Hi everyone, I have made a batch of 'All Grain' Ginger beer. I.e not using coopers kit and it has come out REEEEALLLY dry. Can I add a sweetener to the priming solution? and if so what/ in what quantities? and will it add an off flavor? I have brewed 10l and it is nearly at 1.000 if that...

If it is neither then what would you suggest it coule be?

Its floating at the top Im pretty sure it is just very fine grain particles Either that or I have some kind of granular infection on day 1 :/

Hi, Im posting this here as I got advice on the subject a little while ago here and thought I would follow up too see if I have ruined my brew. Ok, It is my 1st venture into mashing grain. I have brewed a partial mash Dry stout. Ingredients: 1.6kg amber LME 250g Crushed pale malt...

thanks for the help. any recommendations on sites? :mug:

ok that sounds good. Yes I used a builders rammer in a fermentation bin to smash the s**t out of the apples then put it in an old 2nd hand press. But I didnt use campden tabs so am I likely to have an infection. genuine question, Is it me or are there less resources for cider making than...

Why are there so few recipes that only use apples? Is it due to ease of using juice? cost? etc? Just curious, i want to get into cider making and have made beer before. Is using all apples not comparable to all-grain ? Also, I attempted to make cider today. Got 1/2 gallon using...

Has anybody mde this with all malt?

This one was brewed as suggested by Cooper's, it came out at 3.5% as they suggest a small amount of fermentables. Nonetheless it is pretty nice, just a little thin

Oh yea, Im not complaining. It tasted nice :mug: I just want something to show off. This beer is old and was my 1st attempt so im not disheartened, better get back to work on it :tank:

I can imagine, as i say this was my 1st brew so i did not appreciate the power of malt :rockin: I bet its a bit cheeky when you malt/hop it up!

Hi thanks, yea it was nice. Head retention was non-existant but no complaints. Yes i mean Kit with malt (LME or DME) as opposed to sugar as i did Not all male, that just sounds odd. Tall dark glass of all male stout :( gulp

This is my 1st ever kit, been aged for a while and I tried it for the 1st time today. Not too bad I must say. Has anyone ever brewed this with all male? I used Demerera sugar so its a little thin Good stuff

yes the obscure measurements are conversions from grams.

Saaz is heavy on bittering? and 1.020 is predicted
