Coming up with a new Brown ale recipe and I'm not a fan of sweet beers but I was wondering if I used, say, a pound of special b which would be extremely sweet but added a half pound of invert Sugar would this help balance out the sweetness?

This is my first time using this yeast and 24 hours in I have bubbles, krausen, and a yeast cake. Did white labs mis-package a lager strain?

The strainer in my funnel picked up these gelatin looking chunks when I was pouring the wort into my carboy, is this what Irish moss is supposed to do or am I on drugs?

I've got an NEIPA that is exceptionally thick, it has the consistency of a milkshake, and will not carbonate. I've had it on 30 psi for around 5 days now and carbonation is non-existent, though I shook it for about 10 minutes once and I got a very small amount of carbonation. I'm thinking about...

My BPA I believe finished fermenting with WLP 575 and I've got about an 1.5" of krausen but the yeast dropped. No signs of an infection and I'm at 78.4% attentuation. In the sample I noticed a good amount of diacetyl in the finish so could the yeast still be removing diacetyl at this point...

I deemed my second beer finished today and after tasting the sample it had a strong rubbing alcohol or hot smell to it. Not sure why. I've read it could be because of too hot of a fermentation or I've also read corn sugar can cause this. I used a smack pack of 1272 and the recipe required a...
