Partigyle - split the mash or all first for the main, all second for the small?

<< < (6/6)

blatz:
actually, yeah, its about dead on.  I guess I am just used to my smaller beers where I know I will "gain" 12-15 points over the boil, but being that this is so much denser, the 'gain' is much larger. duh!

I ended up with just shy of 6g in the fermentor, and I started with an 8g boil, and that math works out almost perfectly...especially if you use 1.106 as the OG.

tom:
Remember that if you want to brew 10 (or 12) gallons, your boil-off percentage will drop by 50% so you won't get as much increase in gravity through the boil.
Brew on

ndcube:
I can't figure why Beersmith goes by percentage.  I use a gallons per hour figure that comes pretty darn close depending on the weather.
