This was my first all grain brew. Used one of those igloo cooler conversion mashtuns. Held the grains at between 140-150 for 75 minutes. Poured 168 degree water over the grain bed as it drained into the kettle. Brought to a boil for a hour, chilled, and transferred to bucket.
Recipe was for an imperial stout. 13lbs 2-row, 5.75 lbs other grains
Beersmith called for 6.4 gallons of water at mash in, 2.8 gal for sparging.
My gravity was supposed to be 1.104, but I'm reading 1.04. How could this have happened? Any suggestions for how to salvage it?
Should I just pitch and see how it goes? Can it sit overnight till I can pick up some DME to beef it up and then pitch?
