Just curious, but has anyone ever used pop/soda as way to add fermentable sugar to their beer? Is this even possible? Also...what are some of the weirder ingredients that you have used to increase your fermentable sugars?

Thanks for the reply cervezarara! I think that this is exactly it. I am certain that we were steeping at too hot of a temperature. Those were the first two batches that we switched to a burner from the stove and we were having difficulties keeping the tempeture in control. Thanks,

The last couple of my beers that I have brewed are getting more bitter as time goes on. For example, we had let our beer bottle condition for three and then when we start drinking the beer and the beers seem to evolve into a more bitter beer each week. Why is this happening? The beers in...

I know that this message board kind of died off. But did anyone consider the environment/social aspect?

Thanks for all of the quick responses! Unfortunately, I did not take a hydrometer reading after the primary. I figured that beer was done ferementing because I left it in there for 8 days and on day 5 in the fermenter it was already down to 1-2 "bubbles" in the airlock every minute. I am also...

Hey, This was my first homebrew and I when I was transferring my beer from the primary fermentor to the secondary fermentor, I noticed that it didn’t even come close to filling the 5 gallon glass carboy (looks like only 4 gallons of beer). I was using a 5 gallon recipe kit from my local home...
