I could be wrong, but you could be looking at a longer ferment time and perhaps that is fine with you. I think the 113 is used for it's agressiveness

I still put the required amount of top-of-the-line honey in it; not the store-bought stuff. I made 4 Gals and it ought to be good for the Christmas Season!!! Oh, the Farmers Juice I was talking about, I didn't use it cause it didn't have Absorbic Acid in it, or Vitamin C

Hello, I made this before and it was awesome. What do you think about adding a little yeast nutrient and a little priming sugar at the beginning to boost it a little? I know what you are thinking, if it was good, why mess with it. I just wanted to try something different. Also, Welches came...

So glad I read this thread! I was in a bind and didn't know what to do until I learned it here. I made a batch the other day and a major cold front is coming and it was going to bring temps well below my fermentation temps. I can't bring it into the house from the garage cause the wife...

Monsteroid, STFU, I don't need your smart-azz remarks! The rest of you, thank you very much. As was said before monster replied, there are tutorials and such and I didn't know this. I will look for them when I get off. Also, thanks for the comments about the program auto-converting. I did a...

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I change the number in one recipe, and it will change the number in other, then the OG will change. I can't say which values changed, because they all change at one point or another. One thing I noticed, is says the OG should between this number and that...

I'm sure it's because I'm new to it and it's the first time I'm trying to use such a program, but, I think it sucks bigtime!!!! Everytime I enter one value for an ingredient, then go to another and put in a value for it, it will change the numbers on the first MoFo. I've been messing with it...

I read somewhere where the guy moved to Texas and used the Tap Water and said his beer was much better because the water was harder. I have Hard Water too so I was thinking of doing the same. Otherwise, I was going to buy some cheap bottled, spring water or RO water from the Store. Sometimes...

Thank you very much!

Good question and one would think so. I don't know anything about it, but, by my laymans' thinking, I would think there are different grades. The reason I think so, and could very well be wrong, is that you have 02 for Breathing, then, 02 for use with acetyline torches. Mine is maybe more...

Hello, let me push this a hair further. How about using the Oxygen Machine? just sanitizing a hose and putting that baby in the wort? Like the hospital comment, if it's good enough for Grandma, it should be good enough for the wort?

Sorry, I thought I had replied to this thread on my phone. With the signal being bad at work, I'm sure it didn't get sent out. I had commented on how great of an excuse you had, lol. I got all my stuff together and a day off, so I'm making mine tomorrow. After doing much reading while I was...

I don't have any tips, but I am looking forward to any responses, since I just bought it again. I actually very much enjoyed the Kit I got before. I have to admit I'm a newbie to the hobby. My question is, why would you buy it again if you weren't thoroughly satisfied before? Too save a...

Thanks for your reply and setting me on a path to take. You know how one can lose focus and start studying too much of the wrong thing sometimes.

Is there a good thread on this subject of alcohol content? Is there some rules of thumb to follow? I worry about the alcohol being too low because I saw a kit that had some that were 3.6 or something. I did not see any other ones posted as being higher. I understand about taking the SG and...
