Anyone Try The 1% Alcohol Boost @ Austins?

Curious on this.....:rockin:

its just enough corn sugar to increate the ABV. You can calculate this yourself and add the right amount of corn sugar. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

It's just corn sugar.

I did it on a brown ale back in december 2009.
It is still fermenting heavily today.

Also did it on an Asahi style for my GF. It didn't change the taste at all, and it gave the beer a much better kick. Upped it by about 1.5%

I was wondering about that myself. Maybe he's joking?

As in there is still a heavy layer of foamy "krauesen" on top of the beer or, your airlock is still bubbling?

 

[JayInJersey]

Maybe he lagered it?

I use it a lot. I find that I don't have to pee as much to get a buzz.

Is this just a way to sell corn sugar for more money?

Lambics do but either way, something is wrong if you have a sacchromyces only fermentation going that long.

Airlock is still bubbling, it has slowed down to a crawl in the last few days, but it has been in there for almost 6 weeks.
I was gonna start a thread asking about it, but it didn't seem too out of the ordinary.
Leaving beer in for a month or two seems to make it smoother anyway

Ale or Lager?

Did temps get really low during the fermentation and then warm back up? Yeast could have gone dormant in cold temps and woke up when warmed.

So when can I add this booster. How much corn sugar for 5 gallon batch?

Brown Ale

It got down to about 50 deg for a couple days

You add it during the boil.
IIRC the packet it about 8 ounces
