Ok this is where I may have made my mistake. Let explain what I did with my two brews. Firstly the stout, which I bottled today. The instructions are as follows (the instructions that came in the munton can) 1. Dissolve contents of the can and other fermentable sugars with 2 litres of...

"Since that's the case, you used the right amount of LITERS of water for your recipe, you OG was actually what it is supposed to be for your extract batch NOT the reading you got." Curious, then why add sugar to wort? I just did another brew today... got a reading of 1.038 (that reading is...

So did i mess up the batch? again the store told me not add any sugar, till i bottle.

Oh sorry... I meant litres... One can of Muntons (goo), the total mixture... water and the goo was approx. 12 Litres. I wish I hadn't messed up on the first gravity reading :( not sure how I could have read it wrong. :(

I just got the hang of reading the gravity ready today sorry... lets estimate and say my gravity was 1.05... and my final ready is 1.20 (i'm confident that reading is right) What would my alcohol level be.

Can's of Muntons? 1 can -- it can make 21L, I basically cut it in half and made about 12 litres.... (sorry I mean litres no gallons) typo.

2.5 abv what does that mean? I'm new to all these abbreviations maybe 1.040 I read it wrong?

It's an Muntons irish stout.. I'm sure of the first reading... I had 13 galons of it, add not sugar to it at all (that's what my local store said to to do)... cut it from 21 galons to about 11-13 galons and add no sugar, except when ready to bottle...

Bottle my stout today... wow impressed dipped my finger in, tasted awesome! Anyway here are my hyrdo readings perhaps someone can help what they mean. Original gravity before adding yeast 1.040. Final gravity before bottling 1.020 Not a big difference hope it's okay? It was in primary for 2...

This is the malt extract I used: http://www.muntons.com/homebeer/countries/canada_usa/prem_canadian_ale.htm The only reason I used soap on my bottles (oxy clean) was to get rid of the mold... as people gave me bottles with mold on them. Would I see a soapy film in the beer? I live in...

As someone indicated to me in another thread... soap (that not rinsed well enough from the bottle) will cause the head to disapate. Tested it out today. A bottle of store bought Sol, and with my home brew. The head was much thicker with the Sol and lasted much longer. My home brew head is...

I don't have scale... how may cups is that defenstrate? 1/3? 1/4 -- i'll try to pick up a scale

I'm new and my advice may not be good. But I was told to make half of what the instructions said... my stout was to make 23L so I made about 11-12L... they said to do that to thicken it up.

I have 12-13L in my carboy that is ready to be bottle. I'm curious how much to sugar to add. My local brew store says 2/3 cups... but I think that is to much for a stout? Heck I made 48 bottles of regular beer and used 1 cup of sugar... Thanks

Thanks for all the valuable info. mr_clean... i'm pretty sure they're not gonna blow... they've been in the the bottle for a while, and when I crack one open, there isn't much pressure.

I was reading somewhere - can't remember where... but it suggested, when racking the beer to bottle, put about 1 tablespoon of sugar for carbonation (i know filling the bottles individually isn't the best way). I added about a cup of sugar to my beer before bottling (23L). Now looking at my...

Has any ever made Munton's "Canadian Ale" ? Curious how their batch tasted

Is it common not to like a batch and dump it out? It's been just over a month in the bottle, and the beer has a strong achohol after taste.

The head lasts, it's just small... any suggestions on pouring?
