I've been trying to brew an IIPA for awhile now but can't hit my target OG. Today's 5-gallon example:
14 lb Pale two row
1 lb crystal 40L
1 lb Carapils
2 lb Dextrose
Infusion mash 60 min at 152, 1.5L/qt
Batch sparge at 170
According to Brewers Friend I should have been in the neighborhood of 1.090 but actually only hit 1.075. Low OGs like this have been a constant problem when trying to brew IIPAs.
Thoughts?
