In your personal opinion, is there a difference in the results between the two or not really?

Is it the end of the world if I just use regular sugar? Or will it make a difference in the final product if I go and find some corn sugar?

Mmkayy, well I will certainly follow your recommendation. Im glad I asked. Thank you.

They dont have an option for American Wheat, so I went for Wheat - Wiezen instead which I am under the impression is the American Wheat's close cousin?

Hmm i think its a difference of the volumes. It had 4.04 for me, but that was just there when I selected the type of beer. How did you arrive at 2.6 volumes?

any reason for the discrepancy between the two? I put the beer calculator volume as 5 gallons...

4oz only? Tasty brew calculator that I just looked at said to use like 8.4 oz of priming sugar. Which should I follow?

Hey Guys, so I tried an American Wheat Ale, and I brewed it back in late October. Here is what I wrote down about it in my journal as time went on. American Wheat Ale Directions followed exactly. Brew Date: 10/30/11 Yeast: started in ~ ¼ cup of LME and 325ml of water for 24 hrs, and...

Perhaps its a different recipe, but isnt the hops addition added at the beginning of the boil, and then the last one about 15 minutes before flame out? Perhaps you are confusing the 15 min late addition of hops with doing an addition with 45 min left to go?

The whole multicellular thing is sarcasm but okay. And an entire forum may be dedicated to it, but only to answer questions and find out new information about it. Not to bicker like little children about it. Yeast although an integral part of beer, is not worth bickering over because its ONLY...

1. 2L is a lot of starter to dump into your wort, its "bad beer" because it doesn't have any of the aroma/bitterness, or flavor characteristics of the beer you are trying to make which is why its called "bad beer". All a starter is water and malt extract. So the best beer you can make is when...

I am not sure if that is absolutely correct. I could be wrong here, but to my knowledge the nutrient pouch is nutrient and oxygen rich which makes it an aerobic jump start, but yes, its just to awaken the yeast, and ensure their viability, and not so much to increase cell count due to lack of...

Hmm looks like I might have messed that one up then. Oh well, its a learning experience. Now I will be able to tell the difference. Can't know good until you know bad.

lol, oh well

I am not trying to say you can get as many cells out of a 500mL starter as you do out of a 2L because obviously that is not the case, all I was trying to say is that you can make a 500mL starter, even if slightly modified that will suffice for brewing. 500mL starters have some upside if you...
