:D That's my dilemma! I think I'll let it go like that... I usually mash at 150-152F and even without dextrose, my beers usually end up a bit too low in body and "solvent-y" and from what I saw from the auto-siphon, it looks almost corona-esque in color. Thanks for the input guys, I'll report...

So after making a Pliny clone that was a huge success, I wanted to make something a bit less alcoholic and bitter. Unfortunately, I forgot to throw in the 0.75lb of dextrose during the last minutes of the boil. Do you guys think I should add it now or should I wait and see what my FG will be...

Beer: Pliny clone (+ Citra) Bikes: Colnago Krono (DA), Colnago Active (Chorus), Balfa BB7, Panasonic fixie, etc. :D

After many, many interrogations via Google - HBT always came up with millions of answers!

The fiancé actually scolds me when I start before she can do anything. :D Usually her and another friend of mine - but a lot of people wants to come watch the process, relax and have a homebrew... :D

I started brewing a few months ago because I was fed up with buying my scotch ale at the liquor store (nationalized...!) for around 2.75$ a 354ml bottle. Figured I'd just make my own to cut costs. While it costs considerably less (around 0.44$CAD per 500ml bottle for a big beer, lot less for a...

Thanks to the OP! Ah how I love HBT. :D I just bought a new fridge (Black & Decker BFEQ50 that also had a very easy to access screw) that I traded (actually sold it!) for a bigger, older and free Polaris. Found a small screw on the thermostat that I screwed all the way to the right... Seems...

Hi everybody! Started brewing a few months ago, figured it was the time to unlock the mysteries of yeast, malt and hops which always intrigued me, even though beer drinking was a vague and distant interest! So far it's been a fascinating venture. Started with a Cooper kit in April, which was a...
