So I was brewing up my second batch of a galaxy APA recipe I have been working on, but this time round my gravity was crazy low whilst sparging. I only had 19 litres in the boiler when my run off gravity was at 1010. Very strange when 5 kg of grain went into the tun. I would normal expect 1010 when i'm up around 25-27L.
The really depressing part was. That when I tastesd the spent grain it was still sweet.
Since there was no dme in sight I just carried on as usual at the lesser volume. I hit the alc% I was after. But my ibu's went through the roof. All good though. It's still tasting alright, just not what I planned.
Any theories on the drop of gravity and sweet spent grain? Is it as simple as my grain was not milled fine enough?
