Hi all, so I made a RIS and mashed at 149 but only for 1 hr, then batch sparged. My expected OG was 1.109, my actual was 1.070. My thoughts were
1) mash longer for better conversion (no iodine strips yet)
2) double crush my grains for that big of a beer
3) double sparge
4) buy a new hydrometer and make sure it's calibrated.
Any other thoughts?
