JohnR13 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 G'day all, Just wondering if there is anything to be mindful of when brewing with two cans and no fermentables. I love my ESVA but would like to try one without the dextrose so I don't fall asleep in the last qtr of the footy! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The dex is probably mainly there to boost the ABV. There are still fermentables in the kits - they are malt extract after all. I've never brewed the ESVA recipe and I never really used dextrose in my brews either, but I reckon it'd still turn out a nice brew without the dex, just a little less ABV which it sounds like you're after.[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangBaa Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hi John, Mate thats all i did with a few brews and you get a good drop on average 4.3% i'm guessing. I started to put about 300gms of Dex now to get me just over the 5% and i am still awake at full time..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
