I made a batch with too match water, was suppoose to be 5 gallons but I used 22.5 litres. How much priming sugar should I use? I noticed my beers are not as carbonated as I like. I used 3/4 cups dextrose previously in a 22.5 litre batch

Oh I see, everone is getting nerdy on me! lol no wonder I couldnt make any sense of my google search results on that word.

Hey, I went there today and it looked much more normal, krausen was uniform overtop the beer what is a Euclidean infection? Could it be possible

I started laughing hysterically and my grandfather, who i brewed this for at his house and knows nothing about beer thought I was crazy. I wish there was some way to take a picture it looked alieve

Hello all This is around my 4th batch. I used Coopers IPA pre hopped malt extract. 2lbs DME light, and about 200gr of dextrose. Got 5 gallons to a boil, stopped boil, mixed in ingrediants, cooled quickly and into the fermenter for primary. Pitched the can yeast which looked pretty viable...

Hello all I have the coopers IPA extract kit I will be making in a few days. The kit calls for 500g DME light and 300g corn sugar. In the reviews I have read this will produce a low gravity for an IPA. My question is, will I benefit if i forget about the corn sugar and go with 2lbs light...

Hello All Have brewed a few extract kits and want to try my hand on a partial mash. Currently I have one kit left, its a coopers IPA kit. Which is pre hopped liquid malt extract and some DME light 500g. For a partial mash would I want to add specialty grains or Base grains in combination...

haha ah man that is hilarious.

I think next time ill try using a couple smaller bottles for a taste test along the way. This batch is all 1litre bottles so i dont wanna waste that on something premature. Good advice on squeezing the bottle tho, i squeezed mine and im pretty sure its way firmer then initially

I see your points in regards to tasting beer along the way, but at this point there is nothing I could due to fix a problem. I have this batch bottled, and two, five gallon batches sitting in the primary, so im well on my way to making a pipeline :) With the amount of beer I drink, there...

im waiting minimum 2 weeks before cracking one. at which point ill cave in and try one. But ive made wine my whole life and I know its not worth it untill its at its best

Hello I have bottled some brew about 4 days ago in one litre PET bottles. I used 3/4 cup priming sugar into about 4 3/4 gallons on beer. I left about an INCH of head in the bottle. First, was what i have done correct Second, is there any way to tell if carbing has been done without...

Again thanks for your help. Im very disapointed with the half assed advice the store gave me. Believe me when i say it was half assed.. I can not even trust them enough to ask for advice on making a recipe which is what I want to do. I was under the impression these kits could be...

Wow ok, sorry if i wasnt clear im new to this. Anyways I meant the LME is prehopped this has already been established. I am disapointed about the grains, the women told me this was good for a 5 gallon batch? And would add flavor! This is ridiculous........ How much more would I need...

I am also confused if i need to steep, or mash? With this kind of grain. What kind of flavor will this grain release?
