Tried out my first PM tonight. Everything went really well all the way through, I thought. I used a 3G "Bubba Keg" w/ spout as a mash tun and it worked well. Once I had my mash temp at 154 it only dropped to 149-150 after an hour.
Like I said everythinge went smooth all the way through. Then I took my gravity reading and it came out at 1.030!!
I've been reviewing it and it looks like I mixed up a bit and came up almost a lb short on my LME addition. However I ran that through BeerSmith and that should only account for a couple gravity pts.
Here is the recipe I used. It's basically a PM of BM's Nierra Sevada, but I had to fiddle with hops because of my low AA Perle.
