This recipe looks delicious, question though before I attempt this. I'm really new to brewing so I was just wondering what you did for bottling, did you add priming sugar? Also, at what temp do you add the yeast?

Yup, that pic is right - I thought that too and was like "ah crap did I screw this up?" Then I read that because I wasn't doing all-grain, the LME I used would make the brew really dark. I actually tried a bottle this past weekend, and it carbonated beautifully. It's not as flavorful as I hoped...

So I brewed the belgian wit beer recipe from Jamil Janishev's (is that how you spell it, the book is upstairs) "Brewing Classic Styles", but there aren't any directions for bottling. The airlock is still showing a bubble once every 8 or 9 seconds, and has been in the fermenter for 2 weeks...

Man, I've brewed a few times before but WOW I've never seen yeast do this haha. I've also never tried to brew a belgian, guess that's why? I've definitely learned a valuable lesson here to leave ample space in my fermenter. I like the swamp cooler idea, I'm definitely going to try that, thanks...

Wow that's a lot of foam! Nice fermenter BTW, never seen one like that. Coulda used one of those. Well I gotta say, lesson learned, dang rookie mistake. Thanks so much for the feedback. She's still bubbling pretty rapidly, but the blowoff is working, added ice to the water bath it's in. Fingers...

Ohhhh shoot...headspace, dang amateur mistake! haha - the blowoff container seems to have enough space to get me thru the night - in case foam comes thru the tube, there should be enough room to hold it without overflowing. I had the rubber stopper out for a bit because it was foaming up so...

I brewed a wit yesterday and, didn't have an airlock so I used a blowoff tube. I woke up to find the blowoff tube had overflowed with foam, I bought an airlock, tried it, and it exploded off the carboy in under an hour. I went back to a blowtube setup and within minutes foam was rushing through...
