Hi – out of curiosity/experimentation I’ve bought a pouch of Mangrove Jack’s Cider Enhancer, but I notice that the instructions say it can be used as a replacement for the dextrose in cider kit. However, what would happen if I used it IN ADDITION to the dextrose already in a Festival Oaked Apple cider kit at the start of the fermentation process? Will it create a fermentation bomb? Has anybody tried this and what was the finished result? Edit: formatting. submitted by /u/naxoscyclades [link] [comments]

So I have some bourbon backset that uhh… appeared out of nowhere… I am aware that this is hypothetically used to add flavour and acidity to subsequent whiskey mashes, but I am wondering if anyone has any experience with using it for beer mashes? I have had a quick Google of this, and the discussion is fairly minimal and inconclusive. I am prepared to do the science if to comes to it. Cheers! submitted by /u/Centi9000 [link] [comments]

Hey all – I followed this recipe pretty much to the letter ( https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/elderflower-champagne ) and it seems to be turning out great. But can’t seem to find any info if it will be alcoholic or not? If so does anyone have any guesses around how strong it might be? Also when bottling with two of them I popped a little extra sugar at the for some more zip! Will that make a difference? submitted by /u/samsamsamharlow [link] [comments]

Welcome to the Daily Q&A! Are you a new Brewer? Please check out one of the following articles before posting your question: How do I check my gravity? I don’t see any bubbles in the airlock OR the bubbling in the airlock has slowed. What does that mean? Does this look normal / is my batch infected? Or if any of those answers don’t help you please consider visiting the /r/Homebrewing Wiki for answers to a lot of your questions! Another option is searching the subreddit, someone may have asked the same question before! However no question is too “noob” for this thread. No picture is too tomato to be evaluated for infection! Even though the Wiki exists, you can still post any question you want an answer to. Also, be sure to vote on answers in this thread. Upvote a reply that you know works from experience and don’t feel the need to throw out “thanks for answering!” upvotes. That will help distinguish community trusted advice from hearsay… at least somewhat! submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]
