Last night brewed up a batch of Bourbon Vanilla Porter with the following grain bill.....
9.5lbs Pale Maris Otter
1.0lbs English chocolate malt
1.0lbs Crystal 120L
2.5lbs Munich malt 10L
1.5lbs Brown malt
8oz Crystal 40L
Target OG was 1.065. I ended up with an OG of 1.085. Mash in was supposed to be 156 but initially ended up at 165 for a few minutes until I could bring it down to about 154 for the 45 mins in the mash tun.
How did my OG end up being so far off?
