I'm celebrating because I not only achieved my goal of finally meeting the expected OG, but surpassing it. This is my 3rd brew, a Schneider Aventinus mini-mash clone, and I got an OG of 1.076, and it said to shoot for 1.074. I didn't increase any temps, or time, at least not intentionally. I think I just sparged it more efficiently this time. My first brew I was definitely timid about what I did. I love how this is a learning process, but hate that you need a couple of months before you can tweak something you do to see the effect. I hope this turns out well, because it's a fantastic beer.
