    About to brew first batch!!!! Questions of course..

    A) Don’t add ice but topping off with cold water should be fine. I used to keep my top off water in the fridge prior to dumping it in the carboy. Keep in mind that adding some cold water to a pot of boiling water might not lower the temp as much as you expect it would. You want to do the ice...

    Tips for a first time AG brewer

    I hear you and I've thought about that but personally I go high gravity most every time. One of the main reasons I moving to AG is so I don't have to use so much malt extract to get to 8% abv. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
