I'm still doing BIAB while I build a HERMS setup.
Efficiency is a fairly constant 70%
Last week I did my first brew with an urn for the HLT and used Beersmith for water quantities.
While I didn't qutie hit my temp targets, all my volumes and target gravity was spot on.
A bock today, and nothing went right!!
Heated my kettle prior to mashing today but was still 5deg short(63deg)
Pre-boil was expected to be 1.066, but, was only 1.052. This is about 55%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So WTF went wrong?? Apart from not stirring regularly I didn't do anything out of the ordinary
Beersmith doughs in at around 2.6:1, so, 22.5L for 8.7kg grain.
Any thoughts??
