I would probably say I don't stir enough. I only stir enough to make sure its mixed well but can, not stirring like a mad man, cause me to have 60% vs 80% efficiency?
What is PPG? I cannot remember. I am measuring with a hydrometer and I have a couple of different ones so I know there is nothing wrong with the hydrometer and yes, I am adjusting for temperature. And yes it took me at least an hour to sparge.
My mash only drops 2 degrees when I mash. I had also heated up some extra water just in case and when I added it, it did not raise the temperature, so at that point I did not want to add any more water and mess up my water/grain ratio. My mill is set to the credit card gap which is 30 I think. I...
I agree that the low temp hurt me but I went and changed my OG in Beersmith to see what I would've had to get to get at least 80% efficiency and I would've had to get 1.070-1.080. I don't understand that
I brewed this morning and used some guidance that y'all gave me. first off it was a 12 pound grain bill with half a pound of rice hulls. I heated 4 gallons of MASH water. This was a pumpkin ale and I was suppose to mash at 152. I did not hit 152 but I hit 144. I normally hit my temperature but...
