Does 1.020 taste watery ?!

[hector]

My bad, sorry for trying to help. I guess you are set on the fact you somehow defy all laws of physics with a 1.020 "watery" beer. Good luck!

Dear Germelli1 ,

What's wrong with you ?!

I always appreciate help from you and others here .

It was so easy :

I dissolved 0.21 Oz. of Dextrose in 250 ml of water , but did not add this solution to the bottling bucket !

I boiled it first for 15 minutes , then I let it cool to room temperature and then added it ( which was 50-60 ml at this time ) to the bottling bucket .

There is still 0.21 Oz. of Dextrose in this solution , but it's more concentrated than the first one .

So , I added a 50-60 ml solution of Dextrose to my batch of Beer ( Not a 250 ml solution ) .

50/1000 = 0.05

60/1000 = 0.06

So easy !

What have I done to laws of Physics , now ?!

Hector, people are trying to help, sometimes it is hard to keep all the information straight when it appears across several pages of a thread. This is just the nature of these things. Your responses sometimes come across as, "Hey stupid, I already told you that!" I suspect that this was not your intent.

I suspect that this was not your intent.

Thanks !

Of course it was not my intent .

I've had similar cases before with few members here .

The problem is that they don't read my explanation completely .

I , on the contrary , always read others' replies word by word , sometimes even 2-3 times !

Not a problem, but just remember people are trying to help. I wish I had something more to add regarding the issue you are having.

 

[Germelli1]

My apologies Hector. I forgot how easy it is to misinterpret motives over anonymous internet postings. All is good and I am sorry I came off brash!

Although a word of advice...even this post sounds confrontational. I was trying to help you figure out your problem and got one detail wrong. Sorry about that!

I almost spit out my beer laughing at that.

Why not ask some of your experienced friends (advice that was posted earlier)?

Or have you pissed them off by the way you talk to them?

What do you mean by that ?!

Please don't misunderstand me .

What I'm doing here in this thread is giving details about my previous Beer .

I also asked for details in some posts of this thread , but they never came back to answer .

You can take a look at my replies here in previous pages .

You will certainly see that I did not talk to any one the way you think !

Sorry. I stand corrected!

I do believe the problem has about got to be the Distilled water or your personal taste buds. I have made many beers that finished at 1.020(they are always called "chewy" by my friends) and i would not call any of them "watery" 25 ibu is actually fairly low, so you should still get some distinct sweetness finishing at 020. If the beer taste watery to you, have some friends try it and see if they agree that it is watery. Their answers may surprise you.

That being said, i would try this, Do a brew from this recipe that you said taste watery, but instead do 50/50 distilled water and spring water. If it still tastes watery to you then try adding Lactose or Maltodextrine or both to up the mouth feel and body.

Personally, i think this is a "personal taste" issue and not so much a brewing issue, I have had beers that finished at 1.005 that were very dry, but in no way "watery", but my best friend asked me if i watered it down, two different sets of taste buds, two different perceptions of the same beer.
