Made my first AG yesterday. EdWort's Kolsch with additional grain to correct for my expected less than optimal efficiency.
7.0 increased to 8.8 lbs of 2 row pilsner malt
8.8 x 36 = 316.8
2.5 increased to 3.2 lbs of wheat malt
3.2 x 39 = 124.8
316.8 + 124.8 = 441.6
441.6/5.25 gallons = 84.11
actual OG was 1.051
51/84.11 = 60%
Does that look correct?
Just for info:
I used a 10 gallon rubbermaid water cooler with the braided line kit.
I used 3.75 gallons of strike water at 185. I let the water sit for 5 minutes to heat cooler before proceeding. Water was 175 when I added grain and doughed in.
at 5 minutes I opened up restirred and added a little tap water to drop temperature. It was 160 and about 1.5 cups brought it down to 154.
at 60 minutes I collected 2 qts, added to top and then drained into boil pot. I collected 2.5 gallons so figured I needed another 4.5 gallons of sparge water to total 6.5 for boil. All sparge waster was done at 180
Stirred in 2.0 gallons, waited 10 minutes, drained and added 2 qts and collected into boil pot.
Stirred in remaining 2.5 gallons, waited 10 minutes, drained and added 2 qts and collected into boil pot.
OG at that point for 6.5 gallons was 1.044 at 60
