I'm going with that explanation. Nothing else makes sense :)

I experimented with a batch 2 weeks ago. It's still sitting in a secondary, so the verdict is still out. This forum article helped convince me to try it. Efficiency will be lower, but people have reported higher efficiencies when using BIAB like you are. Good Luck Interesting Article Below...

BDupree, thats a great point. But i actually did that. I have this OCD thing where i have to spin the hydrometer at least twice every time just to make sure it wasn't stuck. Maybe somehow it still was stuck though. I'm assuming that I should go with the second reading? I know there are...

I'll contribute the tobacco from my stash if you send me a sample. After you drink a bottle and live that is:D Quality Assurance is job #1!

Just finished up a brewing a batch of SHMBO Slayer. I used brewtarget and was spot on for all of my numbers. Preboil gravity matched up, post boil gravity matched up. Everything was perfect, infact almost too perfect. My numbers matched my Brewtarget numbers exactly. I left the sample flask...

Man, I have a long way to go to learn my brew vocabulary! My yeast was labeled a lager yeast, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. It was "Saflager S-23 Dry Lager Yeast"

Thanks for the input everyone. Sounds like I am good to go!

Nope. The recipe calls for extra light dried malt extract, honey, and hops. Pretty simple. I added those all at the beginning. I am doing a 60 min boil, and they have all been in for the full 60 minutes. I was just confused about the logistics of the full boil I guess:drunk:

hey thanks for the responses. I did add all my ingredients at the same time or withing minutes. I was just worried that starting with a full 5 gallons (instead of 2-3 then topping off and bringing to a full boil) might make the brew turn out watery? Like I said, this is only my second full boil...

First of all, here is my informal introduction! My name is Cody and I have been brewing since december. I am on my 4th batch of beer right now, and I am making Papazian's Rocky Racoon Honey Lager. This is only my second non-kit, and full boil beer. In my haste, I filled my pot with water...
