    SG of mash vs SG of wort

    Does boiling mash increase SG? Some youtube videos I've been watching always take a SG measurement of the mash, is the SG measurement of mash the same measurement you get after boil? If not, why even take a SG measurement for the mash?

    Lagering in Primary or Secondary?

    I read conflicting information on lagering in primary Some say better to transfer to secondary Others say it doesn't matter What are your experiences lagering your beer in primary, has this ever caused any haziness or off-flavors at the end of your lagering process?

    Sanitize or not sanitize?

    I added sugar during transfer to hopefully negate the effect of oxygenation, not sure if that would help

    Sanitize or not sanitize?

    No, simply change the water in the swamp cooler for new water Actually I meant to say Acetaldehyde The previous 3 brews I left for 3 weeks, usually by week 1 and 2 the air lock activity stopped Result was ok, it was drinkable, not sour, but very light bodied. I used extracts for those batches...

    Sanitize or not sanitize?

    Update: Tasted the brew again, the taste of ass is no longer there and starts to taste more drinkable but it's still quite sour hmmmmmmmm (perhaps acetyl from what I've read?) Gonna leave in swamp cooler for another week but will most likely change out the swamp cooler water which is starting to...

    Sanitize or not sanitize?

    It was fermented at 65F then jumped to 70F by second day The bucket was unfortunately not fully sealed (air was leaking out) Ignore the data after 3/12. That was when I took the RAPT/TILT pill out of the fermenter during transfer to secondary As you can see, SG was pretty much flat after day 2

    Leaky fermenting bucket?

    I brewed a hefe 2 days ago and is currently fermenting in a bucket. I noticed there is no gas coming out of the blow off tube and realized the lid is not air tight and not fully sealed on the bucket. I heard hefeweizen can be open fermented and some people do it for up to 3 days I don't want to...
