    Low OG on my first AG

    I did my first All Grain recipe this weekend and much to my wife's dismay, it did not curb my addiction to brewing! Although, I did run into a problem that I would like some suggestions for in the future. I'm pretty sure that I know why my OG was low. I had a half a$$ed design for a false...
