Moving to Vicenza this fall and was curious about LHB clubs, groups, etc. read the thread about supplies close by so that's a relief!

The crush was whatever homebrew.org does. Haha

Mash was thin (~1.75 qt/g if I had to guess), and the boil was 60 min. I started with 6.5 gallons and ended with almost exactly 5. I think you may be right about sparging more though (since mash was thin I only poured three 2 quart pitchers on it). I was going to but decided not to figuring I...

So no **** there I was, mashing my pumpkin beer. The anticipated og was 1.103 with my actual og post boil (complete and almost on point 5 gallons) being 1.064.

It sounds like everyone pretty much agrees that dry hopping an Amber is a good idea. I'll keep this updated as it progresses on how it turns out. Just...
