I have done a few patches now using the Brewers Best Kits and the last 3 have had much lower starting gravities then the recipe range indicates. Yesterday I did the Hop Nog and it was at 1.037 and and EPA this morning that is at 1.026. I just check the hydrometer to make sure it was...

Will check the yeast types when I get home. Don't know off hand. Will give it some more time and see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

YOu are correct. The reading is taken after everything except the yeast is added. I was just unsure if somehow the dillution of the wort made for a different boiling point thereby changing my starting gravity after I added all the water at the end. Really just looking for some reason that...
