So... seein' that I am new to this... a guy I know said that I have been brewing my batches of wort way too small for 5 gallons of beer.
I brew 2.5 gallons of wort and then add that to 2 gallons of cold water already in a 6 gallon carboy. Then top off the carboy to 5 gallons.
He says that he brews 5 gallons of wort for 5 gallons of beer. Then adds the wort to a 6 gallon brewing bucket, and then tops off to 5 gallons.
He seems like a know-it-all. Not one of my buds but a mutual friend of a friend. If he's a member here... oh well. LOL. But I doubt he is.
Anyways... that seems like a lot of wort for 5 gallons.
What are you'se guys thoughts on this? I'm not changing the way I do stuff... I am enjoying my beer and having fun brewing it. Also glad I found this forum too!
