I picked up the grain for a dead guy clone at NB today, while there I saw a limited edition Dundalk Irish heavy extract kit. I asked if they had an AG version, they dont, but they used to, the guy was nice enough to pull up the AG recipe. so I gather all the grain for a 5 gal batch. I brew it after breaking a thermometer in the strike water and starting over. I got a little heavy on the water as this is my 3rd ag batch.
I started with 16 qts of strike and hit my 150 temp for an hour. I sparged with 2 gallons and then freaked out and added more sparge because I only got about 5 or 5,25 gallons of water in the pot. It turns out I shouldnt have added more water and shouldve been patient. I ended up with 7 gallons pre boil. i boiled for around 80 minutes and wound up with 1.065 wort at 5.5 gallons. the recipe calls for 5 gallons @ 1.062
Im not going to complain but I was curious if anyone knows what mash efficiency the NB instructions are calculated at since they are very vague.:rockin:
