Let’s see if y’all can help me problem solve.
Just switched from my brewers edge mash and Boil to a 10 gallon Clawhammer Supply all in one 120v system.
When using my brewers edge system, I would use 1.25qt of water per pound of grain used in the mash. With this method I would almost always his my numbers and if not I’d be around 2 off at most.
I brewed my second batch today with the new claw hammer system which is a wider over all kettle setup. The first batch I was supposed to hit a 1.057 OG but hit a 1.047. With that batch I used the same 1.25qt method and observed it was tough mashing in appearing to not be enough water and lowering the mash temp drastically.
Today with my batch, I did a full volume mash starting with 7 gallons of water for 10.5 lbs of grain. Temps all set well this time and brew seemed smooth. OG was supposed to be 1.053 but ended up with 1.042…. Trying to problem solve at this point.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Or has anyone gone through this same issue after switching to a new system? Might just be a matter of figuring out what works best and having a few number errors until that happens.
