Thanks for all the help guys

I got the acid malt bagged separately, I'm going to hit up my homebrew store and see if they have something for me to measure. Thanks again

I use RO from the grocery store. Assuming (until I get a way of measuring) the RO is superior, will my 8oz of German Acid in my grain bill be to much? It's 3% of my grain bill(18lbs DIPA) And thanks for all of your response. This is brew #24 for me and I'm just now getting into water chem.

I'm using RO which should basically be a blank slate correct?

Do I need to bump down the Acid grains on this? It's 3% of the grain bill

I havent done anything to warm up the fermentor and yes i Measure with a Hydrometer, I just tested it and it was at 1.000 in water. i would say temp at Ferm was around 65-70

Made a yeast starter, brew day got pushed back a couple of days so the yeast starter was going for 4 days before pitched. I was 4 points above my target OG. This put me at 1.060 which is getting into a higher gravity than what the US-05 is for. Fermentation went on extremly active for 4-5 days...

I thought I had the hops I needed for a Kolsch recipe I built. Well I didn't so I boiled in Galaxy hops to make it a Pale Ale? I use beer smith and made sure my bitterness was in the ranges. Did I mess this up, will my grains work for a pale Ale vs Kolsch?

Thank you!

I want to added frozen strawberries to the secondary. Do they need to be in a bag or can I just transfer the beer on top of the strawberries?

It is a 5gallon batch

And thank you all for the advice [emoji1]

I added a 1/2 lb of DME, is there anyway to calculate ABV now?

Had to add a gallon of water at the end because I did not put enough water in the mash ton. I did a winter Ale this past Saturday and it my OG of 1.056. My OG on the brown was so low because I didn't soak the grains with the right amount of water. I was off by a gallon [emoji17]

Can I add extract? Here is the brew. I made a brown ale, being my first AG I did not take into account service air temp and I ended up mashing 12 degrees lower than what I should have, I heated up exactly what I wanted and did not take into water burn off. So I didn't measure the water going in...
