Thanks for the replies I used Coopers Pale Ale yeast reconditioned i will take a hydro reading asap to confirm fermentation (or lack thereof) thanks again ;)

Hi all, i put down a Little Creatures pale ale clone, and after i pitched the yeast there was never any significant krausen that developed, just a tiny layer of bubbles on top. The wort was properly aerated and i was careful with sanitation and temp(18c) and there was vigourous bubbling through...

I bought a $30 beer/wine/spirits hydrometer and it measures +6 in water, bought a aquarium hydrometer for $2 off ebay and it measures perfectly (and also has a thermometer inside!). I felt like a variety of hydrometers for a more acurate measure so i bought a couple..

Hi, I discovered Schofferhofer when i was living in germany, and all their beers are nice, particularly the wheat beer. The honey wheat sounds nice, i havn't heard of a honey wheat beer before, how is it? would it finish a little bit drier than a normal wheat? +1 on the quote about not needing...

good luck, you have chosen a great wheat beer to replicate and i hope it works out for you. I have collected the yeast from about 10 bottles of Paulaner hefeweizen and i will be trying to ferment a wheat beer with it soon :beerbang: . Let me know how your Schofferhofer clone turns out, cheers!

There can be unforseen obstacles with fruit beers...i have only tried a cherry ale and it turned out ok, the only advice i would offer is to use real fruit and not nectar or anything proccessed, the bacteria and yeasts on fruit are usually beer friendly anyway, so there is no problem with...

I dont mean to be anal, but it is spelt L-A-G-E-R, LAGER. say it slowly, l - a - g - e - r If you are brewing a larger, then i appologize. (never heard of a larger, but i dont know everything) ;)

Just stay away from the ertinger! (sorry zwickel)

do a wheat beer, (if u like this style of course) easy to brew, ferments out pretty quick, can handle relatively high temps, matures very quick in the bottle too. just get some liquid/dry wheat malt and a good wheat beer yeast like wb-06 and a fairly neutral hops or none at all(wheat beers arent...

my german buddies liken V.B beer to water. Trying bad beer is like driving through a ghetto; it makes you appreciate where your from(if you dont live in a ghetto).

Haha :lol: , excellent!

Can you taste any 'raspberry flavour' or is it covered by the tartness? I brewed a cherry ale and used ALOT of sour cherries and the thought crossed my mind that i may have gone overboard with the quantities, but it has mellowed into a very smooth beer. Not sure if this applies to raspberries...

Lol, yeah it's not flat it's just ''International Olde English cask conditioned ale , Don't ya know anything ya uncultured bums!'' that should work :icon_cheers:

Good call

Drink alot of quality, varied beers. don't be afraid to experiment. i recently tried a rauch beer and although i thought it tasted like drinking beer through a bong, it's still experience under the belt so to speak. also, drinking v.b will not improve or expand your 'palate.' it will only cause...

Get rid of that photo of the empty glass on the bottom of your page. Either take it away or replace it with a glass full of beer. I believe this could be the problem. No worries.

Time will Tell..

sounds delicious :P post pics of this beer

Thanks for the feedback guys :icon_cheers:
