Just bottled my first batch. I had a taste, tastes like it should, except a little weak in flavor. It was an extract brew and I suspect that I didn't get all of the flavor from the grains and wanted to know what is good practice. I tried to squeeze out the juice but what I did was insufficient.
I thought next time I would hold off on a gallon of water, heat it to the steeping temp and pour it over the grain bag to get more of the flavor. I make 2 1/2 gallon batches and loose a gallon to evaporation. So, I would start with the 2 1/2 gallons and use the other gallon to rinse the grains, any suggestion would be appreciated.
