I have yet to get a 50 bottle batch... does that mean my 5-gal marker on my carboy is wrong (I wish carboys had markings on them, I estimated it myself by filling it and pouring 1 gallon out roughly).
The weird thing is my FG's are usually right on, and my OG's are usually light (I partial boil, and am told getting an accurate measurement is really hard due to the water not being mixed well when it first goes in the fermenter). However, my last batch I had the OG and FG that the recipe had... still ended up with 46 bottles.
There's usually a lot of trub at the bottom of my fermenter, and maybe a half beer left in the bottling bucket unless i work hard to tip it all the way...
Just curious.
