Jun 20	comment	How much weight to add to a dry-hop bag? your over-thinking this. just add the hops to the carboy. wait 7-14 days. bottle/keg. enjoy. we're talking about 5 gallons, not 500.

Jun 12	revised	Why is my starting gravity low? provided an update on my progress with this problem
Jun 12	comment	Why does the temperature of bottle conditioning determine the amount of priming sugar? co2 is solvent in solutions. the cooler the temperature of the liquid the more co2 can be absorbed. another reason why you want to chill your brew before opening.
May 16	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? interesting, because this is almost the opposite of what I told. I was told that a 30 minute rest wouldn't make a difference. the point of the strike water (?) is to stop the sugar conversion/extraction. so 0 min, or 30 min makes no difference. my quest for better efficiency continues.

Mar 26	comment	Mash Efficiency and Quality of Wort how was the final product? if you were satisfied then there isn't a problem. if the flavor was 'off' then this would be one aspect to adjust.

Feb 27	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? This seemed to make a difference. I also boosted the base grains from 6.5 to 8 lbs to get a bigger beer. all told I had 5.5 gal in primary and the SG was slightly higher than the directions calculated. expected more with more grain, but it may be a volume issue. that's next on the list to tackle.

Jan 30	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? thanks for the tip. another excuse to swing by the supply store:)
Jan 30	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? OK, now I understand. I have always purchased kits, so I don't usually have extra ingredients.
Jan 29	revised	Why is my starting gravity low? update on the status of my results.
Jan 28	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? I think this is my next logical step easy to make these corrections and see if my numbers hit.
Jan 27	comment	Why is my starting gravity low? i understood reads should be taken at ambient (68F) when transferring to primary. How would I take a reading pre-boil?
