First all grain & my OSG is low.
I got a kit from Austin homebrew for Sierra Nevada Torpedo. 5 gal batch
I had some temp issues getting the Mash temp down to start with after I mixed in the grain. The worksheet I used told me with a 73F grain temp to mash in 164F to get a mash temp of 150F
Well it was hot about 160F after mixed in and I added ice to get it down to 150 but it took me about 10 min or more to get it down. Mash was 60 min.
Boil was 60 min
Really screwed up and forgot to take a OSG reading after chiller cool down and pitched my 2 vials of white labs calif ale yeast WLpoo1 at 79F ( i took yeast out of the fridg at 9am and it was now 9 pm when pitched).
This AM i remembered i had not taken a OSG so I took one and got 1.050
the work sheet that came with the kit said OSG should be 1.072
I don't see any yeast activity yet but the work sheet says it should start in 12 - 36 hrs.
Why would my osg be so far off and is there anything I should do at this point?
Thanks
