    Northern Brewer kits tasting fruity

    Unfortunately, I'm at work so I don't have the OG/FG on hand. I'm doing 1 gallon batches. Is there a good way to test gravity without disrupting the fermenting process too much? I usually let it ferment for 2-3 weeks and then bottle. Are these 2 fruity beers lost or will they level back out?

    Northern Brewer kits tasting fruity

    Yea I started in January and I remember coming out to check on the beers in the morning and it was 63-64. I'm sure that helped with the fermenting. Now its 66 degrees. They were pitched directly in, then strained out by a fine mesh strainer and then an even finer strainer on my funnel when...

    Why would all my other beers turn out ok, but these 2 turn out fruity? Will that fruitiness go away?

    2.5 gallon BIAB with 4 gallon kettle

    Can I do a 2.5g batch of BIAB with a max 4 gallon kettle? I want to mash in what water I can get in the kettle, do the sparge and boil process then dump water in the fermenter to bring up to 2.5g. Is that going to throw the numbers off or affect the beer?

    5 gallon recipe not converted down for 2.5gallon brew

    hmm I just had a thought. If I took the ingredients that are for a 5 gallon recipe (Example this kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AC5WM6I/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) and used them on the 2.5 gallon recipe, water converted for a 2.5 gallon recipe only, would it just be a really strong beer?
