Thanks for your advice metalchef1,
I brew with eBIAB Using a Hosehead brew controller
my grains totalled to 18.3 kg (40pounds) 15 kg of that was Marris otter. I did a (68C (154F) recirculating mash for 75 min and a mash out at 75C ( 167F) and also did a batch sparge in another pot where I placed the grain bag into 80C (176F) water for 20 min. Then did a 120min boil. I never rely on just one temperature device so after stirring my mash every 15 min or so I use a thermapen to keep things honest. The pre boil Gravity was 1.063 keeping in mind I added 1kg (2.2 pound) of lactose and 2 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder to the boil which are both adjuncts so unfermentable. These I know will add to my my gravity. Which was as stated earlier 1.094. Can you MC1 or anyone else see anything that could cause the issues I'm having?
