    Can i use DME instead of sugar to brew?

    1k of corn sugar/dextrose will work fine and give you a drinkable beer. DME can be used as a direct 1:1 replacement for corn sugar. I'd recommend using a light one if you are making a lager or light colured ale, darker if its a darker beer... It should give you better head, lacing and a bit...

    Nottingham!!!

    I picked up a Festa Brew Pale Ale wort bag today. Mainly because I wanted to see what this yeast is all about, since alot of people swear by it. It comes with a pack of it and i'll be washing it after the primary. Second reason was because half my friends are Keiths IPA fans. The Festa WC IPA...

    good kit beer

    Old topic, but I actually like the idea of a brewhouse/festabrew style section. I've made 8 or so Festabrew kits, mostly the Dry/Low Carb and 'hacked' it with different sugars and malt extract to see what happens. It's a great way to experiment without wasting a whole day on a boil and end up...

    I'm going to have a sore arm after bottling..

    the orange one is the only one i've followed the instructions on. Morgan's Canadian Pilsner. A no boil kit. I racked it today from a bucket and was wondering myself why it matches the rest of the old bar. L-R -Festa Dry w/ 250G light DME to raise it to 1.040 -Morgan's Canadian Pilsner w/ 1K...

    Gravity and ABV questions on my first batch

    I'm far from an expert, im a beginner myself. But I would let it sit for at least another week and take another reading. If its the same, then check again in a few days. If its at 1.021 still, then go ahead and bottle if you can't wait any longer.
