well i dont have dead space because my pumps suck every drop out of the tun and kettle. i did adjust the est. pre boil now its 11.46 gal. so this should work out much better. thanks

Hi, second batch on my new system, i have a question. i plug the recipe into beersmith for 10 gal. it says est pre boil volume for 10 gallon is 13.44 gallon. by the end of my 60 min boil i am right at 12 gal. maybe a lil bit more than 12. by the time i put it in the fermentor i have around...

:ban: no dry hops , just an american ale. this was the first batch on my new system. man i love this:ban::ban::ban:

well i have a copmpletly closed transfer system, sabco primary and the sabco condition vessel.

for the og i used the refrac sg scale, the refrac has sg/brix

i just checked my hydrometer again and its at 1.010 down from og of 1.053 the refrac seems to stay at 1.025

so i am getting ready to tranfer to my secondary, been fermenting the primary for 2 weeks @ 70, my question is what should be the secondary temp the same or serving temps?

i used wlp001 california ale, made a 2L starter with stir plate.

thats the one i am using... my og was 1.053 or about 13.5 brix when i measure a week later i am grtting 1.025 or 6.2 brix... hydro says 1.012 so we are close.

now that you have sent this link, the refract would be corrected saying 1.010 instead of the 1.025, which is very close to the hydro reading at 1.012. thanks for the help guys.

thank you for clearing that up, we learn something new everyday thanks again.

i have the atc brew fractometer, so which one is correct?? or how do i adjust?

it taste done to me, more dry than sweet. but why the 2 different readings?

well after a week of fermenting i did a check on gravity and i am getting 2 different results, hydro is telling me it is at 1.013 and refracto is saying 1.025 i wonder which is right, i also wonder why two different readings? thanks in advance.

yes, preboil was 13 gallons, post boil was a little over 10.5. it was 15% in the bill, max was not to exceed 20%
