Just brewed my 1st robobrew batch and my OG numbers were way off. Maybe someone can give me some advice on why.
crushed at 050.
3lbs wheat
1lb 2-row
1lb golden promise
4oz cara-10
4oz carafoam
4oz rice hulls
Mashed at 150* using recirculation pump for 60min. in 3 gallons of water(actually 2 because the 1st gallon is below the grain bed).
Hand sparged 2 gallons @170*
started boil with 4.5gall. and ended w/3.2gall.
According to brewer's friend I was only at 50%eff. My target was 4 gallons to fermenter at 1.050 but was 1.030 at 3.2gall.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
