Hello all,
I'm going to brew up my first ever extract brew this weekend. In doing my home work I noticed some people have issues with extracts not converting completly to fermentable sugars resulting in final gravities being a bit high. Is there a way to assist the enzymes in their work? I thought I read that honey has the proper enzymes all ready to go. is that right or did i misunderstand. And if i am correct in that, could I percivably add a few ounces of natural honey with the extract and maybe end up with a higher fermentable sugar percentage hopefully with out messing with the flavor of my beer? Or am I worrying too much about nothing?
Tahnks for all the good info!
