Turned out to be good news/bad news!
I was aiming for a high ABV RIS and ended up with an OG of 1.053. Far from my goal of >1.09
The bad news is that I was about 43% efficiency and missed my OG by a LOT. The good news, I guess, is that I made a stout.
I used the same crush as always and usually get around 70%. I think I'll crush finer next time.
I also over shot my pre-boil by about a gallon due to the wrong profile. That's corrected already.
I could try and course correct with DME I guess but I think I'm going to ride this "as is" and see how it turns out. Just hope I didn't over pitch the yeast. It should be ready to drink sooner now!
