Why is my starting gravity low? grains are crushed from the vendor, but biol volume is definitely a factor. a play it loose in that regard. I have a measuring cup that maxes out a 4 cups. I use that to measure out gallons pre-boil, but I don't know by post boil until I transfer to primary. I'm still trying to figure out how to account for grain absorption and loss to mash tun & kettle. |

Why is my starting gravity low? i heard that a rolling boil is all you need, not matter what style. I used 1.5 with Phat Tyre (first AG) and SG measured low so I switched to 1.25 to get the thicker mash, assuming more extraction per unit of water. I have used 2 resources: brewmorebeer.com/all-grain-brewing-mashing and the home brewers calculator for my android. |

Why is my starting gravity low? I'm trying to figure out how to compensate :) I didn't think the vendor's crush would be sub-par. the Belgium double and Phat Tyre where kits. the Hopback was assembled at my local supply store. given that my efficiency is lower; how you would you compensate to boost effeciency? |

Cold Break with a False Bottom @brewchez I thought the same thing, but that's the way it was explained to me. I'll update my answer tomorrow after I brew. |
