Hi, I just have a quick question. I started homebrewing again after a 2 year break and guess I would still call myself a beginner. I have begun looking into all grain brewing and starting to make my own recipes. So here are my two questions.
1) What is the point of the intended specific gravity? And what does it mean?
That question may seem a little vague so maybe the second one will clean up what I am confused about a little more.
2) In the books I am reading when they talk about making your own recipe they always talk about a target gravity. How do you choose a target gravity? I know you just dont pick a gravity and try and hit it. But in all the books they dont explain why and how to choose your target gravity. If this could be explained to me it would make me stop banging my head.
