ok... not sure what we are doing wrong, if it is even us... But recently our gravs have been coming out low... i mean a point or two... LOW...
Just did the Raging ***** clone again... something like 34lbs grain total for a 10 gal batch... it came out at 1.060... almost two points low... Wiw did another batch od a similar grain bill same day and I added 2lbs of DME to the boil and the grav was 1.070... still low compared to what it was suppose to be and the DME helped... Here is what we are doing
mashing those two brews at 150 with calibrated therms... so we are close
mashing out and raising bed to 170 ish... Mashing for about an hour
we accumluate about 14 gals, then boil... we get about 11-12 gal left, etc.... everything seems right... what else am I missing... Could it be the grain? US... The economy? Should I not have sex the night before.... WHAT??
Thanx for any advice you can offer
