  Try not to go too nuts with the challenger, it will get spicy on you and take away from the
  Citra. I make an amber with .5 oz of challenger and then Amarillo later on in the boil and they
  work well to...

• Posted in thread: FG 1.000 ? MW Honey bee ale on 04-17-2013 at 01:49 PM
  Don't panic your reading is probably right. That was the first beer I ever brewed and it
  finished at 1.002FG. It tasted like champagne. Crystal clear, light and refreshing. If you get
  the kit again, t...

  Exactly, you seem to be right in the ballpark. Leave the default setting at 75% for a few more
  batches and see how close they are. If you find that you are always a few points low then you

  Have you ever had a kolsch before? The yeast does impart a unique flavor and aroma and it is
  supposed to!! As for the clearing up of the beer, just do as everyone else suggested. There are
  a bunch of ...

  concentrated honey/musty grain. It overpowers other grains and hops. The beer I did with that
  much honey is dr...

  The Beersmith FG is a approximate number, not a definite one. Things such as your mash temp and
  how efficient you were at getting the sugars out of your mash tun will have a big effect on
  your FG. You...

  Hey Chad have you ever let anyone with some beer tasting experience judge or critique your
  beers? Could this possibly be an issue with your palate? Just a thought.....i would be
  depressed if i were in...

  If this is one of your first brews I seriously suggest you hold off on the lagers and brew an
  ale first!! If you have stir plates and starter equiptment and some fermentation control then
  you could go...

  Well i am new to adding salt to my water profile, but when i plug your salts in it seems to me
  your sulfite/chloride ratio is accentuating the bitterness in the beer. Dont take this as
  gospel, i am ve...
