I use cold water and baking soda

a joint will not help since it makes me unable to participate lol..

I can't just not put anything in it i am a horrible liar so i would rather be able to say hey they say this make you all Whooohooo and it is in this beer drink it up.

I appreciate the responses but they do not help me in my quest for the holy grail.... of beer. it is like the black knight will not let me pass.... unless i chop off his arms and legs........

yeah hard to find someone local that can answer my questions. (or i have not looked hard enough) i can do trial and error but i would hope someone could give me a starting point. Dosage is gonna be hard considering almost everything i read has different suggested dosages for pill form ie...

1057.5 + 5G hefe. = 1062.5

Kind of an odd request ( please do take me seriously) .. i will try not to go into to much details other then my wife after having 2 amazing children has asked me to find her something to help her increase her desire to get in the mood.... she asked if there was a herbal tea she could drink...

honestly i though i was gonna toss this batch... tasted like sour sulfur farts even when i bottled it... nothing like the first batch i did.. had no hint of even being a beer. but i popped one open after about a week and man it is better then my first batch. no sulfur and the banana is coming...

ok i am trying it with the Champagne yeast. decided to go with my original plan and upped the sugar content. should be some apple hooch . 20Liters Apple juice 6 cans concentrate 2.2lbs (1 KG) brown sugar 1 pound regular sugar. OG.1.082 she is bubbling away right now. should be interesting...

can i use a Champagne yeast with this or would it have a negative effect on the flavor. if i use a champagne yeast would i need a started for a higher OG like 1.08 just asking because i have some on hand.

I know its a no no but i use MGD clear bottles just keep them in a dark closet ... Basically i just stock piled them when i first started doing Brew in a box home brew. me and my roommates drank that stuff like water so i had a few hundred bottles. slowly i will replace them with better bottles...

i did this one it has been in the primary for 16 days the first few days i had crazy sulfur smell my temps were a little low 60-63 so i bumped them up and the smell went away after about a day.. took a reading after 10 days and a sample and yuck... smelled and tasted like sour sulfur farts...

great i think i will try the original recipe first then kick it up on the next one...

would something like Nottingham yeast work well with this?

what would be the best way to up the OG to 1.08 to get around a 10% ABV. would doubling the brown sugar be enough. what is the most ABV this yeast can handle?
