I had a final Wort Specific Gravity of 1.054; based on this I think I
am looking at between 5.25 to 5.5 ABV in the final product. My
software predicted 1.056. Not too bad, I think
This is a partial grain brew, and for the mash I used the above
steps, gradually increasing the temperature. I heated the grain and
water to 104 degrees F., and then placed the pot in an oven set at
250; every half hour I added the quantity of boiling water indicated
to bring it up to the next temperature, and placed it back in the
oven, covered.
It started bubbling in an HOUR.
