My first two AGs have been what I perceive to be low efficency brews, on the order of about 60%. The one I did today came out to be 58%.
So, that being said, what sort of efficency is normal?
Just so you now what I did this time around:
12 lbs of British 2 row plus about 2.5 lbs of speciality grains.
Mash in with 4.5 gallons of water and hold at 152 for 60 minutes.
Added pH stabilizer to mash (5-star chemicals)
Batch sparged with 3.5 gallons of 170 water
used iodone to check for conversion completion.
Target OG was 1.082, acheived OG was 1.068. A bit of a difference there.
Is this normal? Or am I missing something fundamental?
Thanks
