Brewed my first BIAB batch today. It was northern brewers chocolate milk stout. Followed the directions as specified. It’s a 3 gallon batch. They say OG should be around 1.052. Mine came out around 1.066. Started with a little more than 4.5 gallons of water as they suggested and boiled down to the 3 gallons. Did their additional mash out bringing the mash up to a temp of 168 for 10 minutes which they say could be optional. I don’t think that 10 minutes would make that drastic of a difference though? Any suggestions for future batches to help prevent this are much appreciated.
