Hello all
I have been brewing for about a year, extract only until this week. I did my first BIAB recipe, 3 gallon batch consisting of
-4lb rahr 2-row malt
-4oz briess caramel 60L
-4oz biscuit malt
0.5 oz citra at 60 min.
I put all of my grains in my bag, lowered in kettle and kept at 156 for 1 hr in 1.5 gallons of water, removed grains, let drip for about 15 min. I then added 2 gallons of water and boiled for 60 min, ended up with just under 3 gallons. I took a hydrometer reading while at 90 degrees (using kveik yeast) and found it to be about 1.01 before correcting for temp. Can anyone explain to me where i went wrong? it appears to be fermenting despite the low s.g. i got, so maybe my hydrometer isnt calibrated correctly?
