unfortunatley i only hit 1.044. i think it was the crush, ive never used this lhbs before and the crush didnt look right. but on a plus side this thing is already bubbling like crazy.
my lhbs only had 8 lbs of 2 row so i subbed in 2 lbs of maris otter. also they didnt have medium crystal so i had to use some crystal 60.
what do you think?
i just kegged this the other day. i pulled a sample tonight and it doesn't have that fizzy yellow look to it. hopefully the color comes out more when the haze wears off.
it factors in the grain absorbtion for the mash. so you may be using close to 8 gallons of water but will ony get 6.5 gallons. just sparge till you get your pre-boil volume.
