So I just finished a kettle sour I started four days ago. When I started I had 7.5 gal. OG 1.044. I ended with 6 gal. OG 1.027.
My question is this: Why is my OG so low after my boil today?
If I am an idiot ,and there is an obvious answer, then I need it. This is only my second time making this kind of beer. Here was my process:
Mash 60 min 75% pale 25% white wheat
Boil 10 min
Chill to 100F
Pitch 2 Goodbelly shots in to 7.5 gal wort OG: 1.044
Kept in water bath at 95 for 3 days, pH dropped from 5.8 to 3.9 during this time
Let it go for 1 more day pH dropped to 3.8
Boil for 60 min
Chill to 80F (it's 90F here I couldn't get any cooler)
6 gal wort into fermenter OG: 1.027, pitched 2000ml starter of S-04
Let me know if you want more details.
