A quick update....I havemy Brewhouse Honey Blonde Ale and IPA(http://www.finevinewines.com//Wiz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5816&PD=1) in carboys (seperate of course). Istarted the HBA onWLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend. I did the kits back to back and used the trub from the Honey Blonde to start the IPA (wow!@!) The HBA might be ready this weekend for bottling.It's slowing but hasn't settled yet
. Beer making is interesting....different from wine. Fun! The Brewhouse kits make it easy.
OK my question.......drum roll please...........
Have you ever filtered beer? I have a Vinbrite and it seems tohave rather coarse filters so I got to thinking.......do I filter?....hmmmm...mightresult in lesssediment in the bottles but still leave enough yeast for carbonation. I'm going toadd priming sugar (in my bottling bucket)andcarbonate in the bottle, so if I did I would filter into the bottling bucket and then bottle from there.
I'll try and post my beer making exploits this weekend. So far so good!
Thanks again for everyones help early on....Jeff
