I am a big fan of Dead Guy and Arrogant Bastard. I've got both kegged/on-tap right now.Mixing
the two is amazing, the maltiness of DG with the Chinook bite in AB. This left me to consider

Posted in thread: What effect does mash-out have for BIAB? on 05-08-2013 at 07:41 PM
Mashing out gives me about 3-5 solid gravity points as a general rule. It's worth it for me,ha,
I forgot to mash out this weekend and I was exactly 3 pts off my target OG

great efficiency (75+)...but, because of that, I have had higher OG's, and much higher
attenuation (85-87...

If your gravity measurements were accurate (temp adjusted, no top off water, hydrometer is
calibrated, etc.), then you're right, 87% attenuation. Possible causes could be fermentation
temps used, real...

pacman, at 60 degrees.My OG was 1.060; my FG was 1.008....Pacman has an attenuation range of
77%; I did the mat...
