Hey everyone, I've been lurking for months and learning a lot, but I have question. My last brew's wort SG came out to 1.042, but my recipe through beersmith expected 1.056. I also had too much wort post boil was looking for 5.5gal, but had closer to 6.5 or 7. I hit the beersmith mash and sparge temps and volumes. This makes me think the grain crush was inadequate. I think this because it seems logical : if not crushed properly, efficiency suffers and, presumably, absorption as well. What do you guys think? Are there other possible culprits here?
