I did opt to bottle as is even though I ended up with only 3 gals. Let's say for example recipe is 1.050 down to 1.010 And I get 1.060 down to 1.030 with more volume loss than normal. We have established that my FG number is likely off because of the refractometer use, but if those...

If your beer has dropped in gravity as the recipe predicts, and you're short on volume, then your beer is concentrated?

Any quick guesses on how far off a refractometer will be at FG? (@6%ABV)

Thanks Yooper! I wasn't aware that a refractometer post-boil was ill-advised. Luckily I have a hydrometer still and will be going back to that in the fermentation. [emoji482]

I have purchased a rims tube and 90% of the other parts, just waiting on a buddy to wire it up. I am hoping that my issue is: I'm mashing at higher temps than I think I am, therefore extracting unfermentables. I never have an off flavor persay, just alcohol is lacking. To me it seems there's...

BIAB. Mashed at 152 with a constant vorlof(to try and maintain temp through the batch as much as possible). but with keggle it never keeps temp so we ended up turning on the burner twice(this where I think the problem is) squeeze the bag. Plenty of yeast, purchased two days prior. It goes...

Batch after batch never finishes as low as the recipe predicts for me ever since I started using more volume in a keggle. I think I'm scorching some grain resulting in unfermentables...

This batch is already bottled. More so curious for next time. I must have fermented what sugar was there because my gravity was no longer dropping(right?) Here's my line of thinking: I have lost much more volume than I expected. If I were to have added water than my overall specific gravity...

My partner and I hadn't brewed in a long time and apparently forgot the basics :/. Due to a more vigorous boil and using whole hops(a new venture) we were a gallon short after the boil. The recipe(pale ale) called for 1.050 and we had a reading of 1.060. Why didn't we add water at this point?! I...

How can Chelsea be the most hated?! These same tactics can be seen with any BPL team. Just because your own team cannot hang, does not mean we deserve to be hanged.

Any help? About to trial and error.

New to HBT. I am in the process of building a CFC using 3/8 OD copper wort line and a pump from keggle with a ball-valve. The inlet of my design is practically identical to OP's. On the outlet wort line I have added a ball valve(I was told to never restrict inlet side of pump). I am interested...
