I use brewmate and have followed grain bill on recipe to achieve OG of 1050 and have only reached 1030. Wanting to ask where I have gone wrong...?
I use a 29 L pot....get 25L water up to 70 deg, turn heat off and place bag in and mix grains well. Place lid onto pot and wrap in blankets and sit for 60 min....I then drain off this liquid into a cube ( got 16Litres). I then add 9 L of water to the pot and mix grain a second time and rest for 30 min....I then take bag out and add the cube liquid and follow the boil process.
My previous attempts doing the above gets my OG almost spot on. The only difference today is that I trying an Aussie wheat rather than a pale or lager.
Am I meant to take gravity reading during the 1st stage of the process to ensure I am maximising sugars from the wheat?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
