I do have three different recipes however all of the same recipes are using the same grain bill, hops, temp and mash times. Basically I separated the wort after the boil. I do agree with your argument, that the three different recipes will not be comparable to the others. This is not...

I agree but the base malt is all 2 row, and two of the batches are split between three deferent yeasts I look at hops and malt imparting strong flavors and the yeast imparting subtle flavors. From my limited knowledge hops and malt are much more predictable then yeast, but I could be wrong.

A buddy of mine who is a big brewer is moving to China and had to get rid of his brew gear. I was the beneficiary. I had only one little kegerator that I was using as a fermenter. I received fermenter on wheels with a room air conditioner attached that could hold 40 gal of beer. So I went a...

One reason is I'm doing a 5 gallon brew in a 10 gal mash tun. My target was 1.050 actual was 1.035. What can I do to compensate.

So I tried my first all grain brew yesterday. The recipe call for 14.6 quarts of strike water. however I loose approximately 8 quarts under the false bottom, and the rest of the water does not cover my grains. should I leave it be or add more water to cover grains.
