Angus IPA II

This is my first all grain brew. I am using the Northern Brewer two igloo cooler system for HLT and MT and Blickman boilermaker pot as brew kettle. I am racking to carboy through a Therminator chiller and inline thermometer. Racked at 70°F exactly!

Brewer:	Doug Kraus		Email:	krausdoug@gmail.com
Beer:	Angus IPA II		Style:	India Pale Ale
Type:	All grain		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	12 HCU (~8 SRM)		Bitterness:	60 IBU
OG:	1.063		FG:	1.013
Alcohol:	6.5% v/v (5.1% w/w)
Water:	Put 4 gal in one cooler and 4.75 gal in the other to sit out overnight after heading them both up to around 140. No additions to the water.
Grain:	10 lb. American 2-row 8 oz. American crystal 10L 8 oz. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) 8 oz. Belgian CaraMunich
Mash:	75% efficiency
	Heat 5 gal of water to 162°F for the mash. Used 4.25 gal. According to my other thermometer the mash was only at 140°F so I added about another 0.75 gal of boiling to bring it up. Still only got to about 145°F. Let sit for 60 minutes. Heat 4.75 gal of water to 172°F for sparge. Heat 2 gal of water to 180°F and added for ten minutes for sacch rest. Then sparged to boil kettle.
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.053	6 gallons
	Irish moss added at 15 minutes.
Hops:	0.5 oz. Nugget (12.2% AA, 60 min.) 0.5 oz. Nugget (12.2% AA, 45 min.) 1 oz. Centennial (9.2% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (aroma)
Yeast:	White Labs WLP001 California Ale Yeast. Created a 600ml starter on Thurs night for Saturday morning brew. HUGE, QUICK action in fermenting carboy! Still going strong at 1 week mark (68°F in dark closet).
Log:	Brew date: 4/9/2011 First all grain brew. Based on OG of 1.040 at 65°F instead of 1.063. I obviously didn't get the mash efficiency I should have. Due to winding up with 7.25 gallons in brew kettle (boiled down to 6.24 - 6.5 gal)? Due to too low of sparge and mash?
