It works. I carbonate a bottle of water in my sodastream add the chalk. It really only takes minutes for the amount I needed to dissolve for my Guinness clone.

You can do an iodine test. Take a few drops of your mash and add iodine. If it turns purple there is still unconverted starch. Light malted barley should have enough enzymes to convert itself and quite a bit more other grains.

Probably not necessary. I’d also be careful to keep it food grade.

Strange it’s $45 CAD to fill 20lbs and $30 for hydrostatic test for me.

I’m guessing it might turn into a volcano.

Hopefully it was clear before you bottled it. I’ve never had to help it clear.

It shouldn’t matter if pectic enzymes are present. But pasteurization with pectin will likely not be good. Probably go cloudy.

Whenever using fruit in wine it’s best to sulfite 24 hours before adding the yeast. If you have a bacterial problem this will usually deal with it.

Pectic enzyme works better before there is alcohol present but add it anyway. It help clearing. Pectic enzymes won’t affect natural carbonation but natural carbonation and back sweetening don’t really go together. Makes bottles explode.

Things take longer when cooler. I would suggest making a starter next time and waiting to see life before mashing.

What article are you referring too? I’m not sure about the foam but white particles might be crystals forming. Possibly potassium. You could try cold stabilizing. But are you sure it’s done fermenting? What’s the SG? Can you post a picture?

Nah think of it as more of the few calorie difference between the beer with gluco and without.

Maybe take up walking so you can drink better beer. See what your neighbors think if you do both at the same time.

Perhaps water is better if your counting calories lol. I like my beer with some body and flavor.

Are you going to risk projectile vomiting and diarrhea?

That said I’ve never added enzymes for making beer.

You add gluco after it’s cooled down at the start. It breaks complex sugars down to simpler sugars so easier for the yeast.

They are a treat :)

I take it you don’t like wee heavy’s etc?

If he adds sulfite and sorbate he wont be able to carbonate it. Let it finish fermenting before bottling. SG 0.990 or so. Add the appropriate amount of sugar for the carbonation level you desire and bottle. You won’t be able to have it sweet in the bottle and bottle carbonate it unless you use...
