I am having a problem moving to a 10 gl batch. I was mashing 5 gl water at 170 strike getting around 156 mash. I have a 10 gl mash tun and when I went 7 gl strike at 170 I got a 149 mash. Do I need a hotter strike or bigger mash tun. I spent a lot making the move from 6 gl mash tun to 10. Do I...
Ok so I use secondary when I hit my target fg. This last batch when I hit 1.01 I did not wait 3 days to see if it changed I just racked it to secondary. After a week a lot more yeast had dropped so I put it in the fridge (a trick some have told me gets better clarity) now it has been in there a...

"First fermentation at 72-74 F. Hold for 4 days. Whirlpool, drain trub at day 4, 5, and 6. On day 4 start secondary fermentation. Light body will floculate fast with terminal gravity approaching near 1.0. Cold condition 2 weeks at 33-36F."
What does that mean? I am new and all I know is to put...
