I brewed a Amarillo SMaSH a few months back and was extremely happy with the results.... I wanna build off the SMaSh recipe and try to get a little more body/mouth feel. Here’s the original recipe, 10 lbs 2 row .5 oz of Amarillo @ 60, 20, 5 and flame out What can I add to give it a...

Okay... I think I am just being paranoid but I brewed a SMaSH using 10 pounds of 2-row. According to everything I have read 2-row has an SRM rating of 1.8..... Mine has come out a deep red... almost like a light bock. I kinda have two questions. When you use more then 1 pound of grain, is...

Okay, so Ive read some recipes where you add additional sugars i.e. brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses... to the primary after so many days of fermentation. My question is how in the world do your figure out your ABV if your gravity readings are always changing?? Do you take a reading every...
