  Honey ferments fully so you won't taste it, but will make a drier beer. If you want honey taste
  add honey malt. It is pretty sweet, so I use sparingly. Also you may want to replace some of
  that crysta...

  I know this thread is old, but did any one get sulfur aromas when using Campden?

  threads would come...

  I have dumped more batches than I can recall. Double digit number of batches, certainly, and

• Posted in thread: First stout I made came out to foamy, any idea why? on 05-13-2013 at 07:05 PM
  How long has it been in bottles? It really needs 3 wks to carb properly. It can be foamy if

  I would shoot for something around 5% and would prob do a 5 gal batch. Pitch plenty of yeast,
  ferment at 68 and use Whirfloc.
