    First Failure

    Possible but the recipe called for 2 pounds of sugar and I didn't have a scale so I think I put too much in, thus cider.

    Well I guess haha It's just sour man. Trying to fight through it. It's 7.8% abv so at least a little buzz will be had haha

    First Failure

    Popped the cap on my batch of amber ale last night and it was straight cider... Yuck. This is my first failed brew and I chalk it up to a bad recipe an poor calculations. You win some you lose some, and I am growing as a brewer from it.

    Cider tasting at bottle...

    So I bottled my Amber ale the other day and It had a very dry cidery taste and smell. The recipe called for 2 lbs of sugar and I think that is what did it, also it went from 1.080 to 1.020 gravity (as planned). Do you think this can mellow out in the bottle? Or am I forced to drink 55 sour...

    Dry hopping in primary?

    No I had several hop infusion in the boil I just love hops and want to get a little flavor and mostly aroma. I am using a carboy so I can't really use a bag :/ is there an alternative?

    Dry hopping in primary?

    This is my first time dry hopping and I am going to dry hop my amber ale and I really never use a secondary so can I just add whole hops to the primary? Does that cause a problem the racking? And how much should I use for a 5 gallon batch ?

    Start of a new era.

    Just cracked the cap off of my first finished home brew. Took a long swig and it tasted great. The love of my newfound hobby travelled from my palate to my stomach and I am hooked. Can't wait for batch 25. Cheers

    Re-pitching

    Yea another thing was that I had a smack pack and it didn't swell I think the yeast might have been dead, but I used dry yeast this time and made a starter

    Re-pitching

    Originally I pitched at around 90-100 degrees which was my fault. Now the wort in a steady 70 degree spot and I pitched the yeast at about 80 degrees
