Hey folks: Poor efficiency this wknd. I was wondering if my grain choice was bad. The grains I used were 2lbs. Vienna and 1 lb. Munich, 2lbs specialty grains as well as 3lbs of DME. I was wondering if these grains(V&M) need multiple temperature and rest. I mashed @ 154F for 1 hour.
I was down 9 SG points, should have been 1.046 but was 1.037. The grain crush looked good(even asked the LBS), used it many times before. Used 2 hydrometers that were reading the same as well as reading water at 1.000. Water amts were 1.25 qts/1 lb of grain. Something went wrong!! Thanks charlie
