IPA Brew Session

Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Crush: The crush looked good. Any whole grains easily broke apart when pinched. I mixed the grains with mash paddle (2 sections) to ensure an efficient crush and a good mix of grains. Mash: Mash started on target at 152 degrees. After 30 minutes I checked the grain bed for dough balls. There were no dough balls in the infusion either. Not sure if this has something to do with the crush. Vorlough: Made 4 attempts at vorlough with pitcher. Runnings: 4.25 Gallons Sparge1: 2.22 Gallons at 190 degrees - Sparge temp is showing 150 degrees. Will check after 15 minutes Still at 150 degrees Sparge2: 2.22 Gallons at 190 degrees - Sparge temp is showing 150 degrees. Preboil Gravity - 1.050 OG - is at 1.070 instead of 1.102 Hopefully there is enough sugar to ferment the same ABV. If not then it will just be a lower IPA.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.50 gallonsliters at 1.050 for 90 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.060.

You wanted an OG of 1.102. It looks like it will be under.
