If it's for a personal keg for casual consumption, yeah, go with it. But if I am working on repeatability, I have to get it in range. You should be able to deal with that in the mashing stage and circulate more to hit your target if the grain amounts are correct.
Boiling removes water, which increases the concentration of sugars from the malt. It won't do much if your mash step was inefficient, but it will definitely help if you used too much sparge water.
A longer boil will evaporate more water out of the wort and in turn leaves you with a higher OG. I recommend always taking a pre-boil gravity so you can predict if you'll need to boil longer to reach your desired OG since you'll have to delay your hop additions because the longer boil can cause increased IBUs.
A longer boil will also result in less wort going in to the fermenter so you might end up with less beer. Just happened to me the other day but I'd rather lose a couple of pints and have a better beer
@@spleshcheev I guess just keep checking every so often? Still pretty new to all grain brewing. Just did my sixth batch yesterday and my s.g. fell short.

Just drink your Beer….It doesn’t really matter.. Drink the entire 5 Batch pretty sure you won’t remember your ABV😅..
Put a little Everclear. You can make it as strong as you want without changing the flavor.
But then it's not 100% homemade beer

@@joshua-dv6qe you know technically it would be only 99 percent beer😂
Im happy with whatever it comes out at
Same. I'm not competing with anyone idc lol
@@dmiller4088 Exactly and I'm proud I made something that tastes nice
Do your math, do your wife and do-not f%&/ck up you beer is what I say.
What about adding sugar during boiling or fermentation?
You can up to 5-10% without much problems
make candy sugar. if you add sugar , depending your yeast will be suffer
Yes. Thats basically what DME is.
@@guizardaothat's not even true lol
I use corn sugar, boosts gravity, adds zero flavor
Can you not just add dextrose to the wort using a calculator?
Boiling, or if you don’t care how dry it gets, throw some dextrose in there.
Add a good dose of vodka. Your ABV will go through the roof🍻🍻

You're talking about boiling pre fermentation?
brew it for the taste and not the abv i dont even have a hydrometer to measure it as i simply do not care
Alquimista 100%
Or add corn sugar/ dextrose
Just put a pound of sugar in it and make wine
Boiling longer, causes more IBUs this is also unacceptable. 🧐
what about adding sugar?
Or mix vodka with zero alcohol beer
Gross lol
Can you and coke ?
I honestly hardly ever even record/check gravity anymore
Cold distillation
Add what?
Or you can add dextrose...
Prost. 🍻
As a German this sickens me
I work as a brewer for a german family and can 100% feel that 😂
Bet you drink from a brewery in your town that has been in operation for 200 years.
1939-1945 Sickens me personally
@@Rob-Angusnah
Or fortify it with some distilled alcohol haha
i know pour shot of vodka in it

It's beer shut up and drink it
Boiling has nothing to do with raising the ABV only thing that raised it is adding sugar, a.k.a. dry, malt extract, or just plain sugar

Pre boil and post boil gravity are different, so yes it does.
But what about the hops
Irrelevant to the topic at hand
.
What does gravity even mean
Its when an apple falls from a tree onto your head while sitting on a park bench
Boil longer???
Explain pls

How much longer should you boil?
A little bit!
@@sk8nchill52 lol ok
My guess would be until you're closer to the gravity you need

No shit ay
If you’re brewing for Abv you’re likely an alcoholic ngl😂😂
