Hey all,
So far, I have brewed 4 batches on my setup. One hit the OG right on the nose. The other 3 have been over by 5-7 points! What gives? My setup is a rubbermaid 10gal round cooler. First, I vorlauf like usual. Then, I stir every 15-20 minutes when I check that my temps are consistent, run off until the thing is empty, do a 1-batch sparge, run that all off and stir again until I reach boil volume. I use a sp-10 for the boil and boil for 60 minutes, per the usual. Is it possible that my crush is REALLY good? What other factors might be causing me to overshoot my OG on a consistent basis?
Thanks!
