    Belgian Wit Questions

    Bottled this experiment on 3/30, and just popped the top on one today. Couldn't wait any longer. I will have to say it was a success. Tastes pretty close to what a Blue Moon does. Hazy with a nice white head. I think I will try the no boil method again and make either a porter(my favorite...

    Belgian Wit Questions

    I brewed this yesterday. Adding the DME to one gallon of water almost filled the pot up completely. Next time, I will use 1/2 gallon and cool the other 1/2 gallon in the fridge. This morning it is bubbling away with about an inch of krausen showing. If it turns out ok, this was so easy I...

    Belgian Wit Questions

    I have been brewing off and on for several years and have done extract, extract with steeping grains, and all grain batches. I want to brew a somewhat Belgian Wit using wheat DME and Hallertau hops. I think I may try the hops tea/no boil DME method just out of curiosity and in the interest of...

    Question about pin lock Corny kegs

    I have a lead on some pin lock kegs for $30 each. Can I leave them as pin lock, and change out the lid so that it has a pressure relief valve just by changing the lid? I guess what I am asking is will a ball lock lid fit a pin lock keg???

    MoreBeer Sweet Stout kit

    Just took a hydro reading after being on yeast for 9 days. Bubbling has stopped in airlock and gravity reading is right at 1.020. I plan on leaving it on the yeast cake for at least two weeks, and may be bottling it this week-end. Hydro sample tasted outstanding! Can't wait to get it...

    What's in your fermenter(s)?

    Right now, a sweet stout kit from MoreBeer. After it finishes and I get it bottled, next up is a porter kit.

    MoreBeer Sweet Stout kit

    About half way in to an hour boil using the MoreBeer Sweet Stout kit. Sure does smell good! I went outside a minute ago to check it and there were several honey bees flying around. Guess they want a sample too! Edit: O.G. was 1.056. Estimated O.G. was 1.045-1.049. Pitched re-hydrated...

    Question about ferment temperature

    I have a spot in my computer room that has ceramic tile on the floor. The temperature of the tile is about 61 degrees measured with a stem thermometer sitting on the tile. The temperature of the air in this area is currently about 68-69 degrees using the same thermometer. If I brew a batch...
