Hey Everyone,
I've done 6 extract brews up until this point and tried my first BIAB this past weekend, however I believe I used too much strike water due to the low OG and extra wort at the end. Reading the instructions, it said to go with 1 gallon of water for every pound of grain. So this is what I came
Brooklyn Home Brew Oatmeal Stout (1 gallon)
Grain weight: 2.3lbs grain, 1 oz hops
60 min boil
So I used 2 1/4 gallons for my strike water. It yielded about a 1 1/3 gallons with an OG of 1.034. Did I just use too much water?
Thanks for any help.
