  Break that sparge up into 2 sparges.1st one 2.25-2.5G 180-85 degree water. This will get you to
  170.2nd 2.25-2.5G 170 degree waterThe more you sparge the more sugar you will rinse out. If pot

  This has all been very helpful. Sounds like there are two pretty big changes here - the first
  being that I'm probably not running enough water through my grain (gonna need a bigger brew
  pot), so I'll ...

  Thanks for the feedback. Still a little confused. I ran off just about 5 gallons exactly -
  because my efficiency (at least appeared to me to be low) I added about 1.36 lbs of light malt

  Hi all,I know there are multiple posts about this, and I've browsed FlyGuys recent post about
  this as well, but I'm still apparently missing something. I routinely am missing OG by 10-16

  I'm relatively new at all-grain brewing - so if this is a dumb question, apologies in advance.I
  usually get my supplies from NorthernBrewer.com. I was about to order a recipe, but then
  started wonderi...

  This has been really interesting to read all of your responses.In regard to Schwind's comment
  about full boils- I've been doing full boils since the beginning, so no change there. Good
  points about ox...

  Thanks rocketman, that's good advice. I haven't been using campden, and I'm not up to date on
  what's in the water around here. That may well have something to do with it.

  I think it's more like how kids get all hopped up on sugar and have tons of energy quickly
  (when eating processed sugars) but then crash later. Where as if they have something like
  fruit, or something...

  Perhaps the sarcasm that is seeping from your response was unintentional, but it sort of makes
  you sound like a jackass. Just an FYI.There are many things I do not know about beer, which is
  why there ...

  It is true that my temps fluctuate depending on the season. It gets so warm here that in the
  summer the tap water can be in excess of 80 degrees (I use a wort chiller). I always try to
  pitch in the lo...
