Over the last two weeks, I have brewed three times and I keep running in to the same issue: my target OG is consistently 10 points lower than the recipe claims. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to troubleshoot the problem, but ultimately, I cannot figure out what is wrong. It is baffling, because all of my other numbers are either perfect or high, not low.
Let's take yesterday's session for example, everything is looking great headed in to the boil:
So, I'm stuck and hoping there is something glaring that I am just missing. Like I said, it has happened three brews in a row now, all different (grist, yeast, style)
Let's take yesterday's session for example, everything is looking great headed in to the boil:
- Post-mash conversion = 96.3%, OG = 1.063
- Pre-boil/post-sparge = 90%, OG = 1.056, estimated = 1.044 (so more efficient than expected)
- Boil complete, OG = 1.061, estimated = 1.071 (drags brewhouse efficiency to 60%, estimated 70%)
