Thanks in advance Hi Andrew, No experience with the other juices, sorry can't help there. Each BrewArt pack of either an E or X adds approximately 1% ABV. So if you want increase the ABV just add an extra X5 as you said (which is Dextrose). The BrewArt ingredients page say "X5 helps your brew ferment thoroughly and gives a clean finish. Increases alcohol content without imparting additional colour or flavour. Suitable for all beer styles." Caution, adding too much will be at the detriment of the beer's "mouth feel". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltham Brauhaus Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I will be starting my Pineapple Crush IPA next using preservative free H2 juice but I am unsure when I should be adding the juice. Can someone advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beginning, “Brew Notes: To create this tropical delight, you will need to fill your BeerDroid with water to the 9L mark and then add 1L of good quality, preservative free, pineapple juice (to make 10L) before following regular brewing procedure. Beware when brewing this bold beer, due to it’s vigorous fermentation it may overflow from the vent port for the first 48 hours.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
