he says, 1.008 stable for 2 days... I will follow Jack into the outback. Thats pretty quick beer... can drink 2 weeks after bottling or age.... Thanks.

Nope... First time me and "Jack" have met! Its a malt extract from Australia. 1.7 kg Just seems like a short ferment to bottle. too good to be true?

I have Mangrove Jacks Czech Pilsener extract and 2 lbs of brown sugar brewing in a 7 gallon primary now for only 5 days... The directions say to actually bottle after 5-7 days?? at temps between 64 and 86?? Does this seem a little soon? Are max temps a little high for a pilsener...

Hmmm did I say Tangy??? Maybe cidery... Hopefully that will lessen with aging? 1. Too warm pitch yeast & fermenting 2. Too much sugar 3. Made the mistake of boiling hopped extract 4. Didnt need 2 stages. 5. Probably did not wait long enough before bottling (14 days) 6. Did not take...

OK... Bottled 26, 22oz bottles from 4 1/2 gallons and primed with those sugar pellets (2). Storing in a big plastic storage bin at room temp (74 degrees). I'm wondering how many days til carbonation? I'm going to drink one every week until its just right! But it really did taste pretty darn...

Ok going to bottle and store for 2weeks then try one. It seems to taste ok ... Nothing too unusual about the flavor so far , but I cannot really tell much without carbonation. Good alcohol content it seems, No infections or horrible tastes or smells... I may have gotten lucky

Everyone thanks for great comments and advice. Yes I'll be one of those to sample the brew along the way. Maybe a question for a different thread but is there a chart or conversion app that can convert sugar measurements to corn syrup? Or Brown sugar to table sugar conversions etc. For...

I end up doing 3-4 weeks in a primary. Cold crash and then keg. I PLAN TO USE 22oz bottles as I have no keg, but what do you mean by cold crashing the pre kegged or bottled beer? Thanks for the info BTW.

Great learning post... Thanks!

No grav reading... I really dropped the ball on this first batch and I'll be much more attentive on the next one.... I forgot the first reading. But hey it tasted pretty good.

LOL... Im bottling in 3 or 4 days probably. I just wanted a little taste.:drunk:

Hi all... Once my first brew has fermented about 90% and has a load of alcohol going in it... Can it still get infected?? Does the alcohol kill off any germ or bugs? The reason I ask is I got impatient after 14 days of fermenting (The bubbling has almost come to standstill) and stuck a...

Thanks matt... hey do you know how much light brown sugar I could use to replace 1kg (2.2) lbs of dextrose?? Its for a mangrove jack Czech pilsener extract. Thanks again. First batch still bubbling in carboy. 10 days now. I found a place here in town to buy premier malt extracts for...

I'll do a grav check tomorrow Matt. It didnt taste of very strong alcohol after the 7 days.... I hope it bumps up a little more in three weeks. Its still percolating in the airlock though. I prolly should have just left it in the #1 bucket but I wanted to try out the glass carboy and the siphon...

OK 7 days into it I transferred it into a glass carboy and gave it a taste... it did not taste bad or good. Just like weak flat dark ale. I suppose more fermenting time will do the trick. My questions : 1. There was no funk at all after 7 days, just a fine silt at the bottom of the bucket...

I was born and raised in the city of Rosemead california. Went to Rosemead High school... 3 years later after it's posted (2009-2012) I will try this old recipe.

Thanks... What are the main differences in ingredients between Belgian Pales and American pales?? :mug:

JB Sayers, Yes I did this and now have a decent temp. Thanks. It's bubbling away now and Hopefully there was not too much time spent in a bad range. If the beer tastes good when finished I will buy up all the premier malt at our little market here. Another brewer says YES you must boil the...
