I just bottled my first batch, an Edme Irish Red ale kit. When I filled the primary, I had 5 gallons. After two and a half weeks in the secondary, I bottled this evening.
I got a total of 26 - 20 oz. bottles, or 520 ounces out of the original 640. This seemed a bit low, but perhaps not. I did, of course, leave a little in the primary when I racked to the secondary, and again in the secondary when I racked to the bottling bucket, and removed perhaps 20 oz total in testing gravity, so perhaps I am on target.
So, the question: About how many ounces do you all get from your average 5 gallon extract batch?
I appreciate the feedback.
