    Beer too Light & Low OG

    Pic says it all. Supposed to be a Belgium Wheat. I used 6lbs of Wheat DME, & some hops, but my og is so low. The fermentation is taking off nicely, but I don't want some weak, flavorless beer.

    What's the Difference Between Booster & Nutrient?

    I ordered both these, but now I think they might be different kinds of the same thing? I should just add one to my yeast starter?

    Where Do I Find An Ice Chest Thing to Store Fermentors?

    I store my fermenting buckets/carboys in my pantry, but I'd like to keep my temps lower than the temp in there, so I'd like to put it into a flexible cooler that I can just put some frozen 2 liters in with buckets to keep temps lower. I'm looking for a two three bucket/carboy sized thang. Thanks
