Had a fun day and made beer. Didnt exactly go to plan but that part of learning i guess. Things i learned
1. Setup your actual equipment in beersmith dont take something that looks close.
2. Have fermentables on hand incase.
3. water is heavy!
I plugged a recipe for a kit i got into beersmith to calculate for biab and had way too much water apparently. I ended up with 7.5 gallons of wort at 1.032 after cooling.
What i ended up doing is adding a couple pounds of honey to the first 5 gallons and some cane sugar to the other 2.5. Still had fun doing my first all grain. Gonna order another kit to try again.
