I realize this thread is old but could someone please elaborate on this:

"The only proviso is that you should not let the runnings drop below 1010 so you don't risk extracting astringent tannins"

What does dropping below 1010 mean?

PS: Pardon my ignorance and thanks in advance!

It is very common in the brewing vernacular to omit the period when speaking and sometimes in casual writing. Think of it like slang.

Instead of saying "One point zero one zero" you can say "ten ten".
