Extract/Partial Mash Brewing / Late malt additions and low gravity
« on: January 28, 2012, 08:52:00 AM »
First things first: thanks for a great forum. This is my first post because I've found answers to all my other questions by searching.
My issue: In recipes that have late malt additions, I often end up 0.010 or so short of my calculated gravity. Could the hops be leeching/absorbing some of the malt/sugar? I don't see any evidence of scorching or sedimenting that would show where else my sugars are going. (I will try removing my hop bags during late malt additions in the future.)
Any info would be appreciated. Cheers!
