    First 10 gal batch, low OG too dilute

    Okay and about how many points do you gain for a 60 min boil? 10?

    First 10 gal batch, low OG too dilute

    After about 3 years of partial mash brewing, I decided to upgrade to all grain brewing. My first batch came out perfect (high gravity stout), but I think mostly attributed to beginners luck. My next batch, a 5 gal IPA came out good, but I boiled off too much and had a larger than expect OG...
