Are non fermentable sugars the ones that make us fat and or raise blood sugar levels?

Easy one. Is my brew still conditioning after cold crash, gelatin clearing and sitting in a keg at 34 deg. 30 days total so far.

Any suggestions for best yeast for malt flavor

If I cold crash in the fridge should I do it before carbing or together?

My brew calculation said I should get a 33 Ibu. 4 wks in fermenter haven't chilled or carbed yet. Nicely cleared. .63 oz of magnum whole leaf per 5 gals. 13.3 AA I shouldn't get a really dry taste at this rate should I? Extract and crystal 80 Smells great tastes bad. I checked for off...

Does the A419 control both cool and heat at once or one at a time?

I insulated my brew pot to use as a mash tun Worked Great. 30.3 eff. Washed it out and used as boil pot without screen and false bottom. 1st question - How do you keep scorching at a minimum if you used the false bottom for boiling? 2nd Question - Fruit flies - never knew anything about them...

If you start with .072 and end with .018 besides a good buzz does that mean you have more sugar left? More calories? Bad for diabetics?

Took 45 minuites to chill to 70 deg., too slow? Cause I got the chill. Haze that is.

A few pounds of my malt dried out and hardened. Any ideas on how to make it useable.

#1 If I can safely boil 6 or 7 gals. wort how much can I dilute it? Cant afford a large boil pot. Have a 10 gal. #2 Can I do two back to back boils and put them in the same 30 gal fermenter?

I did my first high gravity batch just to see if I could. Put it in a fancy bottle and pretend it was worth $10 like some micro's. .078 - .020 Its good but after 1 to 3 bottles and about an hour I black out for 15 to 20 minutes. Fusels? Or something else? Micro's HG no problem. Perplexed

Did a double batch of Muntons Cerv. 2 cans LME & 8 lbs. dme some hops. Boiled 6 gals. Put 3 gals each tap water in sanitized ferm buckets over nite to bring it to about 70 deg. Cooled wort to below 80 deg. Let drop 3ft. to ferm bucket and stirred to help aerate, (maybe not enough). Hydrated 2...

Any one know why I would have water vapor condensing on the inside of my conditioning beer bottles?

With proper conditioning does the acetic acid go away or just become muted. I ask because my big gut doesn't tolerate it. Be a bummer to wait 6 or 8 weeks and not be able to drink 6 gals. of good beer!

I didn't realize Coopers(Mexican Cerveza) was a no boil' but just as well for my first. After 3 wks. fermenting, 11 days bottled I had to try one. Wow! Very clear and already carbed. First one tastes great. Slightly cidery that will diminish from what I've read. I'll wait a couple more weeks...

I'm guessing you must sanitize the day of bottling and not a few days before?
