I came across this today while bottling my beer. As a little background, this is a pale ale clocking in about 4.5% ABV. I let it ferment for 2 weeks and then dry hopped in the primary with hop pellets in a hop bag for an additional week. I soaked the hop bag in 2-week old Star San as I've...

Hey guys, i've been brewing all grain for a while now but I have this delicious pumpkin ale that I made back when I was doing extract plus steeping grains and I'm afraid to screw it up when converting to AG! The grain bill is 6lbs DME, 0.5 lbs C40, and 0.5 lbs Carapils. If I just convert the...
