So I completed my first all grain 10 gallon batch yesterday. I used 18 lbs of 2 row and 2 pounds of 40l crystal. My mash temp was higher than I wanted. I was shooting for 153ish and actually ended up at 158. I used 6.5 gallons . I left it for 60 mins then sparged with 10 gallons of water. I didn't measure the gravity until after boil pre-pitching. And my gravity was about 1.031. That seems extremely low to me. I pitched two separate starters into two different buckets each with about 5.5 gallons in each. I actually didnt have a target gravity which I understand is stupid. Just wondering did I use too much sparge water? Where did I go wrong?
