Hello guys,
We are using a one kettle BIAB system with circulation. The bag is a metal housing, but it is the same idea.
Just finished brewing a blonde, and got a low OG compared to expected OG.
We were supposed to get a 1061, and finished at 1050. Our system is a 30 litre, ending at 25. I think we ended at 24 litres total.
Recipe:
5.0 kg pilsner malt,
1.5 kg light wheat malt,
0.5 kg caramel malt
Any ideas to what might be wrong? We never went this far off from the recipe before. We were using a kit, so I am thinking it might be lower actual content (malt) than what it should be in the kit.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Edit: 64C mashing temp according to the recipe. Maybe it is too low?
