Having an issue with missing my target OGs. I recently switched from light dme to extra light dme (pilsner). That's literally the only change I made from previous batches. I was always able to hit my target OGs. The last 2 batches have been very high...
I am under the impression that flaked oats and flaked wheat don't add much to the OG when steeped, unless accompanied by unmalted grain. I used 8oz flaked oats, 8 oz flaked wheat, 8 oz carapils and 8 oz of white wheat malt. Steeped until I hit 165 degrees, probably about 25 min over 150 degrees. When I used "extract" as my overall type recipe my target OG was 1.058. However, I got 1.072. When I changed the type to "partial mash", the estimated target OG is 1.073. SO, I'm assuming I actually did a partial mash?
Any insight on this would be great. I've overshot my target OG my last 2 batches, but I think it's because I am actually doing a partial mash vs all extract.
