I'm hooked on this hobby!

Just wanted to let everyone know my belgian golden came out awesome! I don't think I would want it any stronger. Good clarity, color, flavor, and the hops came through well. Thanks for all the help guys!

This is why I'm here! Learning! The more you know! Lol. Thanks everyone, especially bracconiere

I see what your saying. Would a half gallon get you in line with claims of the kit?

Thanks for being so helpful man but I'm not with the beer currently. I set it to cold crash before I left so I may not mess with another sample. I'm not planning on making any corrections. Just learning all I can. Looked like beer Smith was closer to what I got than the kit claims anyway

Cool! So if I understand reading your software I was only a couple points shy of hitting OG correct? So I guess my question now would be is it unusual for kit claims to be that far from what you software comes up with?

The late additions boiled 10 minutes I think try to keep from over darkening I suppose. I do have a refractometer of the cheap Amazon variety. How would one do this reverse calculation?

It's the brew sheet that's in the kit in pdf form from BB website

A plastic test jar that came with it. I'm not sure how to predict my own gravity. The sugars listed above (or in the pdf I just attached) what do you get? I'm quoting the pdf on what the target was. Weather or not the sugars and water volume I have described comes up to that in the mind of the...

This is exactly what I'm working with

Well, I'm really not sure how impossible it is. I don't yet do my own math on the gravity of fermentables, but some other posters say I was right on their conversion of the ingredients I listed so I'm not sure why BB came up with the numbers they did

It's pretty dead on in water. It's the cheapy that comes from NB. but I already had it. Chart was rolled right up in the storage tube

Lol I had to look up Squarespace lol! Yes I'm hate the interface of the site. Prices are good though I think, and from what I see in person they would be good to work with online. They are pretty responsive to text to the shop phone and Google chat. I ain't know much about web design, and have...

My hydrometer calls for 60°f and I was at 66°f. Chart that came with it said to add .001

You lost me? Who is the "they" in this scenario?
