I'm still definitely a beginner, with around 10 homebrew batches, extract and all grain. I can't seem to ever get an original gravity of over 1.050. What is a good way to get my high gravity lovin' on? I just did a strawberry honey blonde ale yesterday night, and it was around 1.046. With 3 pounds of honey, and 2pounds of strawberries, I expected it to be at least a little bit higher. I just got beersmith2, and know I hit all my mash temps, and had a really good boil. I've heard of people putting sugar into the boil to increase alcohol potency, so I figured the 3lbs of honey would suffice. It would be nice to get a really alcohol potent ale.
