    Extract OG way lower than target

    I’m a bit confused. I’m a bit confused or just extremely slow so please forgive me. I used 4 gallons of water (distilled, 4x1gal jugs) and placed 7.5# LME (1.5# jug and a 6# jug) in the kettle along with 1# of D-180. When calculated under the Anvil Foundry 10.5 120v profile in Brewfather, the...

    Extract OG way lower than target

    That’s a good question. I’d say there was around .5-.7 gallons of cold break with the remainder residual wort. With the LME I was wondering how it was going to affect the final volume. I guess I could calculate that into my losses.

    Extract OG way lower than target

    I just did this and the gravity fell right around where I ended up. I then used calculations above and arrived at the TG I was hoping for. 1 gallon of trub loss seems like a ton compared to my AG brews but oh well. Thanks for everyone’s help.

    Extract OG way lower than target

    Right. In Brewfather for 4 gallons (to account for boil off, trub/chill, etc) 7.5# of LME and 1# of D-180, and I suppose the minimal 6oz of special b was going to give a target of 1.097. In my calculations I’m around 2.5# of fermentables shy. Weird.

    Extract OG way lower than target

    I just measured the wort left in my kettle and it was just shy of 1 gallon not .5. So that makes sense. How would I calculate this in Brewfather?

    Extract OG way lower than target

    3 gallons exactly. In the pot maybe .5 gallon. This is using my Brewfather profile. I should also note, 10.5 anvil foundry 120v.

    Extract OG way lower than target

    This may be posted elsewhere, however my searches lead me only to kits. I’ve been brewing AG for a few years but time has been short so today I brewed my first extract. I ran the number through Brewfather and brewed a 3gal Quad. The Target was 1.097 but I was way under at 1.078. Here’s my...

    Getting Wyeast to produce PC strains

    Their beers are delicious. I’m just looking to do an 8% Golden Strong.

    Omegas OYL-029 (same Belgian Wheat strain) is in stock on Northern Brewer. Thanks for everyone’s help!

    Getting Wyeast to produce PC strains

    This might be the only way. I’ll grab a bottle or two of Arabier and tie one on. Thanks!

    Getting Wyeast to produce PC strains

    Omega Yeasts OYL-029 seems to fit the wy3942 profile, thanks!

    Getting Wyeast to produce PC strains

    Does White Labs carry this strain?

    Getting Wyeast to produce PC strains

    Over the years I’ve been falling in love with De Dolle, I just had a glass of Teve before writing this. Wyeast has the Belgian Wheat 3942-PC strain, but it isn’t available now. I was reading on Wyeast website that states; What if I want a strain that is not offered in the Wyeast’s normal...

    Anvil Foundry 1st brew day. Help?

    I just got my hands on an Anvil Foundry 10.5 and decided to take it on its maiden voyage with a simple saison. The brewday started off easy, mashed in and after 10 minutes of continuous recirculating, I checked the Ph, 5.29. Finished the mash, sparged at 170f and boiled for 60 minutes. After...
