Hi All
I been brewing for 3 months - 12 brews so far. I recently purchased a Grainfather 30 l. I quickly ditched BeerSmith - no reliable profile and using my own calculation and Beer Calc.
I have a fundamental problem - I can not at all predict the OG of my brews.
Today i did the following "stout clone" recipe:
Maris Otter 4,9 kg
Cara Hel 0,4 kg
Cara Munic 0,9 kg
Flaked Oats 0,4 kg
Chokolate malt 0,4 kg
Carafa II 0,40 kg
Grain bill total = 7,40 kg.
Mash info:
Mash water = 24 liter
Sparge = 4 liters
Preboil = 23 liter
According to Beercalc:
Estimated Pre Boil OG =1.073
I get the reading 1.060 (corrected for temperature)
Final OG i get to = 1.062.
I'm confused
