I went with sugar. Yeah I had enough dextrose but I have kids and a wife that mess with my stuff all the time. I'm crossing my fingers they don't explode. It's only my second batch of beer. I do t have to worry with wine and melomel

I didn't see your post. Thanks a lot kind sir. But what will honey do

That's a lot of calculating. Can I just add a squirt of honey?

I lost my bag of priming sugar. I had a little left over from last batch but it's not enough. How much table sugar can I use. I put about 1/3 cup dextrose in 4.5 gal of a light ale. It's sitting in the bottling bucket and I am ready for bottling

Not down here in south ga. Maybe in big cities

Nah I live in the woods of south ga. Can I just put it in the fridge till tomorrow? They don't sell beer on sunday in georgia.

What can I do with a gallon of beer and no bottles? Stella bottles won't fit my capper and that was half of my bottles

I do my wine in a closet or under the bath sink. Comes out good. I dont use kits. I pick fresh fruits and berries off of my farm. All i have to buy is a yeast pack.

Im using my wine stuff. Ive been making it for years now. This is my first attempt at beer. An it seems like alot to go through. If it turns out really good then ill build it all

wait... what? too much head is a bad thing ? don't tell her that :mug:

i think i can come up with something by the next brew, i hope this one comes out good. if it turns out to be crap i might not brew beer again wine is much easier theres alot to brewing beer, alot of money involved

I live on the florida georgia line where it is 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity most of the year. I dont run my ac when i am at work. Where is a good place to store the beer? Any one else around here go through this?

Yeah ive been looking and looking for something to do with pears besides wine a cider. Ive done those and blah blah blah. As a chef there has to be a way to liquify the pears and make beer or add it to it.

Can i add syrup to a wort at the last of boiling. Kinda like honey? Ive got tons of pears and i can make a pear syrup

Yeah i have looked it up and there is nothing about doing it. Make a wine or perry or something like that. What about making a pear caramel or pear honey or something like that? Mix that into the wort or secondary. Is there a way to cook it down to a liquid malt like substance?
