Hey Gang, a week or so ago i posted about malto dextrin and whether that was to blame for a high FG - 1.022. I had taken 3 readings to ensure that was the case- it seemed to be, but since then the airlock started bubbling and my new reading has it down to 1.020 ish. When i look inside the...

thanks beer people ya.. just happen to read that i did use a very small, perhaps inconsequential, amount - contrary to what a local brewer told me. the LME and steeping grains were also almost a year old, but i figure its better to brew than to chuck it. thanks.

Hey gang I brewed a partial extract kit Belgium pale ale. Original Gravity was supposed to be 1.050 and I ended with 1.051. In an effort (misguided?) to increase body/mouth feel I added 1.5 tsp of maltodextrin at the beginning of the boil. After two weeks in the secondary I have a FG of...

I made an all grain Belgium dubbel... and didn't put nearly enough priming sugar in and so it totally failed to carb up. my local beer store guy suggested the following: mix 1/4 cup luke warm water with 1 pack of coopers yeast (just their generic yeast it looks like), and 1 TBSP of sugar...

I see a theme here... relax and drink. i love this group!

Hey Gang, Newbie here... I have three beers (one in primary - plastic bucket, two in secondary - plastic carboys) in a closet in the bedroom 70F. The closet door was left open and the day light (not direct sunlight, and an overcast day) lit up the bedroom and so my beer across the room was...
