GregE1 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi from Chicago. This likely is a rehash, but couldn't find it anywhere. so ... The pilsener kit includes a kilo of dextrose, while the can's "brewing tips" section recommends 300 grams. Clearly, there's a disconnect. Am I to assume that I'm the proud owner of an extra 700 grams of dextrose? Possibly-related question: I'm falling short of my ideal head-retention standard. Any recommends? As per usual, thanks in advance for any guidance and counsel; everyone has been both terribly kind and helpful in assisting us rookie brewers.

PB2 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Guessing you had this delivered as a recipe pack?? 1.7kg Pilsener beer Kit 500g Light Dry Malt 1kg Dextrose (this is the smallest pack we supply). So yes, you can use 300g of dextrose for primary fermentation and keep the rest aside for other brews. [biggrin] Check out the Brewing FAQs for info about head retention and other stuff.

StuartW2 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I recently brewed a Coopers Pilsner using 1.5 Kg of Enhancer No. 2, great beer. Only draw back was during the first week of fermenting when a real pungent eggy smell drifted through the house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
