All of those sounds amazing. I am probably going to work the kinks out on some sort of Amber, just wanted to make sure it wasn't blasphemy! Haha Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Still green to the homebrewing experience, only a couple wheats under my belt. Last batch was a partial mash, woo! Anywho, I have about 2lbs of wheat DME leftover from the last batch and wanting to branch out a bit. I enjoy most types of beer, but wanting a session beer for spring. If I add...

Fingers crossed a great beer is only a few weeks later! Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Haha true true. I live in Iowa, where its just below freezing outside right now. Sat the bucket outside for about three minutes and that dropped the bucket to about 72F, and I know that'll acclimate to around 64F in the room. Whew. Got a little too worked up for a minute there. Sent from my...

The room the beer ferments in is pretty steady around 62F. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Took my sweet time setting up a recipe for my third batch. I was going to try a partial mash. Got my grains in the mail (munich) and realized I forgot to order them crushed. Spent about an hour with a rolling pin and eventually just called it good. Mashed 1# of the munich and a half pound of...

No offense taken yall! That's what the forum is for. I'll look into tweaking some numbers and a partial mash. I still don't understand ratios and IBUs in terms of character. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Looking at 1.051, which from what I gather is pretty typical and the ceiling for extract beers. I have some honey and honey malt leftover from a honey wheat beer I have bottle conditioning though. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Just threw together a quick and easy wheat recipe with I have around the house. Just wondering what yall think of it. Making 3.5gal, since I only have a 5gal fermenter. 4#s Wheat DME 1# Munich Malt 1oz Liberty (60min) 0.5oz Liberty (40min) 0.5oz Liberty (10min) Danstar Munich Yeast...

Just bottled a honey wheat ale this weekend and wanting to fill up the fermenter with malty goodness. Just not sure what to make. I am comfortable with extract brews and specialty grains. Looking at making an easy Hefe, but open to other ideas. Only two brews under my belt so bear that in...

Quite a fun read! Some interesting names and great stories. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Great discussion already! Love hearing the stories behind beer! Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Just taking some gravity readings on a honey wheat I'm making, and a name for it finally popped into my head. After years away, I've finally settled back down in my home town. So I thought hey! Hometown Honey Wheat has a nice ring to it! I'm not sure if anyone else is using that name or not...

I have nothin to lose either way lol will do! Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

None are in the fridge. Just used one as a tester. Will any of the sweet/yeasty flavor clear up though? Thanks man! Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Here's a pic, not that it matters. Pretty clear though Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

So I bottled my Mr Beer kit after the two weeks as per instructions. Didn't take gravity readings, didn't know about them when I did this kit. The beers been bottled for two weeks now, and I just tossed one in the freezer and let it cool. Cracked the seal and it isn't as carbed as I thought...

+1 on the flashlight idea. I'll be doing that in the future. I've attached a pic. Just kickin back a few high lifes (no home brew yet) and prayin the Beer Gods have mercy on me... Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Is the smell natural to wheat beers? Or Munich yeast? I'm not really worried, being the low ferment temp and isolated location. Not really worried about infection, just didn't want any oxygen in there. Live and learn. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Home Brew mobile app

Welp. Now I'm wishing I hadn't popped the top. The krausen was very well developed. Such a thing of beauty! Thank goodness I had 2gal of head space, it wasn't more than a few inches from the top. I will say it gave off a very wheaty, almost woody/musty smell. To be fair its a honey wheat, but...
