Hey guys,
I been brewing a few batches of all grain beer for a while now, and the problem is that I only got 1.05 og once. For some reason I just cant get a high enough OG. I just got a recirculation pump which helped me get the 1.05 OG. I batch sparge which i think can have a problem with that. If i recirculate the mash and when I batch sparge i just mix the **** out of it I thought I should be fine.
Heres my questions
1) can the amount of water you use for batch sparge effect your outcome on the OG?
2) How else can i get my OG up?
