Ok thanks. But was that infection or some other type of "normal/expected" reaction? What is it exactly? In any case, I planned on waiting and see if I get sick after the first one :-) Cheers!

I did the ag version 2 months ago and bottled it least week. I think it might have bene infected...but again, I'm not sure. There was a white film on top of the wort. It was thin and breakable - I tried to scoop it out, but it would not come as a "skin" - it was crumbling. It was pretty...

My brew last Sunday went just great, and my candied sugar was perfect. Thanks for all the tips - a good thing to keep in my notes.

I am currently boilling a slightly adjusted AG version of the Dragonmead. It is for a 23 liters (6 gallons) batch and goes like this : 6kg Pilsner 2 rows 750g Munich Malt 500g Carafoam 35g Hallertau (5.2%) 28g Styrian Goldings (4.3%) 28g Saaz (3.2%) 300g table sugar I caramelized (see...

OK Didn't know this! thanks for the info.

Has anybody tried with brown sugar instead of amber/dark candy sugar? Just out of curiosity...:cross:

Hi there. I don't know what the others think, but to my point of view, to save you a bit of time, since you are going to boil the water with the DME anyway, there is no point in using pre-boiled water. This will save you a bit of troubles :)

No trouble. Just wanted to be sure! Thanks again!

I guess you meant you use regular sugar...right? Thanks, I'll try this - lot cheaper than buying candied sugar!

Thanks guys for the replies. And what about the inverted sugar process? Is this a myth? Can sugar be used as is and still be "used" by the yeast?

Sorry, this HAVE been asked in other posts, but I could not find a clear anwswer. I saw a lot of different references from books, sites, people, ..., but there is too much contradictions and I am still confused. I am asking for people own experience with this subject. I've been reading a...

I know which one you are talking about, and I would be more than happy to find a recipe similar to that one! I'll keep an eye on this thread for sure.

Ok. Thanks. I'll try to find something similar for AG. Cheers!

I see he is hard at work...or else he is well started with homebrew :). Have a great Sunday!

Hi there. Would you mind sharing your orange creamsicle recipe by any chance? It looks quite interesting for a summer beer! Something my wife would like for sure! Is it am ag! Thanks!

Just wanted to share my beer session. It is running just perfectly, with great sun and perfect temperature here in Repentigny, Quebec, Canada! I'm making a modified Blanche De Chambly clone. Cheers! Sorry, I don't kno why, I have double attachment...does it make it an even better day :) ?

Hi hops2it. I will try my best to answer your questions, but like I said before, I'm no expert. This is what I have been able to figure out by what I read an what people told me. First of all, starters are for liquid yeast only. What are the reasons for this? I can't remember...

I agree with what you said : better have a small starter than none. If you normally have success without a starter, a small one should be good enough. Good luck

Brilliant! Thanks for the tip! Now, if I could only have my thing ballanced....

Jukas. I somewhat agree with you, but my stirplate is not working as I would like. The computer fan I used is off balance with the magnet I glued on it, and I did not have an erlenmayer (or whatever you call this thing in english), so I am using a pyrex coffee pot. My stirbar starts everyonce...
