I took biermunchers Centennial Blonde recipe and divided it by 5 to get a 1.5 gallon batch from his original 5.5 batch. I mashed at 155 for one hour in one gallon of water. I then rinsed the grains with a half a gallon of water. I boiled for 60 minutes and did my hop additions as instructed. I cooled the wort to 70 degrees and took a hydrometer reading. The reading was 1.010. Thinking this had to be a mistake I did a test calibration with my hydrometer and it was accurate. All the grains are from More Beer and milled. It appears I was left with almost exactly a gallon of wort so I don’t think the water addition lowered it. This is my third brew and I’m having trouble figuring out what the issue here was.
