I brewed my second All Grain batch last weekend using the BIAB method with pump driven recirculation. My first batch was a Brown Ale and everything went perfect. This batch was a Weizen - 50% Pils / 50% Wheat. After mashing for an hour I checked the gravity and was SUPER low. I eventually hit my numbers (1.042 pre-boil), but had to mash for THREE HOURS to get there!
What went wrong? Was it the different grain? The crush? I bought and milled this grain from a different shop than my first batch.
I appreciate all feedback!
