6.6lbs of DME
1 cup chocolate grain
1 cup crystal grain
1oz german tettnang hops
1oz german hallertau hops
1 pack Safbrew S-33
I steeped the grains in 2 gallon just below 170 degree for 15 minutes. Added dme, brought to boil and added tettnang hops 20 minutes later (I forgot about it at first) and added the hallertau 3 minutes to end of 60minute boil. Transferred wort to primary and added 3 gallons chilled spring water to aerate and left steeping bag in straining bag and squeezed gently the steeping bag. Let cool to 70 degree and pitched yeast. Sealed and airlocked and stuck in brew closet. OG was 1.020. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions on my technique? I'm not sure if I input everything in the brew calculator but my og seemed a bit low, calc estimated 1.040 range og. Thanks ahead of time!
