So, on Saturday 8/10 I bottled my Hefeweizen, which I also call my Witty Weizenbeir. Final gravity came out to be 1.014, giving me an alcohol percentage of 5.5%. Not too shabby. The Hallertauer aroma is wonderful, the beer has a good malt body with a nice show of hop flavor. Definitely did a good …

Hefeweizen and Peach Hefeweizen – Batch 56 and 57
It’s been since October since I’ve brewed. So, decided to do a hefeweizen. But I also wanted to do a peach hefeweizen. Well, why not do both? So I did. After much contemplation I decided on doing one big 10 gallon batch, and I will put half with peaches in a secondary. That way I’ll …

What The Heck Did I Just Brew?
Last night I bottled up my so called “American Style” hefeweizen. It had been fermenting for 14 days by the time I had bottled it. And, by fermenting for 14 days, I don’t mean it was just sitting there for 14 days waiting to be bottled. I mean it was actively fermenting for 14 days. …

Batch 4 and 5 bottled
Well, with all the chaos in the house (me being sick last week, the wife having contractions and sending us into the hospital, and my son barfing all night), I was able to get some bottling done in the midst of this. Batch number 5 was the weird b@$tard brew that I made by throwing …
