Well, you win some and you lose some. Today's brew was for the most part a loss. I did an AHA Learn To Home Brew Recipe today. Unfortunately for me, my numbers are coming in way low. This was an extract recipe that I brewed.
My OG is coming in at at 1.020. Taken on a Hydrometer. I do know that the recipe called for a final result of 1 Gallon. I am closer to 2 Gallons post bowl. Interestingly, for some reason I cannot explain, I decided on a 3 gallon steep not a 2 gallon steep. I am pretty sure this was my biggest hurdle.
I am going to try again in a few days so I am not giving up the joy of brewing, just kind of frustrated with myself. Oh well, live and learn.
