I did my second all grain batch yesterday. I did 5 gallon recipe of bee cave breweries house ale by edwort.
7.2 lb 2 row
1.8 lb Vienna malt
.45 C10
Estimated OG of 1.052 with estimated efficiency of 75%
I hit 70% efficiency and, I was almost spot on with my volumes. My measured OG was 1.040. I was a full 10 points off my target gravity. I maybe had a little wort left in the brew pot but that wouldn't make much difference. I don't understand why my I am missing the OG when my efficiency is close to what I projected. Is beersmith off? I followed edworts recipe, using the same technique and beer software. Where am I going wrong?
