Hi I'm new to brewing, have finish a batch and it turned out good, Bitter Like Me, Have another that is 16 days in (J. Ripper Brown Ale) and just brewed today (Poison Ivy Amber Ale). Batch size was 6 Gal (23L) Total water is just under 9 gal (33L) Boil size was to be 7Gal (27.33L) I ended up collecting more from the mash than expected and have a wort of 7Gal (28L) after boiling for 60 min ..................gravitys are down Per-Boil was 1.060 Post -Boil 1.034 and OG came out at 1.041(expected OG was 1.049).
I'm not to worried about a lower ABV but what did I do wrong.................should I have just stopped the sparge at the 7Gal Boil size?
