So i picked up a 1 gallon kit from Total Wine a while back and brewed up ther Summer Wheat, my dad really enjoyed it and i was wondering if there was a 5 gallon recipe floating around somewhere?

Just finished making my first batch of JAOM but i had a moment of dyslexia and pitched the ENTIRE packet of bread yeast instead of 1 tsp....do you guys think it will be alright? fermentation has already begun...

No it isnt, its just the first time i failed to pitch all the yeast without having any stick in the neck.

Pitched my yeast (US-05) and didnt notice some stuck in the upper part of the neck of my 6.5 gallon carboy, they somewhat rehydrated (pitched dry) and they are just stuck there in maybe a dollar coin sized area...should i worry? will they mold and should i try to wash them down somehow?

Ah thank you! and yes for a 1 gallon batch.

So bottling time came for my summer wheat kit from Brooklyn Brew shop and i spaced out and just used all my honey last night on a batch of mead and their recipe calls for 3 tbsp of honey in 1/2c water to be used for priming...i have corn sugar, brown sugar and agave necter but what would the...

Ah jeez i cant believe i had this backwards all this time...well thanks for clearing that up for me though!

So i just came into about 25lbs worth of whole pomegranate and i got the idea to turn it into mead! i was wondering if the best way to incorporate it would be to just throw the seeds in whole or should i put them all in a big bowl and mash them first and dump the pulp into my fermenter?

Same here, only reason to call me after 8pm is emergency or you want you ear canal raped.

So as per this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/my-beer-infected-96355/ im 99% sure ive got wild yeast too and my beer is ruined..im so disappointed :(

haha, i thought about scaling the picture down but that would compromise the detail :)

Stuck one in the fridge yesterday morning, poured 5 mins ago and its clear as a bell, has a sort of sandpapery feel on the tongue...flavor is not bad though, is infected beer ok to drink? :cross:

Yup, 3 of the 52 bottles of beer are clear the rest are brown :)
