I made my first AG batch last weekend. A simple Amber Ale.. I under-shot my OG a bit.. I ended up with 1.036 (predicted was 1.048) so I added a pound of DME to make up for it. I checked gravity tonight and it's at 1.006 which surprised me. I was expecting a FG of 1.010.. I'm guessing this isn't a bad thing. I tasted the sample, and WOW! It's the best tasting beer I've made! I'm very excited about AG at this point. I'm sure I'll get better efficiency on the next one, because I know I made a few mistakes on the first batch. I've tweaked my process to work out the bugs that gave me such bad efficiency the first time. I can't wait to brew my next AG batch!
