Serious answer: You have exceeded my level of chem-foo. Except at they are alcohols with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and not an (H2O) attached to each carbon.
Un-serious answer: If you take one of these with your xylitol or sorbitol you will not have the issues aforementioned.

An alcohol is any organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom as in ethanol CH3-CH2-OH
Carbon-hydrates are hydrated carbon chains and can be written as Cn-(H2O)n, hence their name carbohydrates. Ethanol can't be written this way.

If you are trying to reduce weight you should drink this.
Zero carbs and zero sugar. A bit miss leading though. I guess alcohol doesn't count as a carb.

If you used 3.5# of honey for your JOAM (if you didn't you can't call it JOAM :cross:) you should have had a OG of ~1.145. This correlates to a Brix of over 30. Your current BRIX of 18.8 corresponds to a SG of ~1.03 and an ABV in the 14%-15% range (see caveat below.) I recently made modified...
My setup uses threaded camlocks and 1/2" silicon tubing. I had read in various places that it is difficult to get the tubing on to the calmock but that was not my experience. My suggestions are to make sure that you cut the tubing carefully so that the ends are square and even. This will...
I got 2 more corny kegs, a thermowell stopper for my Brew-pi build, 3 Blichmann Brewmometers, 4 shanks with SS faucets, (no tap handles though), a Hops poster, 2 wooden beer signs, and a homebrew bottle opener. :ban:
Thank you Hujo for the information. I will look through these sites later today.
edit: As for the wheat; it was originally brewed with wheat but that was changed out for barley a long time ago. (+100 years) Also, there are both ale and lager versions depending on the yeast used.

I know this thread is a bit old but did you locate a recipe for Jule Hvidtøl? I'm interested in trying this out. Is there one on the Norwegian site? I'll need an English translation though. Skaal
