so the past few batches i've made have all turned out under on the OG.for the most part not way under but under.i've made most of these multiple time and i know what i should be getting for an OG.but last night really discouraged me.i made this recipie and ended up with a measly .032.i'm really starting to get frustrated and don't know what the problem is.the differences from the recipie below are my mash temp was prob 159-160 and my sparge water i brought up to about 185 which i typically do so i really don't think that is the problem.any suggestion on what i'm doing wrong would be greatly apreciated!!!!!!!
