    Chill Haze

    Drinking my first brew. Tastes kind of strange. Pretty well no alcohol content. Seeing as how I only used 2 quatrs of LME for 5 gallons...:( (lessons learned) Good carbonation and all that, But my biggest frown is the CHILL HAZE... What causes this. What can a guy do to prevent it?

    Pale ale hops

    I read somewhere that when you are using LME that you should add a little extra hops. That includes all of the above Aroma, Bittering, Flavouring. If I remember correctly, the book said 25-40% extra hops for LME as comparred to what you would require for an AG brew. Does anyone know of this...
