I have no idea what happened...making a DIPA and I'm shocked by the OG.
11# 2-row
12 oz C-70/80
8oz flaked wheat
BIAB, mashed with about 6 gal at 150' Let it mash about 10 hours will at work. recirc pump and digital temp control. Came home, lifted the basket and sparged with another 2ish gallons until 6.5 gal wort collected. Brewed it up and checked gravity when it went to the fermenter. 5 gallons at 1.034??? It should have been in the upper 1.060-1.070 range.
I'm thinking the paper scale strip inside the hydrometer had slipped so I grab my refractometer...same same...test hydrometer with plain water...1.000
well, I was going to add some DME but I had this can of old LME from a friend, so I used that. It only bumped my OG to 1.047 It was marked best by 2014 and was pretty dark for a light lager.
PH too high? I've never checked my PH until now. Mash PH was 6.5 about 20 minutes in. Ending PH was 5.8 before mash out. House tap water with water softener.
Thinking to skip the dry hoping on this one since gravity is so low.
1.2oz magnum @ 60 min
1.0oz magnum @5 min
1.0oz hallertau @ 5 min
Dry hop is this but I think I should just pass since ABV is gonna be so low.
.67oz magnum
.67oz hallertau
.76 oz CTZ
