Brewed a 14 litre batch yesterday expecting OG of 1052 but got 1044. Used 2.5kg Vienna and 0.8kg pale. I realised during the sparge I read the wrong number off the software and used water at 78 deg C instead of 88 deg C. (ie a difference of 18 deg F for those of you deseprately trying to convert) I'm using a water to grain ratio of 3. Boil was for one hour
By screwing up the sparge water temperature, could this be the man reason for the low OG?
