Had some brew day challenges today...
Was making Yooper's oatmeal stout. Between miscalculating sparge water and a leaking hose clamp on my wort chiller, my OG was 1.046 instead of the predicted 1.052.
I've brewed enough batches to know not to freak, but I have four questions..
1. In Beersmith, what option does one pick for a single mash in followed by a single batch sparge?
2. How accurate are the sparge volumes and temps on Beersmith?
3. What impact will being .06 OG points off have on my beer. I am assuming I'll end up with a slightly thinner, slightly lower ABV beer. Is this correct.
4. Is it just me, or is an ice bath done right just as fast as a wort chiller?
Thanks to all on this forum for all your help.
