Hi all, I could do with a bit of advice on this please. Did my first partial mash last night to the recipe below, I used 18l of water in total, used 6l for the mash, the temp after adding the grain was just shy of 68 and dropped to 66 after the hour, rinsed the grain for 10mins in the remaining 12l at 74 then combined both and boiled for 1hour ended up with 13.5l in the FV. All good so far.
Chilled in the sink and left overnight, I've just taken the OG and it's 1.104 :-o
So the question is what would you reckon I've done wrong and how much should I dilute with water to reduce it to 1.084ish before I pitch the starter?
Thanks
Si
