It tastes pretty good, I think Im going to be happy with it. I don't think I'm up for trying this but if I were to add enough sterilized cool water to the bottling bucket to bring it up to 6 gallons would I be able to drop the beer to the intended alcohol percentage or would that screw the beer...

I was shooting for 6 gallons but I ended up with about 5.6 gallons.

Thanks for reminding me. I read that a while ago but with all the subtitles involved in brewing I forgot about that one.

So I just took a reading with my hydrometer and this what I got. So I guess I'm right where I should be after all. My refractometer is still reading 1.034 I've never calibrated it so I think I'm going to do that before I use it again. I'm fairly confident that my og was 1.075 I remember my...

I fly sprayed for about an hour and I used orgainc grains which I've read could possibly extract more efficently..?? I also over boiled and ended up with about 5.6 gallons instead of 6. so that would put me around 90% efficiency if in doing the calculations correctly. I'm pretty sure my...

So if the yeast stopped early is there anything I should do or will it be fine if just left alone? I'm also sorta confused by gravity did I achieve a higher gravity b/c I over extracted sugar from the grain or some other reason?

Alright. Thanks a lot guys.

When I used a yeast pitch calculator it told me to make a 2liter starter for this batch but I only have a 1 liter flask and I didn't want to under pitch so I went to my LHBS and all they had was the English ale yeast so I picked that up and decided to just mix them with there recommendation. The...
