All,
Thanks for the advice it sounds like I need to scratch the kit all together. What I am looking for is a beer that is going to be liked by a mixed crowd since I will be sharing most of it. I love IPAs but a lot of people don't. What is a good recipe for a flavorful beer at about 7% to 8%...
I am not talking about a particular kit just generally speaking. Is it as simple as just adding sugar or is it more complicated than that? If the kit says: 4%-5% ABV how do you get it to 7%-8% ABV?
Apparently sugar, yeast and water is called "Kilju" or "sugar wine." The Finnish make it lol. Has anyone tried this I guess the only flavor you'd get is from whatever type of yeast you use?
It should work but can't really tell you what it will taste like. It will also be hard to ever get a lot of clarity but you probably knew that going in.
Yes, I had a batch of sake that was undrinkable. It had a sour milk smell and even taste to it. Not sure what I did wrong because I followed the instructions carefully. Probably won't try that again. Beer wise no all of my beer batches even my first have been at minimum drinkable.
I had a friend ask me the other day what is technically the cheapest way to make alcohol that is also drinkable. The things I thought of were inmate brew (welches, champagne yeast and nutrient) or possibly sake but I wanted to see what you guys thought was the cheapest alcohol you could make...
