I have some which I bought for a recipe from HBT but Ive nver gotten around to using it

What was it? I have read the instructions again and it makes a bit more sense. Normally added to the kettle but you can add it to the keg. I was thinking off adding it to raw beer and lager. The brut IPA takes too long and i doubt i want it that dry. Very interesting idea though.
 
Thats a really good read. The question is if i add amalayse will it ferment down to 1000 and if so what will the beer taste like? If i start at 1030 that would give me 4%. I guess the only way i will find out is to try it.

You read all of it? I wondered where you've been :laugh8:

Tbh, Ive read most of it. Yes it should ferment down to 1.000 or about 1.0002 at most. Iirc, from what it says, initially the beer tastes like sucking on a pharoah's sock and super dry but after condition (maybe 3-4 weeks iirc) it rounds out and tastes really nice

After doing 3 batches I can confirm your Co**comparison is incorrect. The beer is not sweet but it is not puckering like a wine or cider. Drinking it a day after kegging. The effect of dry hopping seems more pronounced. Works better for me on a lower ABV wortj
