I just made my wheat beer and tried to do a mash so as to get some more flavors from the 3# of grain that i was originally going to steep. used the cloth bags in the strainer that i bought and did the step mash 120 for a time, 150 for a time and 158 for another amount of time. Then strained over a pot and washed with 170 degree water.
Promash said with just my extract i should have had a SG of 1.050. So i added my grains and changed the efficency rating in there to 74 and DING.....turns out doing it half assed my SG was 1.066 so that turns out to be 74% efficiency! not bad for a first timer with less than normal equipment.
