I have done a ton of reading, searching, etc, however I'm not really finding a direct answer to my question.
As an example, my IPA came out a little "thinner" than I'd like.
The grain bill (5 gallons) was:
12 lbs Pale 2 Row
1 lb Carapils
1 lb Crystal 60
Mashed at 153*F for ~60 minutes.
I did not lose any temp and hit my efficiency right around 75%.
Any help would be appreciated. I thought between the Crystal and the Carapils, I would get some decent body and head retention. The head retention is definitely there, however the body is not where I'd like it to be.
Thanks!
