Hi all,
I've done three batches on my 120V 10.5g Anvil, all BIAB. I keep falling short on OG. I'll use my most recent brew (here) as an example. Expected OG 1.053; actual 1.037. A few notes: 60 minute mash at 149-151. I did not sparge. I recirculated the mash with a pump. I gave the mash a gentle stir every 15 minutes or so. I didn't check pre-boil OG. None of the boils on the three batches have been very vigorous at all. I thought that might be the issue but then I came across this Brulosophy exbeeriment that found little difference between boil / no boil OG and a barely statistical difference in the triangle test. What the heck am I doing wrong?
