My first all grain batch was a hef described below but it turned out really diluted. This was a 1 gallon batch and I used about 1.5 gallons of water in the mash tun. After a 30 min protein rest at 130 I got the temp up to 158 and let the grains steep for another 60 min. From there a 60 min boil w/hops.
I am using a 2 gallon cooler as a mash tun with a stainless steel braided line as a filter. I moved the grain around with a spoon and even ran more hot water through the grain. The color and citrus flavors are good but it just seems really diluted. Any advice is appreciated.
19.2oz (60%) Wheat Malt
11.2oz (35%) Pilsner Malt
1.6oz (5%) Light Detrin Malt
.2oz Hallertau Hops
