I had to break up my mash and brew nights due to time constraints. Mashed last night and will brew tonight. I can tell already that I'm going to love brewing with all grains. I've brewed 7 exctract recipes already and now that I have done one mash, I'm starting to understand concepts and terms better then I was with extracts. But I still have some questions.
Now to the point.
Recipe:
10 lbs 2 -row (forgot the name already)
.5 lbs Biscuit Malt
.5 lbs Crystal 55L
Then Amarillo and Simcoe Hops
Cali Ale Yeast (liquid)
The recipe has an OG target of 1.057 at 71% efficiency
With some problems I hit 1.039. So overall what does this mean? I havn't figured out the efficiency yet (not sure how), but does this mean I extracted less sugars from the grain so I'll have a lower ABV?
If somone could help me grasp some of these concepts that would be great.
Sorry for the long post.
