Just doing my 1st AG. Nice n simple small batch (11litre) in 15L pot
Steeped:
1.5kg Pale malt
80Gram Chocolate
200G Crystal 60L
150G Biscuit
in 9L water @ 70C finished at 65C after 60 min
brief sparge and squeeze in 2L water @75C
11L total boil volume
The prob is according to ianh's spreadsheet and brewmate I should have about 1037OG. Instead I have 1042 @ 55C which apparently gives 1055OG cooled.
How the hell is it so far out? Grind was very fine as I am BIABing but brewmate says I need 100% efficiency to achieve this OG
Was supposed to be about 4%-4.5%ABV. Do I just add some water after boil to adjust?
Any ideas?
