Also, ... if you want to add water to improve efficiency just increase the boil time. Not what you were asking, but it's an option if you have the kettle space. Yeah, that is part of my problem...I'm already trying to maximize my VIF by adding some water pre-boil via full volume variation. My kettl...

As a follow up, I just bottled this batch with ended up with a 1.010 FG. Smelled and tasted amazing, can't wait till the bottles are ready to drink. For what it's worth, I think I figured out at least in part why the OG was lower than expected. It may have had a lttle to do with mash time/temp. But ...

I have used a funnel to transfer the cooled wort from the brew pot to the carboy and I pass it through a mesh strainer to catch some of the trub. I have seen a lot of people talk about using a siphon to transfer th...

So I missed my OG by quite a bit, but just went with it for now since this is a learning batch. My measured OG was 1.042 instead of 053. I figu...
