    Pre boil vs post boil

    Good stuff. Thanks guys. I'll go with the 1.063 and make sure to mix a bit before reading after cooling.

    Pre boil vs post boil

    So do you think the 1.072 reading post boil was a fluke?

    Pre boil vs post boil

    UPDATE 24 hours in and I took a new reading: 1.051 with Hydrometer and 1.060 with refractometer. Which do I read? Is this my OG or just coming down to my FG?

    Pre boil vs post boil

    I should've noted that I brew small batches. This was a volume of 2.75 gallons pre boil and about 1.8 gallons post boil. My readings are all done with a refractometer and it was calibrated before brewing. The temp with the post boil reading was about 78 degrees. It's been in the fermenter for...

    Pre boil vs post boil

    Second AG and my pre boil gravity was spot on (1.041). My post boil was 1.075. Does that make sense? If so, what is my OG when calculating ABV and how does it affect my FG which is supposed to hit 1.013.

    First time with Wyeast

    I'm brewing a small batch of a Winter Warmer using Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Ale. It'll be my first time brewing with Wyeast. The total batch size should be between 2-3 gallons. I have the yeast now and plan on brewing 11/2. How should I store the pack until then? Also, when should I take it...

    Low Alcohol

    Oh great, I'm sure I've read that somewhere! Once it's done in secondary ill take a FG with my hydrometer. Thanks so much. Love this forum.

    Low Alcohol

    I did. Why?

    Low Alcohol

    Honestly it was my first time with liquid yeast and I didn't use a starter. Also when I opened it it exploded and I didn't get it all in. Luckily it's a 2 gallon batch so it's not a total waste. Taste is great so it looks like I need to work on my yeast starter skills.

    Low Alcohol

    I just racked my first AG Pale into the secondary and took a gravity reading. My OG was 1.044 and my current reading is 1.031! Am I stuck with a low ABV beer or is there something I can do? Either way, what would I do differently next time. On a side not the sample I took tastes delicious!

    Beer Lacing

    Good or bad? I've heard both but most recently I've heard that its the sign of a dirty glass? Thoughts?

    Sugars

    Perfect. Maple syrup was my number one and since I live in western ny getting the real stuff is very easy. I will add to the boil. Do you think some where in the middle, say 30 min, or towards the beginning or end?
