Well....I got some pretty bad effieciency once again. This time I was even using a Rubbermaid 5 gallon cooler for the Mash.
My bill was...
6 gallon boil - 5 gallon batch
4lb-Munich
2lb-Red Wheat
1lb-German Pils
1lb-CaraPils
0.5lb-CaraMunich
0.5lb-60L Crystal
1oz-willamette 50min.
.25-challenger 5min.
I started at 165f....added the grain and I hit about 156f. Let it sit 1 hour...only dropped to 153f over 1 hour. Did the vlorlof. And Batch sparged with 175f. til I got to a little under 6 gallons.
Once everything cooled down, I poured into my fermenter (about a 5 gallon batch) and took a reading....I only hit 1.039!!!
wtf did I do wrong?
