I have no idea what attenuation means in this application. I'm a physics geek but I'm guessing it's the gradual reduction of intensity (gravity in this case) I used White Labs California V. This is the exact recipe I used: http://www.defalcos.com/component/content/article/133.html

Pardon my ignorance, but FV?

You are correct, Sir! Though I've really been wanting to try partial mash. Good to know about the tannins, would those add a bitter taste to the beer? If so then they might be to blame for some of what I dont like about my first batch. The water is really good, I'm brewing in a...

Im guessing it becomes more concentrated this way? it makes sense.

Sweetness, will definitely try it like that next time. Seems like it would absorb more flavour this way?

Thanks! I have to be a little more careful with my volumes! I was wondering whether the fact that I've been straining and passing it onto the secondary is keeping it from developing more body, as it "cleans" it from the sediments

this is the second beer i've done this way. I'm not particularly happy with how the first one came out though, it lacks body. The second one, which I brewed last week and put into the secondary on friday seems to have a low gravity. FG was supposed to be 1.015, and Im at 1.011 right now (when...

Sweet! Thanks, I was getting worried there for a second. This place is awesome, I'd registered a while back but hadn't delved into it until this morning. I've managed to get absolutely no work done in 3 and a half hours since then :D

Hey guys, a quick question. I brewed a batch of Brown last week, and when I passed it onto the secondary the gravity was 1.011. Which seems to be a little too low, I was expecting to be in the 20's. Is this an indication that something has gone terribly awry?
