First off thanks for all the great info in this forum! I'm trying to figure out my mash efficiency and why my OG was so off
The numbers:
I'm going for a Sierra clone for a session Holiday party
----
Yield: 5 gallons
10 lbs of 2 Row
.5 lbs of Crystal 10L
.5 lbs of CaraPils
First runnings 2 gallons - 1.016 at 100F
Seconds runnings 5.5 gallons - 1.027 at 100F
After the 60 minute boil I ended up with about 4.25 gallons - 1.010 at 75F ! WTF?
So I topped it off to 5 gallons of cold tap water (hope thats not bad). Do I have some crazy potent Pale Ale here? The targets are OG 1.053 - 1.061
I have no brewhouse efficiency yet but would like to use these numbers to start if possible. Thanks all!
