Hi everyone,
just did my first all grain brew (BIAB) method and my gravity was way off what I was expecting (about .30 points off towards the end of the boil) I added about 0.3 ounces of DME and that got me to where I was expecting.
It’s obvious that the grains I bought are not crushed finely enough to be super efficient but I think my other factor was water volume.
I used about 2.5 gallons of water for a 2.25 lb grain bill (trying a one gallon batch for this first all grain attempt).
i bought enough grain so that I have an additional 2.25lbs. With the grain being the same as what I currently tried, should I lower my water volume to maybe 1.5 gallons? I’m going to invest in a mill but until then, wanted to see what I can do with the remaining crushed grain so that I can more sugar out of them.
