Yesterday I did my first double batch in my newly constructed Electric BIAB setup. I put through a Fat Yak.
By the calculators on Brewers Friend I had a 86.67% conversion factor. Just being new to this is that good, bad or indifferent.
I recirculated,at 68.9C then ramped to 75.6c then sparged with 5 litres of 75.6c.
My gravity after this was 1.040. Unfortunately due to my concentration on the new toy I forgot to take the OG before pitching. After the boil and hop additions I should expect my OG to be higher than 1.040 shouldn't I?
Thanks in advance for any help.
