Hello,
I'm about to start my fisrt beer brew ever (have done some wine but never beer). I'm making a centennial blonde (Biermuncher's on homebrewtalk) that calls for a total of 8.8lb of malt (7lb pale malt, 12oz carapils, .5lb caramel, .5lb vienna malt). However, I just double checked the grind i bought from my LHBS and the bag is 9.8 lb. Should I remove 1 lb or just brew it all? What do i need to adjust in biabacus?
Thanks,
billy

I normally shake wort vigorously before pitching wort. After pitching I will sometimes give it a shake now and then the first few days for extra O2 but the additional shaking may not be that important... Supposedly if you do it late in the fermentation it can oxidize your beer. (?) So I avoid doing it later on, but don't worry about it too much just the same...
Nice to hear that you're on your way...! Good job. For sure, let us know how it turns out.
I've got to try wine fermentation...
