A.G. 2 Lbs. Of 2 row, .25 Lb of 40L, .25 of 120L, .1875 of 10L. I steeped this for 25 minutes. I guess my question about the 1.040 is. I thought 1.040 is not a good O.G. Number. I thought lower is better?
Doing 1 gal. A.G.. Mash for an hour? How about a certain temp? I steeped the grains at 162°.fot 25 minutes. Going for a red ale. Co-worker wanted me to brew for him. Hw wants a high A.B.V.
USAFSooner said:Steeping at 162F is too high. You want to be in the low 150's. My AG mashes are usually around 152-152F. Also, 25 minutes is not long enough time for conversion for an all grain batch.
