    Fermentation too low

    It had almost 3 weeks... In Chile we don't have liquid yeast, but i don't get why a yeast starter can't be done with dry yeast

    Fermentation too low

    Hey there partners: I only got one question: How do you ferment. Always with yeast starter? I ask this because i made a amber that had gravity of 1063 with an hidratated munston yeast pack and got a gravity when i bottled of 1023 and it was with no activity i mean no bubbles in 3 minutes...

    Hot Water Mash Question:

    Hey there partners: I have a question. I've seen some thermodinamical equations about mixing boiling water to raise temperature or just with knowing the pound/gallon ratio and some temperatures the temperature you have to have the water before mixing. Are there any bad opinions on this? I...

    best way to add body?

    I don't know if i'm accurate, but alfa-amilase does promote sugars that are less fermentable than beta-amilase (dunno if my english is right). Taken this into account, try to get good conditions to alfa-amilase, so your gravity after fermentation is higher wich means more body. Cheers JLubbert

    best way to add body?

    On my humble noob opinion, raise your temp... You can go up to 155 for a little longer time maybe... Regards JLubbert
