ok experts, I just attempted my first brew in a bag.
10 gal pot
4lb 12.8oz Great western two row
5lb 13.8oz white wheat malt
4.4oz crystal 40 malt
I started with 7.75 gal of water and ended with 7 gal.
Beer smith 2 indicated that I should be able to get pre boil gravity of 1.046. My readings at 148 deg was 1.025 (adjusted I come up with 1.035).
That seems like I am a long ways off. I have spare grain and a little DME. Should I be attempting to jack this up before my boil?
Is this how you calculate brew house efficiency? Cause if it is it would seem my brew house needs a ton of work.
