unpopular question, about nutes

[teddyearp]

Glad you got a good batch. You and that pharmacist dude always go WAY over my head, but I sure would like to get to the level you're at and quit spending good money on so-so beer from the store because I'm right there with you.

FWIW, I'll add another vote for EC-1118. In fact I think I'm going back to my original recipe using WalMart Great Value (which costs about $1.74 per three qt bottle), about a cup of sugar and 1/2 packet of EC-1118. My very first batch finished in 2-3 days. I let it go another week to clear. Then it only took about another 2-4 days to bottle carb then cold crash to the fridge. Of course it got a bit better and better the longer it sat in fridge, but hey, pretty quick.

lol, thanks...but unless you're autistic, i'm not over your head!

Yeah, but I like the way you said it above, because it is almost how you two seem to approach it:

after my brief meth fiasco

LOL!

 

[bracconiere]

LOL!

if you think that's funny, i don't want to get into my stolen keg, and drug counselor recommended hook up with a heroin addicted prostitute! (needless to say i'm glad i remembered homebrew, and i'm not in prison)

Nutes make great pets. Mine loved eating small bugs and would sometimes try to escape.

Niacin I know is beneficial for reducing certain compounds like acetaldehyde. I'm not sure whether it affects speed.

Ugh. I meant thiamine, not niacin. Sorry for the mix-up.

Man have I gotten some similarly terrible relationship advice from counselors in the past.

[wasully]

Have to ask. Her cousin or your cousin?

damn man, i can brew a beer for 0.80c a gallon, but it takes me a week to malt the barley, a day to brew it, and 4 days after that to ferment.....

I'm no expert but adding bit of grated ginger and pineapple etc (mango, banana) to the must can help break complex sugars/starches and proteins faster. I do add these in little quantities in wort in high gravity beers. But these work better between 38c to 50c. After that the enzymes start getting denatured. I guess what I'm saying is if there is better "conversion", yeast can then handle stuff faster. Extra sugars from fruits will be a bonus.

I had a counselor tell me I should be a Male prostitute!

The OP uses glucoamylase.
