Oh very interesting study! Who knows, maybe this beer turns out super special and tasty ;-)

Cool, will do! I'll clear out a shelf, luckily it's only 5 liters :-)

ok that's a bit too much for me. I'm a humble beginner. Thanks for the recommendations though! I will wait till fermentation is done and see how bad it is.

Thanks for the responses! I don't mind extra bitter beer... But I'm also down to experiment. how does aging on Brett work @Erik the Anglophile ?

Sooo, I brewed my first BIAB all grain beer today. ingredients: - 900 gram Pale Ale - 150 gram Munich Dark - 50 gram Biscuit - cascade hops - columbus hops - yeast safaleS-04 Prepared everything, made the recipe with brewersfriend.com. All went well. exept for my hops... I misread the...

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. All is well here. I am tasting every couple of weeks and the flavour is shifting quite dramatically. At first it was sour (duh), harsh and dry, almost unpleasant, but the harshness is melting away and making space for a more round, deeper, almost buttery flavour. I...

Oh crap, no, 69 grams in total comes down to 4 grams per liter, which is (according to conversions) roughly a teaspoon per liter. So, a third of what you would suggest. But I'm thinking I might have messed up conversion to metric. I'll have a very slight bubble then, haha! I degassed because I...

Hi all! Today I bottled my first batch of hard Cider. So satisfying to make this and bottle it! Now that I'm done, I'm going over my process and I'm a bit nervous about it, especially about the priming sugar and for bottle carbonation. my process was as follows: 25-3 Start! 17,5 liters (3,7...

Yeah I was thinking (and hoping haha) that. I decided to reopen a bottle and the ABV is 1.024. So there's still plenty sugar in there. Bottling was a bad idea, assuming fermentation will continue in the bottle... Now what? edit: so according to this calculator my brix (percentage of dissolved...

No I didn't add anything else. Just ginger (organic), sugar and water.

Soooo, I threw some stuff in a jar and it fermented. But I do not really know what I made, more specifically: does the following recipe produce alcohol? On 11-4 I threw roughly 500 grams of ginger in a pot with 350 grams of sugar, filled up the jar to almost the brim, screwed the lid on, gave...

Thanks for the input! I'm also still a bit confused about the whole pasteurisation thing. Did I understand correctly that you don't have to pasteurise dry ciders?

Hi everyone! As we speak, my apple cider is fermenting away. Nice bubble activity. I used Roeselare ale blend because I like it sour. I' aiming for completely dry, bottle carbonated (I want to use Belgian Candy sugar because I think it matches the yeast). I bought two 30 liter (6,6 gallon)...
