Hi Guys, Im planning to brew my first AG this weekend and a have some questions.
I never understood the OG issue; the recipe calls for OG: 1.051, should I take the reading before boil or after?
To calculate my efficiency, which OG reading should I use? Pre boil or post boil?
Let say I missed my OG, just for example I hit an OG: 1.045. How much DME should I use to compensate on a 5.5g batch? 1 cup = 2 points? Something like that?
Im worried about propane. Im using a Bayou classic. Half a tank is enough for a 5.5g brew day?
Thanks a lot for your help and advice. I love this forum.
Cheers
