Anyone ever have a period where suddenly you can't hit your gravity numbers?
I'm consistently in the 75% range and then suddenly my last two brews have been lousy. I'm hitting my volumes, but my extraction has just been terrible. Last brew was 58% and today's was 51%.
Again, i know nothing has changed with my volumes, temperature is accurate (i have a thermapen). I feel like i'm stirring the grain into the water well enough to not get dough balls. Grain comes from the same place as always.
Maybe i'm not paying enough attention, i don't know. I'm at a loss to figure out why it's suddenly so hard to hit my pre boil gravity numbers.
any thoughts? i'm lost here
