does anyone know how much og you lose per gal of top off water?
I started with 3 gals for mash on :
1lb honey malt
1lb biscuit
10lbs 2 row pale malt
3 gals batch sparge
boil for 1 hr and only end up with 3 gals of 1.070 wort a
added 2 gals top water to bring back to 5 gals
the og dropped to 1.044
What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to stay up close to the 5 gal range upon completion and still have a higher og. Guess I need a bigger pot, huh?
