Hello all.
I'm new to this game and today have bottled my first brew, just doing the extract shuffle for now which I know is cheating a bit, I have been looking into using grain & hops but as I say, just a pup when it comes to this.
Now just a thought. :hmm:
If I wanted to make the next batch of extract stronger the key ingredient would obviously be more sugar, but this would probably alter the taste of the beer for the worst or the yeast that comes with the can of extract might not fully ferment with the extra sugar.. Am I right?
With this in mind would a wine or even a champagne yeast be the way forward to meet the demands of the extra sugar content?
Should I just forget the idea for danger of either pouring a ruined batch away or worst blowing myself up?
I'm quite keen to start messing around now & I think some proper loud mouth soup would go down quite well for Christmas, but it also needs to taste nice. :drink::drink:
What do you think?
