Well, the results from my first all-grain beer(s) are in and I am HOOKED! The first was a Strawberry Blonde (OG - 1.057 / FG - 0.995). As expected, based on all the help provided here, it was not the best but is drinkable. The second beer was an Oatmeal Stout (OG - 1.072 / FG 1.030), great flavor but not exactly what I wanted, already working on some small modifications to the recipe for the next batch (pictured). The third beer was a Chocolate Coffee Stout (OG - 1.070 / FG 1.023) which came out about as perfect in flavor as we could ever hope for.
Although the beers where great, and I am very satisfied with the results, I of course have more questions. Both the Stouts missed the final gravity that the Brewers Friend recipe had listed (Oatmeal 1.030 vs 1.020 expected, Coffee Stout 1.023 vs 1.016 expected). Any feedback on what some of the more obvious items that would cause poor attenuation (think that is the correct term) would be appreciated.
Thanks again for all of the feedback and help over the past few weeks.
