Well about 15 batches into my AG adventure I finally had a nice hiccup.
Ordered up AHS' Weihephsteiner clone and decided to add in 1/2lb Crystal 10L into the recipe as well. Mashed at 150* for 60min per the recipe and collected 7.25gallons. Boiled it down to 5.5g and ended up with a final gravity of 1.039 Per the instructions it should have been 1.053, and thats not including the 10L i added.
Not sure what went wrong as I usually average about 70-73% effeciency, and i'm sure this recipe was calculated for somewhere in that range. Also was my first time brewing a wheat beer. Also was the first time in a long time i've done a store bought kit.
Sucks
