I don’t know what the f*ck I’m doing...
Hi all. This is my first time brewing (and posting)!
I used a Morgan’s Australian Bitter Wort extract/yeast pack and added 1kg enhancer to the mix, as per the instructions.
I’ve left it for 2 weeks, which is much longer than the 5 days recommended on the can so I could get to a stable final gravity. Fermentation has now finished and tastes fine but the mouthfeel is very thin - almost like water!
I’ll condition in the bottle using carbonation drops, which I guess will change the texture profile, but is there anything else I can do before bottling to improve my chances of getting a beer with good mouthfeel?
E.g. would racking help at all? Can I add a thickener, such as maltodextein? Or even just leave it alone in the fermenting vessel a little longer?!
Thanks all! Dan
