So you either raise your OG, and lower your Final Gravity (FG). The ABV comes directly from how many points the yeast eats. So, 12lbs of LME brings your OG upto 1.080 or so, then when the yeast is done, it will finish around 1.020. This yeast will eat about 76% of that sugar. 12lbs of LME and you would right in range.Īs you add more fermentable sugar (LME, DME, honey, sugar, etc.), the original gravity (OG) goes higher. Yeast eat sugar to make alcohol, so you just needed to double your LME to get your ABV up to the 8% range. The only fermentable sugar in this recipe is the Liquid Malt Extract (LME). Your recipe is not technically flawed at all. Have a homebrew! You made beer!!!Įnjoy your sessionable IPA in between a Knuckle Sandwich, Narwhal, or maybe Stone's new Green Tea IPA!

When answering my ease pretend you are talking to a complete noob. I do remember that the first two days of the fermentation process, the process was not as hectic as other times. I talked to a few experienced brewers and the consensus is that my yeast did not activate properly. I don't know what I'm doing, this was my first time trying my "own" recipe. I would like to know why my alcohol content was so low? Truth be told.I was hoping for at least 8% alcohol. But in order to get a decent buzz.I need to drink 3 gallons of my beer. The alcohol content was at best.3.8 % The aroma was right on the mark, so was the color. After much anticipation.my IPA clone was almost a complete let down. Bottled my " Knuckle Sanwich clone " last weekend. Hello gang, been busy whipping away tears all this week.
