Hey Guys and Girls,
Today I did my extract Black IPA. It was my first 10 liter boil and what I did was soaked my grains in 4 liters of water and while they were soaking I poured 6 liters into my brew pot and dumped all the LME into it just before my grains were done the 30 minute soak.
Should I have done this or should I have have just added the remaining water to the brew pot after the soak was finished, then add the LME before the boil started.
I did notice that I was short on the OG compared to what Brewers Friend Calculator told me I should have had.
Could this be why?
Thanks
