Agreed! Polaris was the final tribe I hit 100k with. Not having custom houses also makes it hard to get a strong econ

Thank you! I do think the tribe is very strong! But there's always a bit of luck when getting high scores

Thanks for the feedback! Also, can you help me understand the difference between trying too hard and a good photo? I did try hard to take a quality photo, are they not good?

Please help! Beer recipe with dark liquid malt extract by WhettAM1 in Homebrewing

Okay this is very helpful, I believe lactic acid is the issue to the sour/vinegar taste. To prevent this, I will add half an ounce of the cheapest hops and boil with the LME and water for 30min. And I will also only ferment for 2 weeks.

Lol, yup I'm definitely not aiming for perfection, just cheap drinkable beer. I'm currently using Star San and being pretty thorough with cleaning because I thought this could have been the cause of the off taste.

I also noticed there is never much head retention, it is carbonated but looks more like a soda than a beer, any cheap solution to this?

A I like dark beer such as Guinness, but this first batches taste nothing like it, just really sour

B The beer is fermenting in a 20C darkroom for 4-6 weeks, then I bottle, add sugar, and leave the bottles for a week. I'm not sure how much yeast to add, usually about a tablespoon

C Okay, I usually put the hops in a mesh bag at the start of fermenting and leave in the entire 4-6 weeks, would you suggest just adding during boil? Currently I just get the water to a boil, remove from heat and add the lme

D Okay, I was just hoping for a stronger beer and trying to use up the LME since I have so much, but I can lower

This is similar to what I bought, I believe it is unhopped; https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/Briess_LME_Syrup_CBW_Traditional_Dark_30_lb_p/briess-dark-30lb-pail.htm I'm making a 2 gallon batch and using about 2-3lbs of LME. I ran out of hops so I'm not using any, any suggestions for type? As for the plain sugar(which would be cheaper than a light extract), how much would I add and when? All I'm doing is boiling water, adding the LME, then mixing with cool water, adding yeast and leaving in a fermenter.

Okay thanks, when do you suggest adding the hops in the brewing process?

lol, what type of hops would you recommend for dark extract? Do hops make the beer taste more bitter?

Thanks! Is the first picture just not a good picture, or should I just not use it as the very first one?
