  Thanks! I understand the way to improve the brew the next time. The problem I am having right
  now is that I have 10 gallons of 1.008/9 IPA not bottled yet. Do you think I should "thicken"
  it with malt...

• Posted in thread: What happens to the calories? on 02-24-2013 at 08:00 PM
  As far as I remember: The calories in the finished fermented is definately lower. The yeast
  cells are using the carbohydrates in "glycolysis" breaking them down first to pyruvate, then
  lactate which a...

  So you think I should leave this one as is, and rather improve on the next batch? I don't think
  I am able to taste if it will be too dry/bitter right now without carbonation, so I thought
  maybe you co...

  Hi!I just sampled my IPA and it ended with an FG of 1.008/9!!! It's quite dry and bitter. Do
  you guys think I should go for a bit lactose/maltodextrin/soaked crystal for more balance, or
  should I just...

  Thanks! I agree ;)My problem is also that I used quite a bit of bitter hops, and would

  simmer, and I thou...

  OK then. I was afraid of that, but my beersmith gave it gravitypoints even though I listed my
  recipe as extract with the grains as steeped. Well well.. Are there any good examples of really
  dry ipas b...

  Hi!I love IPA's and make them regulary(extract). I always end up thinking the ones I make are
  too thick/sweet and not bitter enough(I have a bit too light boil from small stove), so I
  decided this tim...

  That is quite unsettling. Are you really sure about this? Tried to look it up, but only found
  some other forums discussing it. Do you have any scientific evidence for this? Couldn't find
  anything spes...

  Hello!I was making a mead about a week ago, and at about 1/3 sugar break, I was supposed to add
  24g of dap. I was a bit in a hurry and accidentally added 24g of monosodium glutamate(flavour
  enhancer)....

  Mine seems very fermentable. Where do you get the idea that it creates unfermentable sugars.My
