Thanks for the advices, the gravity came out as 1036 which should lead to a light honeybitter

Is the idea to get it in a liquid form or wait for a hot break and then add it? And thanks for all the replies, without you i would have failed plenty of times already.

How should i add the Malt Extract? Straight in and stir or boil first with water and then add? I happen to have Amber as spraymalt

The scale that gives me 1022 seems to be the Specific Gravity, SG scale

And if i am reading the wrong scale, the other says 1060. This scale is grams of sugar per a liter, it has to be the Gravity reading right? :)

The scale i am reading might be wrong, as im a first timer with OG. As a recipe i used: 1,5kg(3,3 lb) of Yorkshire bitter malt extract 500g (1,1 lb) of Honey 50g (0.11lb) of saaz-pellets The amount of ready product was 23 liters (5 gallons)

I'm looking for a light honeybitter here. 4% of vol or so. The gravity reading came out as 1022 which seems to be too low. I pitched the yeast just before taking the reading, should this affect to the reading? The temp was also somewhere near 75°F (24°C). Should i be worried about something...

Thanks for the replies. I do know that i'm asking alot, i wanted to see if there would have been a simple solution. I will read the book, i've done some research on websites for newbie instructions, but have realized that there is no easy way to master these things. The spraymalt was not...

I'm about to brew my second batch. It's going to be a light honeybitter -stylish beer. I talked with my LHBS and they told me that i could use a 1,5kg (3,3lb) of bitter malt extract and some spraymalt (i bought Medium, 18EBC) for good results. The malt extract instructions say that i should add...

The text is really nice, change the texture under your text and fade out the moon so it wont "pop out" that way. Keep it simple and it'll be kewl.

Yeah, i know that now. It's just that i didn't read any homebrewing literature before i did this batch. Damn those maltecxtract instructions. :mad:

In Finland, a sweet mead called Sima, is a brew that we drink on the Finnish Vappu (May Day) festival. I need to get a bottle and try it out if it's sweet, the aroma is sweet, can't remember if it actually tastes sweet. Thanks for the advice!

I also noticed that my uncarbonated beer smells like sweet mead. I fermented it for 10days, when the bubbling was slow and random (like 5-10minutes for the next bubble to come out). Is this common and will it disappear after the carbonation? Because i think that the problem might be too quick...

Ok, thanks :)

Ok, i have a basement that's 72°F, will that be ok? Or do i need to find another place to put them?
