Bringing the sugar levels back to the original recipe by adding more concentrate wouldn't work? There is not nearly enough sugar, and I would love to save the batch. Would taking a gravity after 2 days of pitching the yeast be useful? If it is I will go take one

No, I didnt take any gravity readings because my friend dropped my hydrometer. I just got a new one though, should I bother taking one now or just rack it onto the new concentrate? .. It won't be for a few days, my primary is full and I need more bottles

It is 14 extra cans of water, not one.

Hello, I messed up my batch of apfelwein. I used 14 cans of frozen apple juice and mixed with 3 cans of water instead of 2 as stated in another thread. I pitched montrachet yeast and got some activity and then found out I did it wrong. Can I go get 5-6 more cans of frozen apple juice and...

Alright, so I made a starter with 1/2 cup of LME and a liter of water, boiled for 10 min. Set in ice bath until it reached 80, funneled into a half gallon growler. Here it is only a few hours later. Is this how it should look?

Hmmm. Interesting, I got 14 cans of frozen apple juice so I may try it.

I researched and only found one person who has used t-58 yeast with apfelwein. I have an extra pack laying around. How would this turn out if I used the safbrew t-58 yeast?

From what I have read, it increases the yeast count which will prevent off flavors due to "too little" yeast being stressed. It also allows for a better fermentation and ill reduce the chance of a stuck fermentation, especially with high gravity beers.

Alright, I got a kit on the way (Belgian Witbier w/ White Labs Belgian Wit Ale 400) I have never used liquid yeast before. This is the pitchable tube and I do not have any extra malt extract to use to make the starter. Do I need to buy malt extract to make the starter or can I use some...

How would 9 days in the primary/ 2 weeks secondary, ? weeks in bottle? 3 or more?

I may get a wort chiller, debating it. How long should it condition even if the readings are the same?

Okay, I brewed successfully i think... I racked to a secondary after 9 days so I could brew again. How long should I be in the secondary? Is 2 weeks plenty of time. I didn't take hydro readings and will probably do so but I am assuming 3 weeks is more than enough time for it to be ready...

I was going to cool in a rubbermaid garbage can with ice on the bottom and covering most of the sides.

Anyone have any idea on boiling more than 2.5 gallons?

I am getting ready to brew tonight and thought I would start a thread for my first time. First of all, the instructions say to boil 2.5 gallons of water, can I do more if I want to? It also says after the wort is chilled top off to 5.25 gallons in the ferment bucket. Why not 5 gallons...

21 here ..

Also, will any of these chemicals significantly alter the taste of the beer -chlorine, fluoride, and aluminum sulfate?
