I just finished my first partial mash brew (Brewer’s Best Belgian Triple 1 gal kit). A couple questions.
1.How much beer should I pull out for the OG measurement. The equipment kit I have had a 200 ml graduated cylinder with the hydrometer. No specific instructions as to how much to pull out so I did 200ml. Figured taking too much was better than taking too little. Since I’m going to do 1 gallon brews for a little bit, keeping more in the fermenter is preferred.
2.My OG (correct temp) was 1.100 and the kit gave it a projected range of 1.075-1.078. Obviously, my potential ABV is higher but is there anything else I should be aware of? I still pitched according to the recipe.
After a pair of extract kits to start with, I’m pretty excited to move up in difficultly. It was way more fun that just a straight LME kit.
