orogger Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have a question, what if I use 15 liters of water in a 23 liters refill, which would be the expected result according to your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Stronger, more bitter, darker colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What Ben said.. the degree of increase of all those things is predictable with some calculations based on kit information and the 15 litre volume. Which kit were you planning to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orogger Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Coopers Beer Australian Pale Ale Another question, how to increase more alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Reducing the volume while still using the kit and whichever additions you make will increase the alcohol content (what Ben meant by stronger). The other option is to brew it to 23 litres and increase the amount of malt/sugar additions, but if doing this the yeast will need to be increased as well.

orogger Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Thinking to use 16 liters of water and increase the sugar to have a beer stronger and with more alcohol. You would do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 What kind of beer are you aiming for? I'd go an IPA kit with more fermentables myself. Something tastier that can go with the extra alcohol content. I like a strong beer myself but like them to be bitter for balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orogger Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I regularly drink beers over 7% alcohol, we recommend a kit that can carry out this minimum please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walid Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Can we use the same quantity of water (23 L ) an double yeast and 2 Kg of sugar for exemple ? we will have something like 10 per cent alcool and a good taste as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If you use 2kg of sugar you won't get a good tasting beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If you want a 10% ABV that still tastes nice then you will need to spend more time on the recipe formulation. Work out what style of beer is most suited, the ingredients used to get the right OG and FG and select the correct yeast. As Kelsey said, just whacking an extra 2kg of sugar into a standard batch won't taste good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
