+ 5 gals of blonde 30509.5

I did not take an initial reading. My measurement was when I was about to pitch my yeast and button things up. Since then I have read about a post boil reading. Another 20 batches and I bet I will have a good procedure!

My first attempt and all grain and really missed the OG. Mine was 1.03 vs target 1.04. I knew I was going to be inefficient, but didn't realize I would be that far off. It's fermenting, so at least I will still have beer. Other than a lower ABV, are there any other characteristics to expect?

5 gal IPA 14,210

Does anyone know what size refrigerator will hold 60 bottles of beer? I've been thinking about a mini (or compact) size 5-6 cubic feet. Should I skip this and go straight for a full size?

First timer here and followed the instructions that came with the kit and have a nice 3 day old batch in my plastic bottling bucket bubbling nicely. The directions call for moving to the glass carjoy at 1 week for secondary fermentation. Looking on here it appears the consensus is no need...
