No Raspberry!    :hammer:



Listen Mister, I'll have you know that that "fruity" summer Raspberry Wheat comes in at well over 5 percent.  It'll sneak up on ya.  Besides, it's more beer, less fruit anyway.  Relax, will ya?

What the hell is your problem--you're named for fermented frigging grape juice, fer chrissakes!

Only problem with doing the all-grain stuff is just the time involved (and the space.)  The last batch wasn't too bad, as long as everyone stayed out of the kitchen for 4-5 hours during the brew, an hour during the transfer to the secondary, and a couple more hours for bottling.  Now if I had some "help" with a couple of batches, that might be cool...yeah, Scoobie and the kids would just LOVE a bunch of guys standing around the kitchen, drinking all the beer as fast as we made it.

It's not that bad, just a few more this to do.

Wine is FAR more intense than beer could ever think of being. (not that I don't like a good brew)
  If you want tips about going all-grain, I can go throught it. It's a bit more complicated, but once you get it down, you will never go back to syurp beer. Essentially you need an ice chest, some iodine, a milk thermometer, a "canning" pot (6 gallon or a little more, which you probably already have) and a pair of modified 5 gallon buckets for rinsing the grain. 
If you like raspberry flavored beer, thats OK. Go ahead, be fruity.    :tongue:

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
