Greetings Gents!
Here is the basics...
-First time brewer
-Wheat Beer with orange peel and corriander seed
-4 lbs. EDME extract (tin can with shark on the front)
-3 lbs. spraymalt extract 55% wheat 45% barley (bag of fine off-white powder)
-1 oz corriander
-1 oz orange zest (both added last 15 mins of boil in roslyn bag)
-Like a fool added about a cup of granulated pure grain suger with 25 mins left in the boil, for no other reason then my friend saing "it will be cool"...i have no idea what this will do
-has been in primary of about 2 days now
So a few questions....
-Will that cup of sugar do anything, good or bad?
-Directions say it will be aprox. 4.9%. Is there any way to increace/ decreace this percentage?
-Is there any difference if I secondary ferment in a carboy? What are the pros and cons to carboy fermentation?
-What are some other good extracts to try?
Thanks for your time,
Tom
