Hello,
I brewed an IIPA yesterday all-grain, 20gal boil to 16gal chilled with the following grain bill and adjuncts: 40lbs 2 row, 1lb Crystal 15L, 1lbCaraPils & 2lbs blond candi sugar. Strike temp was 168 using 11% heat loss taking it down to 152. Saach rest 60min followed by continuous sparing at 170 for 10min and then rinsed the bed at 180. I had to mess something up because after knock-out my OG was 1.060! Including the sugar this puts my efficiency at 53%. Any tips on how I can get this to 75%? What did I do wrong or what am I missing? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
P.S I guess it's no longer Imperial... Sad day
