So I have been brewing for a little over a year. I finally got a mash tun built and a new brew pot so I jumped into all grain a few weeks ago. My first batch (IPA) is still in the bottles carbing but pre bottling taste was very good.
My OG on my first batch was a little lower than the recipe said, but I know where I screwed up on that. So this time around it went in the opposite direction. Recipe said OG should be 1.054 and I ended up with 1.060. Here is the grain bill.
10 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 77.28 %
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 7.73 %
10.6 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 5.10 %
8.0 oz White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 3.86 %
7.2 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 3.48 %
5.3 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 2.55 %
Single Infusion, Full Body, Batch Sparge Step Time Name Description Step Temp
45 min Mash In Add 16.18 qt of water at 170.5 F 158.0 F
Batch Sparge Round 1: Sparge with 0.66 gal of 168.0 F water
Batch Sparge Round 2: Sparge with 3.15 gal of 168.0 F water
So I ended up with a little more than 5 gallons (Recipe was for 5 gallons), maybe 5.25 after the boil, and an OG of 1.060. Does that mean my efficiency was above normal. Im still very new to all grain so still figuring things out.
