I'm hoping to learn what went wrong with my first all-grain brew today.
I've done 30+ extract recipes but bit the bullet and bought an igloo mash/lauter tun.
The grain bill was 12.5 lbs. I mashed 3.5 galls at 146 degrees for 1 hour.
I did a batch sparge of 4 gallons at 152 degrees (went with the same 167 strike temp Beeralchemy said for mash)
My pre-boil gravity was expected to be 1.076 but came out to 1.040
After boil it was 1.044. My efficiency came out to 40% if my volumes are correct.
What the hell happened?
Thanks in advance
