I brewed a beer last night.
2 ROW 5 lbs
CARAPILS 4 lbs
CRYSTAL 20L 4.5 lbs
STRIKE 5.1 GAL 152-153˚F
SPARGE 3.3 GAL HEATED TO 181˚F POSSIBLY TOO HOT?
With calculations for 75% efficiency I was expecting an Original Gravity of 1.071. However, I got 1.051.
The grains mashed for 10 minutes after the hour because I forgot to heat the sparge water (I know, stupid). Would this have anything to do with it?
I cannot figure out why else it would be that low. Any feedback appreciated!
