&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve done two batches of the red ale (which I &lt;a href="http://www.nocalla.com/2016/10/27/brewing-an-irish-red-ale-ingredient-shopping/"&gt;wrote up&lt;/a&gt; one run-through of) and I&amp;rsquo;m pretty happy with the &lt;em&gt;flavour,&lt;/em&gt; but one thing that has vexed me is the &lt;em&gt;quantity&lt;/em&gt;. I ended up with about 17L of beer at the end of the last batch, where I was expecting something closer to 25L. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="hypothesis"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hypothesis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that if I play with the &lt;a href="https://www.brewersfriend.com/"&gt;Brewer&amp;rsquo;s Friend website&lt;/a&gt;, I can increase the final yield without altering the flavour too much. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
