Strong kind of fruity tasting.

I'll give them I try. I recently ordered from the homebrewery out of Ozark Missouri, but they are farther and a little more expensive. Thanks for the help and happy brewing.

I live in the south Texas area by the border and I am having no luck finding any local home brew shops. Anybody operate an off the radar store anywhere between McAllen Tx and Brownsville?

@ACbrewer, I think I would have better luck ordering a wert chiller. I wouldn't have thought of using a bathtub to chill wert. Thank you for the tip.

I tried the same thing with another beer I made which was a partial extract. I just doubled up on hops and it came out really good. So i thought I would try it again.

I used a Yeast Strain 510. Kicker, I also used about 3oz of sweet orange peel from a package during the boil process,to take away that natural bitterness when making ales.

Can I do that with a full recipe of all grain or am I only restricted to extract this way?

I will keep in mind thank you for the advice. I think I will cut my loss and move on. Fortunate I kept some notes. Unfortunate that where I live I can't exactly go out and buy a wert chiller at my local brew store because there isn't one. So I'm learning by trial and error. Is there a recipe...

Sorry, it read .990 should I rack it or let sit in its filth for a couple more days?

I'm sorry not 15% abv. I didn't get the 1.000 number. Like I said beginner here.

To be honest I do not remember the reading I did from the hydrometer just that it read 15%.

I also added a bag of malt dextrose and about 1 cup of brown sugar to help boost the gravity level because it was low. Final gravity was about 1.035. And temperature was 89f when I pitched my yeast.

First off I'm new to this forum, and I live in a city where there are no home shops or people to ask advice on certain brews. So if anybody would help answer a question to a problem of mine, I would appreciate it greatly. I made my first brew using all grain, specifically 8lbs for a 5gal yield...
