I had just finished converting a 5 gallon cooler to a mash tun. All worked out very well for my first batch, only there was a slight problem with getting all the sugar out of my grain.
I mashed 4 gallons at 145F for 60 min. Drained and sparged around 3 gallons at 160F for 30 min.
Grain bill was:
6 lbs 2-row
6lbs pale
1lb munich
1/2 lb crystal
1 lb pils
I only ended up with 1.04 gravity. What have I done wrong to get so little gravity from so much grain.
Any input would be appreciated.
thanks!
