To All, we have been all grain brewing successfully for some time but I admit I am weak on some of the nomenclature and math. We have a great recipe given to us but we have no idea what some of the numbers and abbreviations are in it. Nor do we know how to scale it back to 5 gallons. Can...

My son and I have been brewing (kits) very successfully for some time now but we just tried our first home recipe and I have a huge issue that will likely render all our work and ingredients useless. Long story short we altered a Belgium Triple and ended up with such a high OG that it was...
