hello everyone
This recipe is widely available on the web and I want to use it to brew.
I have a couple of questions;
* the recipe states primary fermentation, secondary fermentation & additional fermentation (see red highlight below). How does the additional fermentation 21 come into play?.
* the recipe says a boil of 30.29 litres for 60mins for a 23 litre batch size (see red highlight). Why that size boil? I doesn't seem right that you would lose 7.29 litres in that time.
Thanks for your insights.
