comment Why an all grain stops at 1.030 when there are an abundance of champagne yeast
Looked up the Beano deal and tried it. Happily, the grav is down to 1.010 and lowering after 3 days. Another tool in the kit. Thanks, mdma.

I wanted a very dry, almost rye whiskey taste, without distilling (illegal for me here in the US). I'll try the Beano. This is turning into a biochemistry experiment (not that I mind as a chemist :-)) Thanks mdma, you are contributing to my education on all-grain brewing.

Starting gravity was 1.030 before I raised the SG to 1.070 before pitching. I used champagne yeast because of the high sugar content and high desired ending abv. Thanks to all that comment as I am learning this process.

Thanks for the link. I'm just learning this whole-grain brewing thing. It is a lot different than the ciders and wines that I am used to doing. Thanks again.

It tastes ok right now as a beer, just a little sweet (not certain what to call it). May just borrow the bottling gun and force carbonate it to bottle instead of priming it further (don't think that would work anyway because it sounds like the yeast are done already). Thanks.

comment All-grain Rye beer clarifying suggestions needed
Hey Denny, just found a reference to your sparging page at dennybrew. Didn't realize I had been communicating with a brewmeister :-) all this time.
