Tonight was only my second batch and first all grain. Stainless braid on Gott cooler was perfect.
Wort was 1.040 at 140° and 6.2 gallons. Pro mash had told me to add 1.3 lbs of DME to hit target of 1.052. at the end of boil and cool down I hit 1.070. Holy cow, too high. Must of boiled off too much
I added extra O2 to help start. The wort tasted good, better than the first batch in which I burnt the LME.
I just received fresh cascade hops from Yakima. This will be the highest gravity Mirror Pond Clone ever.
Any advice on targeting the boil off? Maybe I should always add water at the end.
