Just brewed our first AG batch yesterday. Nothing went right. I think one of the biggest problems was the amount of space underneath the spigot inside the keggle. The wort we lost underneath our spigot measured about 2.3 gallons!? Our spigot is as low as possible on the keg to where the washers would still fit. I guess my question is since we are losing that much wort we have to compensate by adding more water. But, in doing that, doesn't that create a very watered down beer? It seems that we would have to modify each recipe to some ratio and figure out to add that much more grain each time. Seems like we were doing something wrong. Was wondering what others out there with spigots drilled through the sides of their keggles do?
Thanks for any help.
