I keep coming up short on my original gravity. and don't know why. I built my brew station last month, well I'll just tell you about it. I started with a table at 8' long with burners at each end re plumbed my natural gas in the garage to accommodate. Then chased down two 15 gallon kegs and converted one to a boiler and one for strike water. Bought two coolers one 70 Qt. and one 40 Qt.
and install stainless false bottoms in both. Found a 12volt food grade pump on line and purchased braided 1/2" hose and used cam locks for QD. Built my keezer and plan to install 6 faucets (don't have my manifold yet) My first batch the temp fell off about 4 degrees and I didn't have the sparg speed dialed in so I sparged too quick and m og was 20 points low my second batch I mashed and temp was too high by 5 degrees and I think that's why I didn't get sugar conversion as my og was 10 points low.
Said all that to ask this, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
