I narrowed it down to a few things, probably should of took some more SG readings as I went but here it is.
I made a black IPA today that had roughly a 13lb grain bill.
Strike water was at 167f 4 Gal
Mash was 45m at 152-155f
Sparge water 4.5g at 170f
Double batch sparge
Tried an iodine test but being a black IPA was a touch hard to tell.
Boil size was about 6.5gal
Forgot to get the preboil SG
OG was 1.045 , was aiming for 1.065 which put me around 40% efficiency.
My guess is I should of let the mash go the full 60mins or longer. Any thoughts on this?
I'll just take my lumps and have a 4% IPA but was curious.
