboy as a secondary or for lower gravity beers. Second option, use a blowoff tube

Brewed this for swmbo who love summer solstice. Lasted for only 3 weeks because she loved it so much:rockin:, said it was better than summer solstice. Used. .5 oz of Madagascar vanilla extract.

Baking soda works wonders!

Thanks for the replies I'm happy to hear that I can speed this up. :ban: I will try doing a double batch sparge next time to see how that goes. Oh and yes I did fail to mention it in my description but I do vorlauf before I collect.

Ok so i've done 3 ag batches now and have been trying to read up on things as much as possible. I came across threads and articles about batch and fly sparging and I realized neither really sounded exactly like what I have been doing, so my question is what the heck am I doing and is this...

Gonna do my first all grain on Monday, any suggestions/recipies. I currently have a cream ale, and nut brown ale bottling, and a 2 hearted ale in the fermentor. Any suggestions
