No I never got to start this batch yet. The first batch was the bitter one but thanks. How much hops should be used in this American Light? I mean at the brew shop they gave me a good bit of hops

The batch that was bitter was a Muntons Cerveza Kit. I just followed the destructions on the can.

I have a filter in the kitchen so the water taste like bottled water. The malt is unhopped

Is Oxi Clean a good cleaner for all brew supplies?

Not really just looking for a good tasting beer and normal ABV.

It came with 6.6 lbs of Briess malt extract. Do I need more to add or would that be enough?

I have read and read and read and read. I just wanted to make sure. I used a muntons canned kit before and it turned out very bitter. I just dont want this batch to turn out that way. I want to know what went wrong.

I was going to boil it first anyway. Next question is, It came with priming sugar and another 1 pound of sugar should I add this sugar ?

Ok everyone I went to the brew store last night and got a American Light. (partial grain kit) I have a few questions to ask before I get it started. This is my first partial grain attempt. There is more hop pellets that I would have thought first of all. One of my main questions is,Will it be ok...

Thank you all for the tips and the help on all this

Thanks for the straight foward answer. All I wanted to know in just one simple line.

I added 2lbs of corn sugar to the wort before fermentation. This is what the instructions on the can said to do. So could this be the reason for it being so bitter?

OK everyone the beer is still a little more bitter than I would like. But you can still drink it :) Could this be because I added 2bls of corn sugar as it said to on the label ? The more I read ,The more I see that most AG recipes dont call for added sugar

I have been doing prehopped kits. And all of the kits that I have done call for 2lbs. of corn sugar. So the sugar from the malt will be enough for the yeast ? I know this may sound dumb to most. But it never says anything about adding sugar. In any partial or all grain recipe that I have seen

I am going to try this partial grain brewing. I have read How To Brew by:John Palmer. A very good book might I add. What I want to know is when you pour the wort into the fermenter. For fementation do you add any corn sugar or any other sugar to the wort ? If yes how much would I add ?

I did this beer at Ale temperature It is very clear It is more bitter than Corona but it got less bitter in the end of fermentation I think the more it ages the better it will be
