Good luck with your next step, AG gives you a bit more control of your recipes. As Jeff said if you're stumped on something ask!

Good luck on the move. Staying in the area? Have relatives in McFarland, too cold is not what I'd call 26 below zero during the day, I'd call that I'm not leaving the house till it gets above zero!

Sounds like you're getting it dialed in.

Good looking pour, you will also find that your beers will clear to almost the point of a lager now that you're kegging.

Most conversion is done in the first 10 minutes from what I have gathered. An easy way to figure that out would be do a 60 minute mash, pull a gravity sample at 30, 40,50 and at 60. Gravity points will tell you for sure where it stops converting. My two cents!

Here is a link to a conversion from Grain to dry and liquid equivalents. This should help in converting recipes from grain to extract and extract to grain if need be.

More carbonation could come from a couple things, leave them at room temp for 4 weeks to condition, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours for the CO2 to absorb into the beer. Some of these kits are misleading on how quick you...
