Sorry for bringing back an old thread but I was looking for more info on where to get my supplies. I usually buy them from that same web site. They do ship with canadapost. You can go on canada post website to check the prices of shipping by the pound. Not very expensive (less then other sites...

I really like this beer since it is my favourite commercial one. I guess I should try making a clone myself and not buying a kit online then! I'll get pretty close with bitter orange and coriander. Maybe adding citra/cascade or even centennial.

Not worth the storage! Put it all in. An extra pound in that case will not make a huge difference. You can also think of addind slightly more of everything to keep a good ratio and do a stronger beer.

Keep us updated how it turns out in a couple weeks. Might go on my list :)

Planning on making this one. Good to know

Oh yeah looks nice! I though you were addind less hops

The rickards white or blue moon is 5.1% and getting 1.050 ish brings it up to more than that. Is the taste affected? Can you feel the difference? OG should be around 1.048.

I never heard about it but it seems really, really nice! I just wonder if the beer will be very acidic with this kind of peel added. Could you add the recipe in here? My first 2 brews were kits, then switched to mini-mash for the 3 after then went to all grain! Much more fun. You have to try it...

34 points is very low for any kind of beer. Especially for an extract where the FG will probably be higher than an all grain batch. It will give you a beer with less than 4% ABV. Maybe you took a bad reading, did not add enough LME or DME or put in too much water! There is a lot of recipe here...

I use a bench bottle capper and never had any kind of trouble with it. I believe it is about 35-45$. If your capper is still close to new, return it and buy this one :rockin:

Same thing here. Every time I bottle I take the lid off, put the siphon inside and the lid stays off for the entire time. Chances your beer gets an infection are pretty tiny if you don't go all out Charlie Chaplin style

I guess he meant priming like getting the ABV up

You could always bring the 5.5lbs of brewers malt to 9lbs. I think it would do the job. If the OG is still not high enough ---> any kind of sugar before pitching the yeast

What I can think of here is that maybe your bottling technique is lacking precision. How did you add the priming sugar? Did you boil the sugar? Did you mix the sugar gently into the beer before bottling? Did you filter you beer? Did you cold crash, if so when and for how long? What was the...

Adding corn sugar or DME would do the job. You have to understand that raising the ABV that much will affect the taste and body and none can predict the effects on the beer. You will have to try it. The 2 cheapest ways would be to add corn sugar or get those 6lbs more. It would be better to use...

Using different types of sugar may change the taste in the end. I would not recommend using brown sugar in a light lager for example.

You can use the ratio you want! Usually, most people use a ratio of 1L-2L per pound of grain to mash. You don't have to do a full boil, meaning to add the whole batch size in the boil. You can add a ratio of 2L per pound of grain to mash and do the boil afterward. Don't forget to sparge if you...

In order to sanitize with vanilla extract, it will need to be pure. But what is the point really? Vodka is way cheaper!

You could top up with a bit of water. Not a gallon though

I did a couple brews without boiling the priming sugar. If you can keep the humidity out of the bag you will be fine
