I brewed this recipe this weekend...I think its going to turn out great but I did some noobish things when I brewed. First off I want to say that I'm using the biab method just to get my feet in the all-grain waters. I mashed as per the instructions for that method and at the end after I pulled the grains out I was left with 6.5 gal of water I took a gravity reading and seemed way low...Like 60% efficiency low but this was pre-boil so I thought perhaps I would boil for 1 1/2 hours and take it 30 minutes in and add DME until I hit the numbers...Well I did that added about 1lb of DME because the hydro #'s were still very low at 30 min in. After the boil and cooling down I took another reading and I was 10 points to high! I guess I just dont understand the whole pre-boil hydro reading I didnt think that boiling would change it that much. All was well though because I just added water to the wort until the hydro reading was spot on what your recipe called for. 3 days in and its already down to 1.016 and still chuggin away.
Were guys seeing very much of a krausen on this one? I only got maybe 2 fingers high and it already dropped back out.
Sorry for the long rant I just wanted to share my experience.
