I'm writeing this down here so as not to forget.
English Pale Ale. EPA Kit from Northern Brewer. Brewed by my self, Brother Tyler & Greedo
O.G. 1050
F.G. 1005
Brewed on 09 Feb 2008
Racked on 16 Feb 2008
Bottled on 25 Feb 2008
Comments: Still waiting on this one to carbonate correctly. Looks good, and the taste is nice, but as of a week ago no CO2 to speak of. Brought the bottles upstairs and put them in my closet (warmer), and gave each one of them little stir to get those yeasties going.
Wheat Beer. Weizenbier kit from Scilliano's, with the addtion of 1 lb Wheat DME, 1 lb crushed wheat malt specialty grains, 1 orange peel, and 1/2 oz corriander. Brewed by My Self, Greedo & Der Sieger
O.G. 1054
F.G. 1018
Brewed on 08 Mar 2008
Racked on 17 Mar 2008
Bottled on 29 Mar 2008
Comments: Looks and smell are dead on for a Weizen/Hefe. Has some nice Banana aroma, but not overwhelming like Bell's Winter White. I'm letting it rest in the basement for a week, then then I'll put it in the closet. It's really starting to be apparent to me that waiting longer is better. 6 weeks is killer to wait, but it seems to be worth it.
