That’s everything other than a pan that I washed and boiled the malt mix in.

It was the most disgusting thing I have ever had and I’ve eaten army food for the past 8 years.

Ok........ it’s as flat as water. It tastes like absolute ass. What do I do?

Ty. I’ll check it out

Maybe.

Ahhhh yes sorry did miss that point lol. I’ll check it out and see what I can do. I tried a really nice dark beer as my first brew. It had a weird chemical taste at first sip but had an amazing Smokey chocolate flavor once swallowed. I put the weird taste down to bad sterilization but after...

I’m not really looking for fast beer. I really want to find something I like and play with it by adding hops and other flavors to get what I am looking for. This is about my 3rd or 4th brew but the others I did from an information sheet I got from the home brew store. I no longer live there as I...

Yeah I let it ferment for a week longer than the can said and I wasn’t sure how long to bottle it for. I’ll see tomorrow how it is. I’ve hyped it up with my guys at work that I hope it’s a good one.

Ok I’ll stick one in the fridge tonight and give you guys the answer tomorrow night.

I have 24 bottles 16oz each. The temp i’m not 100% on but it’s in the house but it’s near an outside door so if I was to take a guess I’d say high 60’s to low 70’s. I have enough to check at least a couple. In doing the check do I just pop one open or chill it and check it?

Yeah unfortunately I don’t have a hydrometer and don’t know the readings before fermentation so I have no bench mark to go off. Should I just leave it another week, 2 , 3 or what do I do now?

Ok so as I’ve had this beer bottled for 2 weeks now I checked it over the weekend. I haven’t opened a bottle but just looking through them I can’t see any carbonation. Anyone have any ideas on why or what I can do? Or if this kind of beer should carbonate much. I don’t know if it’s supposed to...

Yeah. I remember my dad had one when I was younger and would watch him brew his own beer. I know what it is but not how to use it. I’m not really interested in the alcohol content of the beer so much as it tasting good right now. But that being said the very first brew I made came back at me...

Yeah it’s on the amazon shopping cart I just haven’t got around to getting it. I wouldn’t know what to do with it even if I did but I hear it used a lot on the boards so I figured it would be useful to have to record measurements for future reference. Sorry if my replies seem curt. I’m...

No gravity readings. No hydrometer. It has been fermenting for three weeks and has stopped producing bubbles in the airlock. Ran out of priming sugar because I’m adding 1/2 teaspoon to each bottle and this isn’t my first batch of beer. I’m still using a packet of priming sugar from a previous...

Also how long do I leave it in the bottles for now before drinking it?

I’m about half way through bottling now and can see I am short of sugar so will have to add table sugar so ty for letting me know how much

I hear it in a pan of water in its container. This makes it more runny and allows it to mix with the water a lot better rather than sink straight to the bottom of the pan.

Yes that is my malt extract. I was looking to add the flavor from the bottom pic to give the beer a Smokey chocolate aftertaste.

In that case I think I will wait and use this another time. Yes you are correct on both accounts. Today is bottling day and my section at work and I are excited to see how this turns out.
