Can you not add sugar/dme to your hop tea to the same ratio as your brew so your not diluting the abv etc.

Yeah Same hops. Added hop tea and dry hops on day 10, bottled on day 15.

I made the coopers Australian pale ale kit and used 50/50 Mix of cascade and citra for the last 5 days. 30g hop tea and 40g dry hop. Tastes amazing...similar ish to beavertown gamma ray.

Same way as you clean the rest of your fv while it is in service.

Would steeping hops and the chucking the lot in the fv. serve the purpose of hop tea and dry hop in one go, or are the hops pretty much spent after steeping?

Can you drop in some hop extract?

Dann, wouldn't pay that for the best of the craft beers beers, never mind a multi national company.

Thanks everyone. Will leave it a bit longer and check again. Will definitely give it a bit of a stir next time. If I do need to add more sugar, rather than putting sugar in a new bottle and pouring into that, would carbonation drops in the original bottles work, or would that foam up too?

I bottled an ipa im PET bottles a week ago and when I checked them last night, one or two have firmed up nicely, but most of them still feel as though they are flat. I racked it into a bottling bucket with sugar solution but because I had dry hopped I used one of the festival filters over the...

I have recently brewed a wilko wheat beer (new one can version) and it was lovely after 2 weeks in the bucket and only one week carbonation.

I was going to use 3 shots from the nespresso machine, and hoping that the vanilla would balance it out.

My next brew is going to be a coopers irish stout. I am going to pimp it up and was thinking of : 1 tin of coopers irish stout. 1.5kg dark spray malt. 100g cacao powder. 2 vanilla pods. 3 shots of expresso. Boil the cacao powder in some water with 1 of the vanilla pods and add to the...

Yes, tried 30ml concentrate in 250ml of beer. My wife likes it more cherry taste less beer taste.

Well I made the kit and split it tonight , racked 10ltr onto 1.2ltr of cherry active concentrate. Would have been far far cheaper to just buy a kit. Now for the next problem. The og of my wheat beer was 1.041. Tonight, after 12 days, it had dropped to 1.012. The half that I mixed with the...

Don't forget to visit Trembling Madness too.

I'm starting one of these kits this next week (the new single can ones). Brewing it with 1kg of wheat spray malt. Planning on splitting half of it off when the krausen starts dying down and adoing cherry to it. Will I be ok just using the supplied wit yeast (6g) or would I be better adding...

I've got a 237ml bottle of cherry active, 100% cherry concentrate from Holland and barrett. Should I use all of that in 10ltr ish of beer?

How strong is the raspberry flavour? She'd want it to taste more fruity than beery.

My wife wants me to make her a cherry beer with a similar kind of flavour intensity to timmermans. I was thinking of using a wheat beer kit, splitting half off and adding cherry concentrate to the secondary. Any idea how much concentrate to add?

Or maybe 'Mouthbreather'
