  Converting base malt into DME of LME is straight forward. Multiply the base malt weight by 0.73

  Alright, certainly no expert, but here is my take. There is no set Original Gravity or Final

  you're brewin...

  As far as online companies go that are reliable names for ingredients kits as well as equipment

  As far as the question about whether or not it was stirred all of the way, I added about 2 1/2

  siphoning...

  settle more.
