So what your saying then is mash at a lower water grist ratio and no sparging?

But would the water ratio stay the same ? I guess what I’m have trouble grasping is if I use 10 pounds of grain with a water to grain ratio of. 1.5/1 wouldn’t the gravity be the same whether it’s 10 or 20 pounds if I use the same water ratio

What do you mean by over the top with grist ? I appreciate all the advice so your saying to no sparge and maybe keep a 1.5 water to grain ratio ? o

hey guys thinking of an all grain barleywine I’m confused though I heard to get a high gravity wort from mash I need to have a thicket water to frost ratio so reduce down to 1 quart to pound of grain ? I’d like to have as little addition and try to get most out of grain as possible

Hey man you asked how my beer turned out it was great :) however since it’s my first batch I feel like it’s a kid I think it’s beautiful even though it could be ugly as ****

Thanks what does warming actually do ? I keep the beer at optimum temperature

is there a way to get a gravity reading sample while letting minimum oxygen in is it that important

I plan on boozing up a heifeweizen and can you explain about staying in limits of yeast

Hydrometer

Hey guys I apologize for the confusion I was only saying 5%as an example I should have probably said 15% I’m mainly asking cause if I want to make a boozier version of a beer what to do

I was just giving an example thanks for the quick response

hey guys this maybe a stupid question but I heard that to raise abv just add sugar however why is that ? If a yeast is alcohol tolerant to 5% wouldn’t that mean it can only ferment to bring back the abv to 5% wouldn’t it make more sense to use a better yeast ? Hey guys I apologize for the...

hey guys the continuing story of my left hand milk stout clone after week in primary I took a sample for fg target fig was 1.016 and I got 1.022 I know this is too high since this was my first brew I used dry yeast and did not hydrate well I can tell primary fermentation is dying down do to no...
