  Hi,Does anyone have any extract recipes for a low-alcohol beer (AKA small-beer, table-beer in
  Belgium)? I figure if I'm going to drink the amount I did last night on a regular basis I
  should try makin...

  4.89 lb Light Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 75.0 %Is this dry or liquid? It seems like quite a low
  amount, but presumably that's because it's a mild so lower gravity?. Sorry, still a bit of a
  n00b.Thanks.

  Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I'm not really prepared to warm up a box with any
  electrical device; I've already had one heater-pad that overheated and melted its plastic
  casing. I realise risk...

  Hi,It's been relatively cool here in Sydney, not getting above 16c/60F for a couple of months.
  I made a batch of APA anyway and fermented it with a heater belt which worked out fine. However

  Thanks everyone.The beer has already been in primary for two weeks; unfortunately I'm not in a
  position to do a secondary (I was under the impression it was largely optional for ales
  anyway). I was go...

  I've brewed an extract APA and it's been in the fermenter for two weeks now. The samples are
  tasting good, but it's very cloudy, it looks a bit like a river mud. I've placed the sample in
  the fridge a...

  You will be just fine letting it naturally drop to around 60F once fermentation is complete,
  with US-05 probably a week to 10 days. You may find that this actually helps you to clarify the
  beer too, a...

  (Warning: Advice from a noob coming up ...)If the fermentation sticks try adding a microscopic
  amount of olive-oil; say dip a piece of wire in the oil then into a small amount of water, boil
  then pitc...
