I brewed the baltic porter kit from NB. The OG is suppose to be around 1.080 mine was 1.043. I somehow screwed up my sparge volume and ended up with a gallon left over. Could this be why the gravity was way off?
So...to start the second stage of fermentation with carboys you would rack from one carboy to another. If you're using a conical you would just drop the yeast out the bottom to start the secondary fermentation?
I've been looking at a bunch of recipes and some of them say to use X amount of DME. I know it means dry malt extract but is it referring to light, amber, or dark DME?
