I calibrated my hydrometer (but will check it again), so it's likely not that.
Target was 1052, but I got 1041.
This is the second time with this beer, with just some tweaks; last time I was just a tad over.
The efficiency on this calculates to 56% .. this is my 7th AG batch and I've not had a result lower than 67%.
Right now, I'm sitting here thinking that something got weighed wrong at my LHBS (they weigh out and crush everything per my BrewersFriend print outs, by batch).
1) I noted to myself that for 1.6 qts/pound ratio it seemed "soupy"
2) I had to shut off my sparge early or would have over-shot pre-boil volume
What could I have done in my process to miss this big and have such low efficiency? I'm using the same process as the six previous batches and have hit every OG within a couple of points.
