Ok, so this weekend we decided to brew three batches. My first batch was a Belgian triple and I was a little low for my og but that's ok I think it was at 1.67 and I was at 1.57 not a big deal I added a extra pound of sugar no big.
My stout came in practically dead on and the. The third batch... What the heck went wrong. I was brewing an ipa and was using left over grains. Just experimenting. Ended up using half American Pilsner and half pale 2 row for vase grain. I was supposed to come in at 1.066 and well I only got to 1.04 not sure how I got so far off. I did a single infusion at 154 degree. Since I used Pilsner should I have done a 3 step. 120 for 20 min 148 for 20 mins and then 156 for 29 mins. Man I was so disapointed.
