Hi, I brewed a Saison yesterday and my target OG was 1.060 (Grain bill was 12.2# for a 6 gallon batch + 1 pound of table suggar), but I ended up at 1.080. I am not sure how that happened actually. I was .5 gallon off at the end, but I would not think that would equal a 20 point jump. I have...

Hi, The homebrew store milled my grains even though I told them not to mill them. This is the second time this has happened. Can I run them through my barley crusher? I ask this because I always get better efficiency when I use my own crusher. Thanks.
