Last night was my first attempt at All Grain brewing. The recipe I was using was Waynes Blue Moon clone. I was hitting my target temps throughout the mash and pre-boil gravity reading. We when I went to take a postboil reading before pitching the yeast my hydrometer read 1.045. My est post boil reading should have been 1.060 according to Beersmith. I followed the recipe to a T so I'm not sure where it went wrong.
Here is the recipe:
6 lbs 2 Row
1 lbs Rice Hull
4 lbs 12.8 oz White Wheat Malt
1 lbs 6.4 oz Oats, Flaked
2.00 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh - Boil 60
1.25 tsp Coriander Seed - Boil 10 min
.33 tsp Valensia Orange Peel - Boil 5 min
1 pack Safale US - 05
Mash In - 4.15 gallons @ 154 F for 75 min ***I added a little over half a gallon of 190 degrees water to hit my target temp of 154***
2nd Mash - 1.5 gallons @168 F for 10 mins. ***Actual mash temp was 160 F***
Fly Sparge with 4 gallons of water at 168 F.
My estimated pre-boil gravity reading 1.053. Actual was 1.055
