Lmao why Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

For this Christmas I want to brew a hot chocolate stout. So when I think of a hot chocolate I think of chocolate, peppermint, and milky flavors. I am going to base it off of a milk stout and add some additional chocolate malts. My question is does any one have any experience adding a...

Good luck offsetting the hundreds of millions of dollars just by raising the liquor tax. That would not even work. Optimistic but not logical. Not to mention the majority of tax paying citizens would not support paying more just so kids 18-20 can drink.... don't to argue or debate though... its...

Lollll that's a great call! Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

The federal government has a legal drinking age old 18 years old but specifies the state government has the right to levy a different drinking restriction. They enforce this law by restricting transportation fundingcan to the states if the drinking age is below 21. Do a little more research when...

So I bottled it today didn't see any decrease in gravity. So my FG = 1.024. Which gives me an ABV of 6.41%. In thinking about doing this for next time... more hops and figure out what I can do to make this a "bigger" beer. I attached two pictures. I think it will clear up some... we will see...

Well that could be because you didn't have enough hops. But 1.012 is a good FG. See im stuck at 1.024 Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

I have the same issue. I had a gingerbread ale that I did. It was a nutbrown base. I added 2lbs of malt extra which brought me to an OG of 1.072. My FG is 1.024. I had even repitched to get it going again and nothing worked. Some guys suggested that I should have added more nutrients before...

Okay, I was thinking like I was missing something because I wasn't getting the attenuation that I was expecting. Looks like I'll be bottling this weekend! Thanks for the help! Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

No I didn't rehydrate. Didn't realize I should have and I started with safale-04 and repitched with safale-05 Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

And I used dry yeast packs. Trying to remember the name but can't. the first was an english ale and the second was an american ale (which I was expecting to be a little more aggressive) Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

I started with an extract. I also used crystal and chocolate malt/grain mix. I am just disappointed and was thinking my FG was going to be lower and my abv higher considering I added that extra 2lbs. Sent from my DROIDX using Home Brew Talk

So about 4 or 5 weeks ago I brewed a gingerbread ale. It was based off of a nut brown ale. I added some spices and 2lbs of additional malt. The nut brown ale with out the additional malt should yield an ABV of about 6.0-6.5% so adding the additional malt should have brought me up to around 8%...

+1 if it counts even though it wasn't mine... My old man pulled out his brewing stuff to find a bag of DME got wet. So I thought id help him. Need less to say, when trying to work everything that was in a box with the DME out of that caramel goodness, boom cracked the stem of the hydrometer...
