and one thing i've not seen anyone mention is make sure that you get a stainless steel brewpot - NOT and aluminum one - i'd hate for the views to start going blind

Hi again. Do you use kits only (like me) and if so are you liberal with the amount of fermentables you use resulting in the higher OG of your beers? Because of the higher gravity of my current brew would it be better to wait and see if if it drops more before bottling?Thanks.

Whats the big secret? Don't be shy. We can all learn from your questions..Thanks.

Hey Craig i got some questions about the malt extract and hydrometers do you think you could email me so i can ask you some questions in a more secure environment thank you tube comment boxes.

Beer flavoured wine? My homebrew's OG occasionally gets that high or higher, and there are plenty of microbrews at that level. As long as the beer is balanced with bitterness and a slightly higher FG, it should be good albeit strong. If its a bit harsh, let it age for about 4-6 months.

Hi craig ive took your advice and sanitized everything well and i've done my brew,its fermenting well so looking forward to bottling and then trying it. many thanks

Its not my intention to make really strong beer,just good beer. I've been brewing since Dec.and just like to experiment a bit. Though I think I may have pushed the gauntlet a little far this time!! eh,he. With all the extra malt extract it should be as full bodied a beer as I've experienced. I'll let you know how it tastes. Ah yes the shandy Im very familiar with it and it is tasty alright.

Don't worry. It's really not that sensitive. Add stuff while the water heats up, or wait until it's boiled, turn it off, and then add everything. Another way is to pour the boiling water into your bucket and add everything to that. As long as it all gets mixed together, it doesn't matter hot you do it. You won't screw it up. Sanitize your bucket and spoon, or anything that touches your beer.
