So.
I was attempting to draw up my own recipe for an imperial stout on the spot.
Entered into beersmith, looked like it should run at about 1.105 initial gravity
(yep, I know pretty juicy)
Anyway, I just cooled the wort and had a cooled sample that I measured the gravity and it came out at 1.065. I did a BITB/Partial mash. Here's the recipe, was my efficiency that piss poor?
(note: this is a 3 gallon test batch!)
*This is the grain bill*
7lbs Maris Otter
3lbs Liquid Pale Extract
.5 lb chocolate Malt
.5 lb roasted barley
.25 lb crystal
My starting boil volume and my final boil volume were almost exact, I really can't figure out why this is measuring so low. I have it entered in beersmith with a 65% eff. rating.
