Hi all,
I have just got my first AG into the Primary and... I have about 10 litres.
Boil SG
OG all on point - but yea massive losses.
I started with 23 litres total and have just realised that should have been my total boil size - so I know I have lost some there.
On the boil I have an electric Brupaks boiler which I left the lid off of - I think I lost A LOT here... Should this be left at simmer, because it still delivered a consistent rolling boil.
We have a homebrew shop in town, I may head in and get another Primary and put a second batch on Monday - I mean, that's what bank holidays are for right? But what should my starting litreage be for a 20L final batch?
Secondly for this batch, should I pitch a half pack of Safale-05 - or just go whole hog? Is there anyway to get a bigger batch or is that just asking for problems?
