Yeah, thats right, I nailed a session APA with an origional gravity of 1.020. How could I have gone this wrong with the recipe of this:
8lbs 2 Row
10oz Cara 40
6oz Carapils
Hit a low temp of 134 after cooling with 2 liters of 60 degree water after getting temps of 160 when I doughed in. Attempted w/ about 2 gallons of average 180 degree water to raise the temps but feel that the temps did not rise above 148 degrees. Final OG was 1.020, where could I have gone wrong and where can I fix this to make sure I'm hitting my target gravities. I used round about 11 gallons of water total. I batch sparge in a cooler and have hit or miss batches in the past through my 10 months of AG brewing?
