Next thing, are we ok with OG?

[Will_D]

Next thing, are we ok with OG?

What - too low or too high?

[nigel_c]

WLP 500?

[Jacob]

What - too low or too high?

Just asking cause it's 1.109 on the original recipe.

[Jacob]

WLP 500?

or 530

[nigel_c]

Should finish around 9% so I'd be happy enough with that.

[Will_D]

Just asking cause it's 1.109 on the original recipe.

Methinks I have too much water (5 real gallons as opposed to 5 gallons US!)

Just need to re-tweek the water or up the malts by a couple of percent.

I will wait for "Nigel the Recipe" to upgrade it!!

[delzep]

Any blow-ins allowed?

As a side note - shouldn't pilsner malt be boiled for 90 minutes?

[imark]

Yes
