i just partial boiled my second batch today.both of my batches have been from kits.my first batch was a northwestern wascal wheat bavarian weizen, the kit says you should have an o.g. of 1.045 and i only got 1.032(i bottled at 1.008....weak beer)...today i partial brewed brewers best american micro style pale ale,said i should have 1.055 o.g. and i only gat 1.034....my process has been the same both batches...after boiling 55 minutes on electric range i add finishing hops for 5 min and rack my one gallon of wort into plastic fementor with 4 gallons already in it, then take a reading....why were both my batches low o.g.its killing my alcohol by volume
