Sooo... I'm unhappy with my weak beer as of late.
It's moving right along in the carboy... there's a little extra space at the top.... maybe an inch below from where the wide part of the carboy starts to curve towards the top. I'm thinking of buying a pound or so of raspberries (maybe even blackberries or something weird like cloudberries), rinsing them off, blending them up with a wee bit of water, adding some DME/cane/corn sugar, boiling it up, and tossing it in there with the rest of the batch. The OG for what's in the carboy right now was 10.35, and I took the reading in the bucket at about 80F, and I haven't done any calibrating on my hydrometer yet, so I don't trust that number too much.
Comments, tips, suggestions?
