Alright this is the 3rd time making this beer without looking up my recipe ill explain what happened 1st 2 times my starting gravity was 1.072 and I used
7lbs LHBS made liquid extract
1lb 2row
1lb Carmel 40L
1lb carpils
Gravity on both was 1.072
3rd batch only variables that changed... moved to boiling in a keg so moved to full boil started at 6.5 gal water boiled it down to I would say 5.2 gal at most with was left after put the Wort into the fermenter. Changed the grains to
SAME 7lbs of LHBS made liquid extract
1lb of 2 row
1lb of victory malt
.5lb of Carmel 20L
.5lb of carpils
.5lb of Munich malt
Gravity was 1.047
I can see a little lost to not boiling down to the full 5 gallons and being about 5.2 gal total but that couldnt affect it that bad. Did I get bad extract?
