I'm fairly new to brewing. I've made four batches of beer over the past few years, and working on the fifth now. The first beer I brewed was from a beer kit my brother gave me . It turned out " just O.k." The second, I bought a Carboy and the ingredients to make an Octoberfest . It couldn't have turned better. The third batch was brewed from Premium Malt extract that I bought at the grocery store. I eventually poured it out. The forth batch was supposed to be the equivalent of Michelob, I lagered it for nine months before it was drinkable. Now I'm brewing an Australian Light lager, at the time I put in secondary I boiled honey with 1/2 gallon of water and added it to the beer (Just experimenting ) . Now it has ( what looks like) cottage cheese just beneath the krausen. Have I ruined it? And is beer brewed with more LME better/easer to brew than beer that has DME ?
