So I have a question. In extract brewing you are told not to squeeze the specialty malts while draining. Yet in all grain I see some people squeezing the base malts to get out all the liquid. Questions is does the difference in base malts to specialty malts the reason for not squeezing one...

I have a white labs Abby Ale yeast WLP530. Bought it and didn't need it. That is a long story but anyway does anyone have a recommendation on what type of extract kit I can use this with? Thanks in advance.

Stupid question and sorry for bothering everyone. I used 4 gallons instead of the recommended 2.5 gallons per my extract kit instructions. So the question is would this cause my OG to be higher than if I did the 2.5 gallons? Kit says it should be 1.052 and I am getting 1.060. I already have...
