Brewed my first all grain wheat beer last night and my OG came out terribly low at 1.031
4 pounds Malted Wheat
4 pounds Pilsner Malt
.5 pounds Aromatic Malt
.5 pounds Munich Malt
Mashed for an hour at 152 and used all proper volumes. I knew wheat presents an issue with mashes, so I used a pound of rice hulls. BeerSmith calculated my efficient to 49% I have been getting 70-78% on my setup.
Thoughts? In a panic and not wanting a 3.7% German Heff I pitched 3/4 pound sugar into primary for a boost.
