notice the wardrobe storage has reduced the AA's to 2.1 !

the freezer serves as a beer dispenser and general equipment stand at the moment

I will try freezing some next time , especially if i by that amount again.

just finished with an OG of 1038

beersmith reckoned on 1059 ! Im not sure if its beersmith or me but my conversion rates have dropped of remarkably since i started using it . ah well it should pan out to about 4% which is bearable

your beersmith must be out somewhat a brew length of 19l would need 100% to get 59!

20l @38 is 69% in my reconning 23l is 79%

hmm i must be putting a wrong amount in somewhere

mind you 69% is still worse than i used to achieve and i havent changed my process one jot. some contemplation is called for i think

You can always lob in a bag or two of spray malt over the next day.

what straight into the fermenting wort?

cheers Daab

79% is better as well
