Please send me the code....I'm looking to expand.:ban:

I have been using a local fire extinguisher shop. $2.00 a pound, $10.00 minimum.

I really wasn't. I left my computer behind and went ahead with a recipe without getting the numbers crunched. Where is a good baseline to set the efficiency in beersmith? Should I start around 70%?

14.5 # 2 row 1.5 # crystal 60 I brewed in a bag starting with 8.5 gallons. Mashed in at 162 for an hour it held about 154. Post boil was about 6 gallons. I really have no clue where I went wrong.

Today I brewed a pale ale. My post boil gravity is reading 1.080. I was shooting for about 1.054-56. I rounded up the grain bill slightly but didn't. Expect this big of a jump. What can I do to lower the gravity? Can I add water and split to two fermenters?

Wow! Well done.

Recieved mine today. Excited to get'em filled. Thanks BrownDog!

New to brewing. My wonderful wife bought me a kit for Father's Day. I have screwed up every part of the process, so far, but have not had this much fun in a long time. Can't wait to taste the beer.
