Alright guys thanks for the responces. I understand, guess I'll try malt extract next time and not add anything extra. Guess we will find out in time how awful this abomination is. I think next time I'll try a red beer.

I understand that its to sugary at this point. What can I do that will improve this ****y beer. I'm on a budget I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. Thats why I bought a canned kit.

So by me adding an extra .010 to the original gravity I ruined the beer?

There's nothing I can do to it? I can't add hops or any grains? I don't know how or when to use these things. I was also asking if I added that much sugar to it then why didn't the original gravity change much?

Its only 2 kg of sugar in total. And you are saying I can't add hops? Wouldnt this add flavor?

I made a canned kit of muntons Canadian ale on Sunday night. It called for 1 kg of sugar to get a og of 1.044. I got about 1.040 with that amount of sugar, so I wanted to add more to add a little more alcohol. I added about another kg and it only rose to 1.050. What's the deal? How much sugar...

Anyone have any idea?

If Nottingham and safale 23 are the same yeast strand is there really much of a difference between them in quality?

What do you mean by open up the nose? I've used that yeast in a fiesta kit, it does work really well. So do you think I should head back to the lhbs and swap out the nottington? And on the dry hops, you just drop in one ounce? Is it blended up? I've never used dry hops before.

So I picked up some muntons Canadian ale in the can. I also picked up some Nottingham yeast. If you were I, how would you make it awesome? Without spending to much money of course. Anyone have experience making this ale?

Lol OK.

Alright, well that's relieving. I wonder if I should pop one open to see how its doing

I did up a fiesta blonde lager there awhile ago. I bottled it Monday with 210 grams of corn sugar. The room temp in here gos up to 82f and I can not lower it at this time. Will it make my beer carb faster? Will it mess with the taste? I tasted some before bottleing and it was great. Just...

I do agree with what you are saying. Just curious about the idea. With that equation abv should be 4.7 which is alright I guess. I would be happier with 5.5 to 6 though. Perhaps I'll experiment on my next batch

What will the abv be? The kit says it should end at 1.010 to 1.008. If I wanted to strengthen it abit could I add sugar to the secondary when I rack it?

Yeah og was at 1.044

Well. Last night I stopped pondering ideas and what to do. I just did it. Pitched it directly with 2 packets of s23. Its bubbling pretty good now at 20 c. Guess we will see what happens. I'll let you guys know. Hopefully its not a train wreck. My next beer will probley be an ale. But I'd also...

OK. But if I was to go pick up an ale yeast is the wort so different that it would taste off? I'm wondering what it would do to the flavor of the blonde lager wort. The s 23 yeast that glcomes with the kit says it can ferment between 18-23 but ideally 8-12. I'm considering picking up a liquid...

Hmmmm. I'll have to stop into the store to see if I can find some yeast or I might just wing it with what I have.

Can I use this wort and put in a different yeast? Perhaps an ale yeast?
