Not sure what I did wrong, but my 5 gallon AG wit came in a whopping 1.036 post boil gravity. Any thoughts on this process?
4.5 Lbs Pale Malt (Crushed by Midwest)
4.5 Lbs Flaked Wheat
Mashed at 153 for 75 minutes and sparged (10 minute soaks) with 170-175 dgree water twice. Recirculated...blah blah blah... to get about 6.5 gallons.
Two things occur to me:
1) I ended with a 60-minute post boil volume of about 5.5 gallons+ (too diluted)?
B) The grain bill is just light?
4) I had a bad day?
I don't mind a session brew like a wit. Good summer time beer. But, is this because of my recipe/volume (things I can adjust) or are you scratching your heads as well?
Thanks.
