I had read that 1pt to 1/2 cup was about 1.040, but I didn’t check the gravity so I don’t know. I will add another liter tonight with less than a cup and see what its gravity is. My dad used to have dozens of old whiskey bottles & gallon jugs of carlo rossi sangria. I’ll have to see if he still has any of them or if his wife finally made him get rid of them.

Don’t measure the extract, weigh it.  I use .75 oz./cup of water.

It might be worthwhile for someone with the clout not to have edits undone change the instructions on Homebrewopedia: Site Not Found

I’ll look into it.  I’m hella busy this week, so if I space it please remind me.

Thats exactly where I got it from lol, Palmer’s How to Brew.

That’s a well-known error in HTB. 1/2 cup DME in 1 pt of wort will have an SG of ~1.071, and 1/2 cup added to 1 pt water will have a gravity of ~1.059. Shooting for a 1.030-1.040 wort, you’d want to use about 1/2 cup per liter/quart.

Has there been a problem with someone reversing edits? I just did a quick rewrite on it.

Much better.  Hopefully it sticks

Thank you! I didn’t necessarily foresee a problem on this wiki, but after having edits constantly reversed on the one Wikipedia entry I ever edited – where I had expertise – I have since not bothered with wikis. The rewrite is a help and makes AHA that much more authoritative.

Got the final numbers for the Belgian. Went from 1.079 down to 1.016 so all went well. Tasted it and I think its going to be really nice after its in secondary for a month or so. I have a gallon wine jug for starters now so shouldn’t have a worry next time. Gonna need one shortly for a Pliny clone.
