I read that this might be a preservative. It does say that it's been pasteurized.
On the ingredients it does say "May contain sulfites."
This juice is real cheap 50% off right now. You think I should buy some and try it out?

I have:
Muntons Crystal 64.0
Muntons Pale Malt 2.25
Non-Malted Black Barley (Roasted)
Chocolate Malt
And fuggle hops. Although I can always buy more hops. Are there any good recipes which call for most of these...

Tastes great now. Weird smell gone, taste the hops. This beer took longer to be drinkable than I thought.
Mmmmm............ Good stuff....... I have to try this recipe a few more times to understand all grain better...
I know. lol.

It fermented out from 1.067 to 1.020. I thought maybe adding it to the...
cool, thanks.
I think i'll leave it for 2 weeks in the secondary and then bottle it.
Even if its 4% id still be happy. But it going down to 1.020 makes me think it might only come out to 3% ... Hmmm.
I assume this would be a super low alcohol beer. As it only went from 1.050 yo 1.020.
Im not sure what the exact % would be. I'll keep posting in a week and I hope it goes down some. :cross:
