hey everyone!
so my friend and I have been brewing for almost about a year now, and this is our 5th batch we just did, 2nd all grain batch. We did an IPA and I THOUGHT it was going to turn out well. We brewed saturday afternoon and put it in the primary saturday night. sunday night it was bubbling really hard, about 1 bubble every second, then yesterday the pressure in the air lock evened out and it stopped bubbling. should I be concerned, maybe dry hop and move to secondary?
also, we have been buying grains to yield about 5 gallons in the end, and have only been getting about 3.5 - 4 gallons. is there something we are doing wrong like maybe just not sparging long enough, or are we just not buying enough grains and using enough water? Our color usually starts out pretty dark, and then gets rather light, and I'm sure we have lost quite a bit of water during boiling process but I'm just not sure if we are missing anything here. any advice would help greatly.
thanks!
