Best Malz lot analysis?

Not a lot but from their website.

I agree with pretty much everyone here.  10% almost has to be a measurement error.  but with a good consisyent brewer this is not common.

Dang.  I was just about to post the same question.  I got Best Pils, Wheat & some Caramel from North Country but no lot analysis.  I emailed them but nothing yet.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Kaiser:
You still have some of this malt left. See what you get with future mashes. Maybe keep track if mash thickness and first wort gravity as well. You could always try a test mash to test the malt potential extract. But that might be taking it too far.

Yeah, I just used 17 lb. out of a new 55 lb. bag, so there's lots left.  I always track the SG of both the first runoff and the total volume into the kettle.  FWIW, I recall that my mash thickness this time around was 1.53 qt./lb.  I used 6.5 gal. for the mash and IIRC 6.25 gal. for the sparge.  And Fred, I agree that measurement error was the first thing to cross my mind, so I double checked all my measurements.  It will be interesting in future uses of this grain to see what happens.

Kaiser:
what was the gravity of the first runnings?
