my effiency is saying im only getting 51%!
preboil reading is 1.035.
post boil i hit my target og at 1.063.
this has happened to times in a row.
i use a 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler.
recipe was
10.5# pale ale
1# wheat
1# crystal 120
.35# chocolate
.35# carafa.
i was going for a black ipa.
mash at 150 degrees for 65 minutes.
i had 2 gallons mash water
and 5 of sparge water
took reading from 7 gallons wort at 75 degrees.
local brew shop told me no way im getting that low % effiency with a rubbermaid cooler.
so why is my pre boil reading so off yet im hitting my target og?
