Hello all, Just completed my first BIAB brew this past weekend, but got a low mash efficiency (54.9%). I ended up adjusting the OG with DME, but tracing my steps, I believe the cause of the low efficiency was the milling of the grain. I have attached a picture of the milled grain, if anyone has an idea if that could've been the cause.
Recipe:
OG 1.045
7.6L (2 gallon) batch
2 lb of Weyermann Pale Wheat Malt
2 lb of Briess Pilsner Malt
15 g Hallertau hops @ 60 min
Mash:
60 min @ 152 F
5.5 L Water
Batch sparge 4 L of water
2 gallons into the fermenter, with OG 1.046 with the adjustment with DME.
