Hi all, Been doing a few simple ag brews roughly following clibits recipes. Been pretty happy with taste and aroma but they do seem a little thin. I am using some flaked barley to improve head retention but is there anything else that can give a beer more body or would that come from more...

Hi all, Got a brew on last night, my Sg ended up at 1.060 which was a little higher than I wanted. Is there a chart or way of working out how much water I would need to add in order to reduce the Sg? I’m sure there is some way but I couldn’t find anything. I can’t use my hydrometer as I would...
